One of these days I need to remember to export my credentials and import them into LaGrange on my other computers, so I don't disappear from here for so long. o.O

I actually found that in Lagrange I can just make an archive and use that to transfer my credentials to copies of Lagrange on my other hardware. Super easy. :) But thanks for all the replies. · 1 week ago
@m0xee I do something similar, but different. I keep links as part of my notes instead, so a link always has a context. Which means it also has to be important enough for me to write a bit about it. 😂
I have a few daily links in Firefox and Lagrange, but Firefox is not backed up anywhere. it's mostly about convenience. 😂 · 1 week ago
@hanzbrix good point, one doesn't need that often! Except for bookmarks — I maintain mine in amfora and those are under version control. Every once in a while I check out that repo on the machine where my capsule is hosted and use a simple Python script to convert xbel format to normal gemtext with links — in Lagrange I have that page bookmarked and marked as a source of bookmarks, so it brings them in. A bit clunky compared to something like Firefox Sync, but I can live with that 😁 · 1 week ago
@m0xee Yeah the directory should work. But for me I just do normal backups, cos there isn't really many changes in my Lagrange. 😂 · 1 week ago
@hanzbrix It's sad that you can't put Lagrange's configuration files under version control. Because you can't make them symlinks — it only reads them once on the next startup, but it doesn't write to the symlinked file, instead it deletes the link and creates a normal file in its place 🤪
I haven't tried making its config directory itself a repository though — not as comfy to use, but it might work 🤔 · 1 week ago
No problem, it takes a lot of the pain out of figuring out how to transfer stuff between devices. 😁 · 1 week ago
@hanzbrix I'll have to look into that, thanks. :) · 1 week ago
You can use syncthing! · 1 week ago
