Mine is for 10 people and has been running on a 2 CPU instance with plenty of space

I’ve honestly just been debating adding a separate space to my matrix server for family

haven’t yet, but it’s a fork so I assume it handles the same way as FF

Personally I switched to LibreWolf and it’s a drop in replacement. I don’t know if it’ll be my forever decision, but I’ve been using it for 4 straight days and don’t even notice it.

They literally said they had rights to everything you typed into Firefox, and then said for “necessary” purposes. Then in the same stroke of the pen removed all references to “Never selling your data”. Nope, it’s black and white for me. This video can try and convince me that “I don’t understand legalese”, but I read it right there.

Legalese is just very precise wording. When they use something as vague as “necessary” without defining what necessary means - it means it has no definition. Necessary to who? For them to operate Firefox but will never leave my PC? Then that would have been something they could have written into the actual agreement. Does it mean Necessary for Mozilla to maintain their market position by selling data? Again, we have no idea because it wasn’t written down. No, the vagueness was there on purpose. They know what data I’m typing into my browser and how much it’s worth.

And I haven’t even mentioned how they tried to tell me how I could not use my browser on my computer to look at “explicit imagery”.

No, fuck Mozilla, they were very clear in what they said.

Yeah, with standards you have to pick your battles like that. It would have been perceived badly, and anything else Firefox would have wanted to do would have been shot down with that used as the example. A good stake in the ground they made was with manifest v3 and not arbitrarily trying to stop ad blockers, and they had the power to do that, granted less of a standard.

I’m always surprised at myself how much more productive I am during 4 day weeks. If I have a 3 day weekend and I only had to work 4 days I get so much more stuff done than even if I had the full 5 days.

Oh my god I had to re-read that. Fuuuuuck that. Seriously fuck that. All those FAANG companies are like that now. Laying off hundreds/thousands and now are trying to squeeze their employees. Nope, I do 40 hours a week and I’m content with it.

I think that’s wise, just stay frosty my friend.

Idk man, at this point I see the hope, but after watching a few videos today of deep dives into their leadership - I don’t have much hope for them anymore. Most of them come from data brokers and ad agencies, Meta, and other big tech. If it’s not today, it’ll happen tomorrow when the dust does settle.

Looking at the PR where they literally removed “We will never sell your data” was pretty much the final nail in the coffin for me.

Right? The license literally says they have a right to everything - everything we do in Firefox, and that we grant them full access to it. The shit is that? I don’t need a law degree to read and understand that.

No, Mozilla, you don’t have permission to see everything I write and type. You don’t have permission to see the images I upload or even as far as I’m concerned you don’t have the rights to see what webpages I visit. The most you get is when I (used to) submit a bug report.

The browser is the fundamental most basic access to the internet. I get that there’s potential for data brokering profit, but it is a slap in the face to everyone who used firefox for privacy reasons.

They’re trying to backpedal now:

Friday’s post additionally provides some context about why the company has “stepped away from making blanket claims that ‘We never sell your data.’” Mozilla says that “in some places, the LEGAL definition of ‘sale of data’ is broad and evolving,”and that “the competing interpretations of do-not-sell requirements does leave many businesses uncertain about their exact obligations and whether or not they’re considered to be ‘selling data.’”

See, you don’t need to ever sell my data - like ever. There is zero reason for a browser to sell my data. I don’t care about the backpedaling.

I spent 20 years on Firefox. Through the good years and the bad, when it was slow and clunky compared to the new shiny chrome through the bad PR. This is the straw that broke the camel’s back. For now I’m on Librewolf - then who knows.

This is completely accurate, and people don’t know how non anonymous it is.

Your hair one for example. Who cares, say you even have brunette hair, something generic. Okay, then let’s add on that you’re using an iPhone. How narrow is the search now? What state you’re in? Who owns a specific model of TV?

I would argue that with only just a few data points you could be identified.

And now they are taking everything you put into your browser and everything you take out. Add some AI pizazz and they’ll be able to build a pretty accurate profile about you.

That particular one is long gone I’m afraid, but it’s essentially just docker compose down, tar like I did above, docker compose up -d, and then I used rclone to upload it

Seconded, and great callout @RadDevon@lemmy.zip , yes part of my script was to stop the container gracefully, tar it, start it again, and then copy the tar somewhere. it “should” be fine, in a production environment where you could have zero downtime I would take a different approach, but we’re selfhosters. Just schedule it for 2am or something.

Oh, and feel free to test! Docker makes it super easy. Just extract the tar somewhere else on the drive, point your container to the new volume, see if it spins up. Then you’ll know your backup strategy is working!

If you’re using docker (like your DBs run in docker), then I think you’re overthinking it personally. Just back up the volume that the container uses, then you can just plop it back and it will carry on carefree.

I usually did a simple tar cvf /path/to/compressed.tar.gz /my/docker/volume for each of my volumes, then backed up the tar. Kept symlinks and everything nice and happy. If you do that for each of your volumes, and you also have your config for running your containers like a docker-compose, congrats that’s all you need.

I don’t know who said you can’t just back up the volume, to me that’s kind of the point of docker. It’s extreme portability.

damn, RTL text is no trivial matter, kudos to them for getting that done

Ah, that makes sense. I didn’t realize we had asked for a new UI, here I was thinking we just wanted basic quality of life updates

Oh and make it FAST, no loading bars or spinners!

I have lost now not hours, but days debugging their terrible AIO container. Live production code stored in persistent volumes. Scattered files around the main drive in seemingly arbitrary locations. Environment variables that are consistently ignored/overrided. It’s probably my number one example of worst docker containers and what not to do when designing your container.

It’s because with docker you don’t need to do log files. Logging should be to stdout, and you let the host, orchestration framework, or whoever is running the container so logs however they want to. The container should not be writing log files in the first place, containers should be immutable except for core application logic.
