Good way to send small messages between devices ?
  • SSH over Tailscale to Termux (all three free) using private-key authentication — two levels of e2ee, and fairly easy to use.

    For small bits of text, I use one of these, depending on the direction and the source device:

    • Laptop → phone: xclip -o | ssh phone termux-clipboard-set
    • Laptop ← phone: ssh phone termux-clipboard-get | xclip
    • Phone → laptop: termux-clipboard-get | ssh laptop DISPLAY=:0 xclip
    • Phone ← laptop: ssh laptop DISPLAY=:0 xclip -o | termux-clipboard-set

    For larger things, or files, I use scp. For other devices that I haven't setup beforehand, or can't set up (e.g. can't run arbitrary programs), I connect to my phone's hotspot, and use Total Commander's Wi-Fi transfer addon for files (both of which are also free). Small strings I just copy over by eye and hope it goes well.

  • #Firefox doesn't need any new features to be more attractive for users, it just needs to make CSS theming more accessible
  • Tab grouping is nice, but I've found Sidebery to meet my needs (specifically nested tab groups, and separating projects — plus it worked out of the box with Firefox Color) much better. I have it configured to automatically unload collapsed branches, which is nice as a tab hoarder, and it can fully send entire panels to your bookmarks for later usage (this is a massive performance improvement when you're regularly opening 100–200 tabs/day per panel). A native solution, however, would be much appreciated — as long as there's a way to nest tab groups and unload their contents.

  • Mozilla fixes Firefox zero-day actively exploited in attacks
  • Based on your quite, this is a use-after-free, meaning that despite Firefox marking the memory region as free to be reallocated, it continues to use the memory. This is dangerous as an attacker may be able to allocate in that region, leetting them change the old structure's values.

  • Sometimes, it's backwards
  • I have serve-web running as a service, but that only works well on desktop screen layouts — from my experience, it runs terribly on mobile. However, even then, my tab layout isn't synced between devices. My tmux saves all of my open projects, so I could throw my phone in a woodchipper at any moment, pull out my laptop, and be exactly where I left off. Good luck doing that with vscode.

  • Fine, I'll join the bandwagon
