Firefox about:config privacy settings

ABOUT

about:config settings to harden the Firefox browser. Privacy and performance enhancements.
To change these settings type 'about:config' in the url bar. Then search the setting you would like to change and modify the value. Some settings may break certain websites from functioning and rendering normally. Some settings may also make firefox unstable. I am not liable for any damages/loss of data.

Not all these changes are necessary and will be dependent upon your usage and hardware. Do some research on settings if you don't understand what they do. These settings are best combined with your standard privacy extensions (HTTPS EverywhereNo longer required: Enable HTTPS-Only Mode, NoScript/Request Policy, uBlock origin, agent spoofing, Privacy Badger etc), and all plugins set to "Ask To Activate".

0XDE57 / backup.bat
Created January 29, 2021 00:18
backup script (double check paths before running)
::robocopy C:\source M:\destination /MIR /FFT /R:3 /W:10
::/MIR option (equivalent to /E /PURGE) stands for "mirror" and is the most important option.
::It regards your source folder as the "master", causing it to overwrite any changes on the target side, which is a useful setting for a backup.
::/FFT is a very important option, as it allows a 2-second difference when comparing timestamps of files, such that minor clock differences between your computer and your backup device don't matter. This will ensure that only modified files are copied over, even if file modification times are not exactly synchronized.
::/R:3 specifies the number of retries, if the connection should fail, and /W:10 specifies a wait time of 10 seconds between retries. These are useful options when doing the backup over a network.
::/Z copies files in "restart mode", so partially copied files can be continued after an interruption.
