I personally prefer to restore the home data (bookmarks, emails...) in a functional, declarative manner (for now via scripts, later maybe via Shepherd user services if I find time / money to work on this). It's more work, but if we get user services we could factor this work so that everyone benefits from it. =2D-=20 Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAl2cPkkACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH/kZwf/VhMr4bceW7wYST912dVAx73a3L57mGiciQmjJpisueUOOtnOvMNG52a1 XY+9CLcTL/MiVn+ln+o59mw5el2Lkepi3MzxnQeHKghB1NGoOSGAxL4sE+xvcxnv dxovzzsVt+LAvuzjnRrRdY2SXCHwnSqoo5aNcw+iHssOxSutLSzwj2I3goXGmSTT prtp+KhCh0QnheNhmSIACtvNKL7RjLkXCzE68bNN5Ynvm0KV5nnOwDCrEfOK6hbp ce9uznQmZLQa/aD4APe95BgFPX8Q8mwd+T9DmbHn2P8lC4jUv3WcDpSbDWijg42I JkjDst6qzIFqaa4rbILZHM8TcsaLRQ== =p5nh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
