Thanks! Learned a lot

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

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?

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

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?

Maybe because they are significantly more finicky than DVDs to set up for playing in VLC for example. You need to download a key list of all released bluray movies from a slightly sketchy website, put it on a folder in the system somewhere and only then does it work.
I'm not sure if it's easier using jellyfin etc.

Is there a reason you can think of why AMD, Intel etc. would not want to do this?
Really enjoyed the video and feel that I (not being in the IT industry) better understand CPUs und and RAM now.

The use of AI assistants in genealogy is interesting. There seems to be a lot of activity in that area

I dig the electroduotone. Congrats!
Have you heard of electronicos fantasticos? It's this band from Japan who make incredible music with instruments they made themselves.
