many times I find myself in situations where I’m on some computer which is totally isolated - friends computer, completely newly installed (VM), some corporate remote desktop where I can’t install anything — and I need to transfer some information to this computer.

Ideally what I would have is:

• some sort of web chat
• self hosted (so that I can spin it up only when I need it, and that I can “destroy” all the data after each session)
• simple URL where you specify a room name edit it (eg.: domain.com/qck-321)
• on open you specify username (no other authentication)
• first person who joins needs to confirm all the others (so people can’t just “drop in”)
• no fancy technology (web sockets,…)

what I found so far:

• https://tlk.io/ - quite close but not all points
• https://chitchatter.im/ - this one is quite promising but unfortunately it failed me on first windows remote machine (probably due to some firewall rule)

I’m more that prepared to develop something my self but first I would like to check if there is really nothing out there to solve this.

Bonus question- do you have any other approach - how do you transfer (potentially sensitive) information to a “isolated” machine?

Hello I just moved (from Brave) to Vivaldi and I have to say I quite like it.

But I have also quite a big blocker.

I use my browser with two profiles (this I was able to also do in Vivaldi) but I want to use some sort of shortcuts to switch between two Vivaldi windows (each running it own profile).

On Brave (or Chrome) I was able to do this by setting name of the browser and together with Context (window switcher) I just wrote 3 letters of the name and I was moved to that window. But now I just see [Title of the curent tab] - Vivaldi for all of them.

Is there a way (can be some other, using some other software) to switch to a specific window which is running specific Profile?

Problem: I scroll on lemmy, I talk to friends, I see some interesting page, project, funny meme or something else. (when I was on reddit i pressed SAVE, when I was on Instagram I pressed PIN (or something) and now I’m stuck with (uncategorised) information all over the place.

My current idea is: push everything to Telegram group where my bot listens, take the URL, maybe even extract some data and save it somewhere. 90% of my input will be over the phone but here and there also PC.

Any suggestions for self-hosted service to dump data in our (even better) to even skip whole bot part altogether?

UPDATE: Maybe I was a bit unclear. I want to "save" URLs and also somehow tag/categorize them. So I think plain bookmarks won't cut it, also flow is important (on mobile), switching copy/paste is to much hassle.

Lemmy is great!

I subscribed to X number of communities.

I have a "home screen" set to: Subscribed, Hot

But then I have my feed and what I would like is to somehow "read" post (maybe just a title, maybe click and read whole, maybe upvote, maybe downvote). The problem is that I can "hide" post only be up/down vote or click on it.

Is this I problem or do I using feed wrong?

What I image to be good is have like mark-as-read button which hides post, so that I can get new ones.

Did anyone tried this? If so - what are results?
