What does HackerNews think of profile-sync-daemon?

MX too bloated. Feel the power of ANTIX with RUNIT, run it RAM, setup some persistence on some storage in whichever way you like, disable and remove all the fluff like conky, use IceWM as WM, and zzzfm as filemanager, make it look nice, feel the insane speed.

Remaster. Then this is yours. And stays that way, whith some remastering from time to time, due to updates, whatever.

Giggle like a madman for not having to care about all the useless 'make work, make work!' anymore.

Relax.

Edit: While you're at it, deploy https://github.com/graysky2/profile-sync-daemon / https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Profile-sync-daemon or something like that for FF. That's the icing on the cake, for FF not to access your /home , whereever that may be stored. Works wonders for Sideberry, and preserves your precious SSD. OFC that applies to any distro.

Edit: s/Openbox/IceWM

Launchpad is such a shitty website, aimed at Ubuntu and only Ubuntu, links to source code or more information are nowhere to be found...

Searching on Github, this seems to be it. Turns out, there's releases for Arch, Debian, etc. and it's even in the repositories. No need to add a ppa. https://github.com/graysky2/profile-sync-daemon

For Debian and co:

    $ apt-cache show profile-sync-daemon
    $ sudo apt-get install profile-sync-daemon

`mount -l` shows a filesystem of type `overlay` for each browser (in my case, chromium, chrome, firefox). Range from 50MB to 200MB. I have it to sync to disc every 15min - so I reckon it empties out the ram whenever it syncs. I've never had a problem (8GB of ram on the machine I initially installed it on) so I haven't watched to see what the max size is. The developer [1] is great - issues are resolved very quickly.
