  • No, I got that but like I said, it is just a force of habit for me to use private window during my web use. I need to use internet on multiple systems as part of my work and it’s just become natural for me to open a private session to search and do stuff and not to leave any login sessions open by mistake.

    But I reading the replies makes me realise that it must be android’s aggressive battery saving tricks that kills Firefox active private sessions. But it is sad that I’m noticing this only for Firefox while Brave browser is exempt. Maybe because it is chromium based.

    I hate it very much. I am sure it is due to my limited understanding of it, but I’ve been stuck on some things that were very easy for me using VM.

    We have two networks, one of which has very limited internet connectivity, behind proxy. When using VMs, I used to configure everything: code, files, settings on a machine with no restrictions; shut it down; move the VM files to the restricted network; boot and be happily on my way.

    I’m unable to make this work with docker. Getting my Ubuntu server fetch its updates behind proxy is easy enough; setting it for python Pip is another level; realising the specific python libraries need special keys to work around proxies is yet another; figuring out how to get it done for Docker and python under it is when I gave up. Why can it not be as simple as the VM!

    Maybe I’m not looking using the right terms or maybe I should go and learn docker “properly”, but there is no doubt that using Docker is much more difficult for my use case than using VMs.











  • I have hosted Jitsi publicly for my organisation for a bit and all the while I was hosting it, there was not much difference between it and the one hosted by Jitsi. Sometimes the add-ons like etherpad etc are a bit of a hassle to configure. Sometimes these features offered by the online service are an iteration or two ahead since the folks at Jitsi are actively developing it and have access to alpha/beta builds that are a trouble to implement locally.

    Since you are already considering the privacy concerns, there is nothing much remaining. Maybe uptime concerns if third parties are going to use your service too and will shout at you if they can’t access your service.

    I also dabbled with hosting it through OpenFire which gives you more granular control over scheduling the meetings. Maybe you could explore that too.

    Overall it is a fun thing and you feel fully in control.
