File based syncing of profile data instead of Mozilla sync? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

XBrowserSync and Floccus don't sync to local files, unless you self-host the server or a webDAV respectively.

Lofloccus makes it easy to spawn a local webDAV server (making Floccus save your bookmarks to local files) which I can then sync with rsync or Syncthing or whatever system I already like. It's only available for Windows and MacOS though.

Your mobile device NEEDS firewall profiles in c/[email protected]

It's me asking if there's any firewall out there that supports profiles. I've learnt graphene has this functionality, that's become one option to go with.

Does the school you go to need to know that you have the Signal app installed on your phone, checking with the Signal servers in the background for new messages? Even if you chose to use a VPN to tunnel your traffic entirely, is there no other option but for your employer to witness you connected to a foreign VPN server? If you connected to a point at your home, even that could be interpreted that you have something hide.

You could have two phones with different sets of apps in your pocket (one for “business” and one for everything else), but you if you don’t want that you have to ask:

Is there a firewall for Android that can block your usual traffic from leaving the device, by turning on a specific profile based on something like the Wi-Fi name? There are quite a few traffic blockers, such as RethinkDNS, Netguard, or personalDNSfilter, but they assume you want to block the same set of traffic regardless of time and place.

Okay what is LW's misunderstanding?

Sorry guys it was me. Don't be mad, we couldn't all be the #1 contributor to the map!

I'm always surprised how poor legibility the most used digital map has in c/[email protected]

I don't think you were making this argument, but I want to highlight that data is not morally neutral. Google Maps drives even less customers to stores that are smaller, and already have difficulty getting customers.

What do you currently use IPFS for? (lemmy.ml)
 

I like the IPFS technology as an idea, I can pin my files I guess, but I don't know any communities or services that I wanna use that leverage IPFS.

I was wondering what y'all are using.
