The thing that keeps me on Firefox/Librewolf is the Holy Trinity of features:

- Profiles (with selector in-browser since 139 AFAIR)

- Container tabs

- Temporary containers

When some of the other browsers will have all these features, maybe I'll make the switch.

With Syncthing you don't need hosting. I use it for everything I can.

I'll give you my use case. I have 3 profiles, personal, scouts and fencing association. Each of these profiles syncs with its own Sync Profile (email), because they are all used on different computers, some of which are not mine and use the institution email for syncing.

The personal profile use my personal mail, and has various container tabs as needed.

The scouts profile use the scouts email for syncing, share with my fellow scouts.

The fencing association I manage syncs with my personal email in the association's domain, and it has 3 containers: association-personal (for my files and email in google workplace), association-admin (for managing the whole workplace) and backup (recovery email for the workplace and for some other external services before workplace).

With containers only the sync will not work, and also I will be nagged to "switch to this container" everytime I open a google-related page, which I use with 5 different accounts. Profiles and containers fit perfectly my use case.

My girlfriend is a general practitioner and used to work as out-of-hours service doctor . She swore (and her collegues agreed) that full-moon nights and new-moon nights were the worst: much more cases, much more serious and with strange/deranged/dangerous people.

So we did a pseudo-statistic research, taking notes on number of patients and severity of the illness. On full-moon nights and new-moon nights there were:

- 40% more calls

- 20% more requests for urgent care

- 35% more requests from drunks, drugs addicts and mentally ill people

Also, the vast majority of situations in which occurred some form of verbal abuse, violence or sexual assault (always verbal thankfully, but other colleagues were not so lucky) happened on those nights or the day before or after.

This was a "research" lasted for a year, 3 nights per week. We asked to work on it for her PhD, but no other doctor was willing to take part in it, and my girlfriend was too horrified from her experience as a out-of-hours service doctor to keep going, so it kind of died here and there.

Another poor decision from my governament, pushing Italy further beyond the curve of innovation and scientific research, banning an entire industry sector before it's even born.

Lucky for us, it's an useless law: if Europe choose to allow those products to be sold (which is currently not allowed), Italy must oblige.

The only actual consequence of this law, aside from prohibiting some names for meatless foods, is denying the birth of a whole industry sector.

With alpine and an external HD you just need to copy some file on a windows-formatted SD card to have a fully working system that doesn't even write to the SD.

Hello fellow "waster"! It's nice to see another one from the other side of world! I practice the Bolognese fighting school (Achille Marozzo and Antonio Manciolino) at our fencing club (Sala d'Arme Achille Marozzo). Fun fact: I was born, raised, and currently living and writing from Premariacco, Fiore's birthplace :)

Not by default. I did that running two instances of the executable and pointing them to different "home" folders.

It works, but it's an hack...

NextDNS has a feature to block ads and tracking also from SmartTV's producers. Works wonders.

Another issue that I find absurd: if I share a folder with a group in gsuite (aka mailing list), and add or remove members to the group, the permissions are not automatically updated.

It's not really Neapolitan, it's Italian plain and simple.

Province of Udine. Yes, Eolo has been my provider for the last 10 years, I was one of the earliest adopters in the province. The service has always been good, but worsening in the last 2 years due to too many contracts been sold without improving the infrastructure. IE, during the lockdown I had to rely on the 4G network (even checking email was not possible through Eolo) and somedays I still have troubles.

If I may, which provider offers you 4DL/4UL and how much does it costs?
