Is it a stretch to consider the possibility that our extinction is near?

We need to make it popular against all corporate forces like meta, X, bluesky etc. By creating more content and interacting with it more.

This winter we will keep our fellow Linux users warm no matter the cost..

So anything but reducing carbon emissions which are the root cause.

The way the founder replied coldly and closed the GitHub issue is pretty telling. Now they're doing damage control.

It's usually better to stay away from VC funded software. They exist for the sole purpose of turning a rich guy's million dollars into 100.

When I realised I can't go crying to my parents anymore and started crying into my pillow instead.

Cars. Need I say more?

In that case you can try cromite for Android. It's a decent private and ad blocking browser based on chromium.

Okay. I have purged Google chrome from my devices long ago.

Hi buddy 👋🏾 Same here mostly. I have given up on expecting anything out of life. I moved to a tribal village and am enjoying my remaining days there in nature.

Because modern web is bloatware. Too much javascript, CSS, ads and cookie popups. A phone's hardware and internet speeds are generally not as fast as a desktop. So, it takes much longer to render on a phone.

Also, a lot websites nowadays deliberately make their mobile web experience shitty (cough ** reddit cough) to force their users to install their app.

Zram is basically a compressed swap device located in your ram. You can check the usage by running zramctl.

I would recommend setting mem_limit to 10 GB or disk_size to 40GB and algorithm to lz4.

Zram usually has a very high compression ratio - around 4:1 for lz4 and 6:1 for zstd. You can set zram to 40-50 GB. It will still use less than 1/2 of your ram.

Zram has an option to write poorly compressible data to the disk instead of storing it in the ram. I would split the swap partition - 3 GB for zram writeback and rest for ordinary swap.

I was using flakes. I gave the reason why it's data intensive. If a core dependency like glibc is updated, it's hash will change and all packages that depend on it need to be rebuilt and rehashed. It'll download all packages again even though there's minimal change.

Interesting! Any reason for this choice instead of doing everything through nix?

That's quite convincing :) I've been meaning to try gentoo for many years actually. I'll install it soon and report back!

Yep. I used the Xfce iso.

Thank you that makes sense. When I get my hands on a more powerful machine and have less data constraints, I'll try Nixos again. I do miss it sometimes 😆
