Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

I've used Firefox for over a decade but still wouldn't trust them to keep all my account info on their servers, Especially not nowadays.

I already started using KeypassXC to locally store my passwords, just importing bookmarks and add-ons I've left to do.

I use file syncing (Syncthing) and symlinks to keep configs for some apps synced between devices. I don't for Firefox, but it might work.

I'm still a newbie Linux user so haven't fully delved into Symlinks...besides bricking a VM trying it once when following a guide.

Can I for instance link a folder where emulators or offline games store save data on my main SSD and have it automatically copied to a folder on my large HDD?

Yes you can, although this might be better done with rsync - and periodically runnind the syncing command.

But syncthing does basically the same thing plus you can sync between multiple devices on the same network.
