  • Vivaldi is a beast when it comes to handling memory. It has features that I’ve never found in other browsers eg. workspaces (similar to tab grouping extensions like sideberry in Firefox) . It still supports ublock. It can sync.

    It is degoogled.

    I use it on all my machines and android devices.

    Another chromium based browser that I would HIGHLY recommended is Cromite - a fork of bromite. It is also recommended by the graphene OS team.

    It’s chrome, without google. Plus a ton of security and privacy additions and options. It doesn’t have any added productivity or other features besides those.

    It doesn’t have a sync feature, but exporting is a thing.

    It is great with memory, too.

    PS. I don’t have a computer or phone with more than 8GB ram.

    (Don’t worry guys, I also use my own user.js in ff, use tor, mullvad browser, etc.)









  • So, an atomic powered RAID array with SMART corruption correcting code attribute in a timed replacement sequence of a series of single platter, low RPM, drives, using ZFS?

    But apparently, using a simple archival quality DVD+R or Blu-ray would work. (Don’t forget to include the hardware so you have something that can read it in the future.)

    Apparently verbatim gold archive DVD+r has been rated for between 32 and 127 years with a minimum 18.

    Some Blu-ray from a few corps is rated at 50 years.

    Under ideal conditions.

    However, I’ll stick to my crystal skulls and their magic alien data storage.

    Sidenote: my few Linux machines are all running on HDDs that are each at least 10 years old. With additional internal and external 5" and external 2.5" drives that are just as old. My oldest is probably about 15.

    Thank the Linus for smartmontools and smartd/smartctl.



  • I call my Dr.

    I book an appointment. If urgent but not medically urgent to my immediate wellbeing I can get in in a week or so.

    If urgent, but not emergency, I can go to a clinic or the hospital non emergency (hospital can have wait times up to several hours)

    If emergency and severe or traumatic injury or life threatening - emergency at hospital. Triage assesses need. Last time I had to take someone it was maybe a 20 minute wait - they had been hurt pretty bad - got jumped.

    None of any of the above will cost me any money.

    An ambulance, though, costs like 75$ if it is not life threatening.

  • I got a pixel 9 for $240 CAD via carrier promotion in Canada.

    I held out getting a new phone as long as I could and they offered a new pixel 9 for $5 per month for 24 months

    Not to trade in after 24.

    It’s mine. For 5$ a month.

    When I received it I didn’t turn it on for a week.

    Read as much as I could to decide that Google would only ever see the single boot to enable developer mode and enable OEM unlock to flash graphenos.

    It seemed intimidating, but the process to install is very smooth.
