I see that you reported and described this behavior over at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2061493

Interesting. From the response at bugzilla it seems that the feature is built on top of "FF accounts" (which I'll have to look into) and that the browser communicates directly with the Firefox sync servers. Meaning that only Mozilla would know your sync identity across containers. Did I get that right? Whether that's a privacy concern is something that I'll have to think about. What's your take?


Not necessarily, but keeping an airgapped machine and Read-only backups somewhere seems more and more sensible. We're all going to get hacked eventually now

Or consider using Qubes OS, which for certain threat models is more secure than air gaping: https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/latest/introduction/faq.html#how...

I just reread Daemon and Freedom™. Highly recommended. They definitely hit different today than when I first read them in 2010 or thereabouts


Oh wow, Dark Star has been in my to watch list for a while already.

The German dubbing of Monty Python's Life of Brian is hilarious too. It's as funny as the original and sometimes even better.


I was too when due to network problems at our last traditional LAN-party (WC3, CS1.6 etc.) we used the hotspot feature of one phone to get everyone on a local network. I was skeptical and assumed the PCs wouldnt be able to see each other but lo and behold: it worked flawlessly!


About the "locked" Thoughts.doc file: Shouldn't this be trivially crackable nowadays?


thank you. TIL. Hiking the Green Belt sounds like an interesting long-term hiking project


At a glance the part of it that goes along the Polish coastline is largely forests growing on the sand dunes at the coast.

The experience is mixed, as while you can find amazing places like Słowiński Park Narodowy, where due to proximity to the lake and sea light pollution is low enough to behold the Milky Way, most of that section is interrupted by footpaths for beachgoers and really busy in season.


Having just reread Daemon by Daniel Suarez this hits differently. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(novel))


That's an interesting read!


Oh yeah. Browsing the submissions and forums on customize.org are among my first forays into the internet.


Well have you uploaded them to archive.org?
