Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@serge@babka.social I'm really looking into self hosting sync, for me.
BUT, it's a technology bar to entry and isn't really a solution to the underlying problem because that just says "if you privileged (tech, money to host) you can get out of a bad deal"
@peribotsarah@babka.social
I've self-hosted services for decades and my positions are slowly evolving as the needs, tech stack, and political landscape change. I'm more than happy to share my thoughts with you on this.
As this relates to Babka... there's for sure a component of wanting to be sure the site has extremely high availability, reliability, and for sure in essentially the expense of running the site vs its income and its use.
@serge@babka.social
what about syncing the Browser profile folder? works for me Quote sufficient for Firefox. should be adaptable.
@peribotsarah@babka.social
@jakob_thoboell@kirche.social
How does that work on Android?
@peribotsarah@babka.social
@serge@babka.social
I have not tried. For Kombination of different OS Desktop systems it works without trouble.
@peribotsarah@babka.social
@serge@babka.social Yes!
What I said is more of an observation that the general availability of tech is toxic, there are ways out of it, and you and I can probably navigate it Better than Most.
Actually, Kudos to you (and many Fedi-hosts) for making that escape possible for more than yourself.
I'm much more than happy to hear what you have to say on this!
