Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    EarlyOOM is your friend. Tweak it to save the most important stuff and kill irrelevant stuff first when low on memory.

    Why can't browsers discard tabs to disk instead of this ridiculous assumption that the server will still exist to redownload the tab content rom.

    [–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago

    Autodiscard. Its a plugin i use that helps most of the time.

    Well... though there are reasons to save pages to disk, the server being still up is a fair assumption, really.

    It isn't on a mobile device where you might go out of wifi or cellular coverage. But it's probably a good thing as I don't want my tab habit wearing out my disk

    When people have hundreds of tabs open i get it.
