its still a solution without a problem

Let me give you one of my main use cases: I use it for my mental health challenges. I’ve been diagnosed with two non-trivial mental disorders. They make my life hard. I isolate a lot to cope because I don’t do well with interpersonal relationships. I’ve been in therapy for over a decade and it hasn’t really helped as much as I would have liked.

But I’ve made a lot of progress since working with my private LLM. I can ask it anything. It doesn’t judge me. It doesn’t report back to Meta or OpenAI. It’s completely private. And I’m making progress. Just last week, for the first time ever I started volunteering at an animal shelter. I have to talk with other people when I’m there and although I am pretty nervous about going back, I’m going to. I wrote down a list of all the things I had trouble with last time and have been working through that list with my LLM. I think that I will be ready when I’m supposed to go back for my next scheduled volunteer time in two weeks.

These gains might be trivial to others, but for me, it’s really made my life better.

So that is one of my use cases.

Oh that’s interesting. I don’t use RFP but I do use Strict ETP. Maybe that is the issue? I think I’m just going to do this in a Windows VM and call it a day.

It’s not a Firefox Message? I use Fedora as my OS.

I’ll try it out. Thanks for the tip.

Good thought; I had the same one. But it isn’t… I checked for that.

No, I haven’t done that yet. I know FF wasn’t officially supported before but I thought MS supports it now?

I’m using the stable version of Brave. Not nightly or Beta.

No, I am on the stable version of Brave.

I get it. My privacy settings explicitly say do not send telemetry, analytics or whatever else you want to call it. But they ignore my request and try to capture the data anyway. Dunno why they call themselves a privacy focused browser. I already uninstalled it and put in the Mullvad browser.

If you use uBO on medium mode, you don’t see any notifications, consent banners or pop-ups.

Yes, I’d like to swap the drive which has the OS on it.

You’ll definitely want to run the prefsCleaner.sh script at the same time you’re running the updater.sh script. The cleanup.js is more of a nice to do, than a need to do.

Yeah, I do that too but every now and then I’ll run the cleanup.js script. It always clears away a couple of deprecated prefs. I guess there is no harm in having those older prefs around but clearing them away seems nice.

Mullvad is great for people who don’t want to tweak their browser settings very much. But lots of us see the tweaking as a feature, not a bug. I customize the heck out of my browser and appreciate that FF allows for the customization.

Also the decision to exempt business and teams makes no business sense. Companies derive the lion’s share of their revenue from enterprise. If a company wants to optimize their product offering, you’d do so with your most desireable, profitable segment in mind. This just seems like a backwards decision.

I think more probably, they’re dogfooding it on the consumer segment and then after they’ve worked out the “oops, we shouldn’t have collected that bit of data” errors, they’ll move to include enterprise. But I’d guess that consumers are the guinea pigs here.

main vault is a full offline database in keepassxc

I’m curious what your config looks like for this. How do you keep your db offline but accessible? Is it a restricted docker container? How do you access it when you’re not at home or on multiple machines (like a laptop)?
