@dillo@fosstodon.org oh no, this way the floppy will be full in no time 😄

@lepeter@piaille.fr not yet :-)

The floppy size limit is to prevent the browser code from becoming too complex.

This forces us to offload extra functionallity to plugins, which is the intended effect.

@dillo@fosstodon.org but if you want a proper DiDi (Dillo Distribution), you have to include everything 😆

Wow thanks, I even had no clue that a CLI program for FF sync existed.

@dillo@fosstodon.org Omg, I can't believe Dillo is still alive! I'm following you rn 😁

Btw, is there also a way to sync the bookmarks to Nextcloud? I am currently on Firefox and I am using Floccus for this.

@petrescatraian@libranet.de there is no plugin I'm aware of, but I assume they should have an API to do the syncing which can be used to write one.

For reference, the FF one is 54 lines long of shell script and took me 1 h to write.
