Rclone seems like a good bet; however I’m a bit confused as to how to get started. Would one of you kind souls be good enough to guide me through some of the process? I’ve installed the latest .deb, and if I want to (eventually) sync my home folder to Proton Drive, then rclone needs to run at startup in the background, yes? What is the command for this? It’s not just rclone, it has to be rclone rc or rcd . . . ? Or pehaps I need to set up Proton Drive to receive my files first?

No worries 🙂

If I wanted to use it to real-time sync my home folder, this wouldn’t work with just the browser though, right?

I tried setting this up on my QNAP and almost pulled out all my spines (because I’m a hedgehog 🦔) in the process. This was quite a while ago, so I don’t remember exactly what the issue(s) were, but I do remember spending quite a bit of time on this without being able to get it to work. The fault may lie with the QNAP.

I use syncthing to sync from my laptop to phone 👍

I’ve used this for sharing large files and liked it, but I don’t think it’s open source . . .

🙂👍

I have a hetzner storage box mounted with sshfs

Wish I was smart enough to know what that is 🙄

@Kwakigra@beehaw.org, @Gaywallet@beehaw.org, & @h3mlocke@lemm.ee: I probably wouldn’t have found this if it weren’t for Arts & Letters Daily, which I highly recommend, if you haven’t already heard of it. It’s definitely more humanities oriented, but over the years they’ve posted a lot of interesting stuff that I probably would never have read otherwise.

Can’t stop listening to it!

🎇 Forgot how much fun this was! 🎇

Real number! Maybe should have tried fake one, but I’ve given up on them at this point.

Can’t receive SMS message from infomaniak, so can’t sign up! 🙁 Well, so much for that…

EDIT: How ever I try to sign up for a free email account with them, infomaniak throws up roadblocks of one kind or another, whether on mobile or desktop. According to this users are required to provide a phone number and then enter a verification code sent by SMS, which never arrives. Looked promising. Oh well, too bad.

A life that was probably “nasty, brutish, and short” would be my guess.

Yes, coincidence, I promise 🙂

If a synched mobile version is on the way, I could try it out on the desktop…

1. Ok (um, then they do it why?) My attention has been really divided for the past couple days, so I haven’t really read very deeply into PPA.

2. Didn’t know that; maybe they should reconfigure themselves to be more like Wikipedia? 🤷 It seems like Wikipedia has way more users than FF, and they’re able to keep going on the small donations they request from time to time.

3. Indeed it does! And it might be nice if it wasn’t checked by default like it was in mine, but ok, I guess.

Also, what have hamsters ever done to you? 😉

Piefed seems nice.

Does anyone know if the PPA/Personal Pan Pizza Privacy/Whatever thing has an about:config entry or is it controlled from about:preferences#privacy?

EDIT: To answer my own question, the about:config entry is “dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled” which should be set to “false”; for those of us who use arkenfox, you should add this to your user-overrides.js file and then run the updater:

user_pref(“dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled”, false); // Disable Privacy-Preserving Attribution

This is correct AFAICT.

EDIT EDIT: Also, possibly naive question: Why can’t Mozilla/Firefox just ask for donations like Wikipedia does instead of sneaking around, which they sort of seem to do once in a while?
