@martin @schnittchen @jalcine @krono @dgold If you’re going to use Firefox Sync, ensure that you’re not storing your data with Mozilla, Inc. This great write up tells you how to run your own sync server

@martin @schnittchen @jalcine @krono @dgold Does anyone have experience with https://www.xbrowsersync.org . Seems to do something simular both for both Firefox and Chrome.

@martin I really like the "Send tab to device" feature, which I suspect is powered through the sync. Can you try and see if it still works?

@aralJust keep in mind that you still have to have a Firefox account at #mozilla for logins.They claim they cannot do anything with it, but that's up to you to believe@martin @schnittchen @jalcine @krono @dgold

@ck @aral @martin @schnittchen @jalcine @krono @dgold Their docs say all the crypto is done clientside, and you can read the code to verify it.

@Wolf480pl @ck @aral and in the end you need to #trust the browser anyway, don't you? i mean, how can you make sure they are not collecting all the data in the background, whether or not you enabled sync..?that's why i'm not using #chrome - they are for sure collecting everything there is to collect...for #firefox i'm at least not sure ;-)i'd still recommend to #questionthat individually.

@martin Isn't Mozilla providing a ready Docker image on Docker Hub? I'm using an image by crazymax for a longer time now.

@jlelse there is an image @ #dockerhub called #mozilla/syncserver, but that is inofficial. not sure who built it and what's in it...basically, everyone could create an account with the name "mozilla" :)and i'd never use an image by some unknown #3rdparty (like crazymax) for such #sensitive information... who knows what's in the image? and what's in there next week?

@martin @jlelseWhat's in it now? As it's not an automated build (and the Dockerfile is unknown), you have to vet this using the tools out there.What's in it next week? You don't have to worry about this when using an image version SHA. Never use latest!But yes, it mostly sucks. Better roll your own image.

@sendung @jlelse hehe, #bullseye! :angry_trump: hard to know what you get in the end, as usual. different levels of #uncertaintyi for sure wouldn't trust the image of crazymax, unless he's a good friend. i've seen many popular accs being sold or #hijacked..if #mozilla would be an official acc at #dockerhub, i'd probably also have sufficient #trust in that image.but... most trustworthy is the sources and a #dockerfile from mozilla's repo. so i need to (automatically) build the image myself
