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

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. 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.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. 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.

@dillo@fosstodon.org oh no, this way the floppy will be full in no time 😄

@lepeter@piaille.fr not yet :-)

The floppy size limit is to prevent the browser code from becoming too complex.

This forces us to offload extra functionallity to plugins, which is the intended effect.

@dillo@fosstodon.org but if you want a proper DiDi (Dillo Distribution), you have to include everything 😆

@dillo@fosstodon.org
Wow thanks, I even had no clue that a CLI program for FF sync existed.

@dillo@fosstodon.org Omg, I can't believe Dillo is still alive! I'm following you rn 😁

Btw, is there also a way to sync the bookmarks to Nextcloud? I am currently on Firefox and I am using Floccus for this.

[–] dillo@fosstodon.org 1 points 2 months ago

@petrescatraian@libranet.de there is no plugin I'm aware of, but I assume they should have an API to do the syncing which can be used to write one.

For reference, the FF one is 54 lines long of shell script and took me 1 h to write.
