About space ...

Can recommend AppleTV "For all mankind" to show us what could have been if history went another way AND if we did innovate even faster.

Which we dont.

I dont think we have "I, Robot ..." level bots in 5 year for personal houshold companionship.

Also Musk is delirious in his data center in space plans.

Google only respects corporate boundaries for specific things (like email and cloud storage of the org doing the mdm).

Your use case has a lot, outside of that, meaning all consumer services they track anyway.

If its without an account they keep a profile without account info, but every data point they get adds to it nonetheless.

In NL we did research of MDM kids accounts for schools. Turns out all those things not school related they keep tracking.

Scientists Reveal Hidden Second Layer of Human DNA in c/science@mander.xyz
[–] joeldebruijn@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 month ago

I find it truely amazing but a "hidden second layer" would be like a palimpsest, data-within-data.

In this case it seems more like "besides the data also the mechanics of the storage play a crucial and far bigger role then anticipated".

But headlines etc etc

2 things to make this easier:

  • No need to manage domain, hosting providers. Just get privacy-first mail provider (like Proton or something).

  • No need to big-bang it. Just start connecting new accounts to the new email instead of Googles. Then once in while change them for existing services (retail for example and government) one by one.

Then after 2 years or so you will notice a couple of old ones are from obsolete services or can be changed to finish it off.

Last I did this it was with an external hard drive. First via USB with changed boot order and later on with a Thunderbolt Samsung X5 drive which is considered "second internal drive" for performance reasons.

I also like it that their King Charles III has no say in it while some other parts of the commonwealth left EU in recent history.

Made a big(?) mistake with mv /*/*/* ./ (lemmy.ml)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by joeldebruijn@lemmy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Background:

I think I messed up ... Wanted to get a lot of files out of a nested folderstructure 3 levels deep and used mv /*/*/* ./ somewhere deep in my personal folders. I got a lot of errors and quick as I could stopped it. Now that folder is is messed up with a lot of stuff (see below) which I dont know the origin of. The good news: I have fairly recent backups

Questions:

  • Could they be from subdirectories in my home folder?
  • Could they be from subdirectories outside my home folder? Especially grubenv caught my eye.
  • Could it be potentially dangerous to reboot? I leave my PC on untill I know more.
  • Would it be possible to reverse the moving in some way, to put them back where they belong, even manually?

Any help greatly appreciated.

File based syncing of profile data instead of Mozilla sync? (lemmy.ml)
 

I use Firefox (LibreWolf with Mozilla sync) on multiple devices. To have my tabs, extensions and history easy available I use Mozilla for syncing that data.

Would it be possible to just use a generic sync service like rsync or something, to sync the profile folders and every file in it?

Or would that break or corrupt data?

How to join Librewolf Matrix room? (lemmy.ml)

Was wondering why no new messages turned up, since tuesday or something. Turned out the Librewolf Matrix room is changed / upgraded or something like that. It involves joining once again. But both in Element and Fluffy clients I get this error:

MatrixError: [403] You do not belong to any of the required rooms/spaces to join this room. (https://matrix-client.matrix.org/_matrix/client/v3/join/!AMixpitUKQHatikSri%3Amatrix.org?server_name=matrix.org&server_name=envs.net&server_name=fedora.im&via=matrix.org&via=envs.net&via=fedora.im)

Is there a way to join the matrix chat room one again?

I do see the space with the 3 rooms.

Profilemanager opening nothing (lemmy.ml)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by joeldebruijn@lemmy.ml to c/librewolf@lemmy.ml
0 comments fedilink
 

Background: I use profiles frequently to separate work, home and other things. In some profiles I use other DRM and fingerprint settings etc Also I switched from installing from flathub to manual (https://librewolf.net/installation/debian/)

Issue: Since a couple of weeks, some profiles dont start. Choosing them will amount to nothing. Librewolf doesnt start, not in the background nor in the foreground. Choosing another profile and after that, the intended one sometimes works around the issue.

Research:

The installs.ini shows the default profile TWO times:

[AA67A15BF0F93AE3] Default=Thuis Locked=1

[6C4726F70D182CF7] Default=Thuis Locked=1

Both installs are also mentioned in profiles.ini.

Question:

  • Is having 2 install entries the cause? Because the profilemanager doesnt know what to do?
  • Should I remove one of them but which? Opening the /.librewolf/Thuis profile doesnt give information which one is in use. Or I dont know where to look. Assuming this will help of course.
