Plus the FF extension is really full-featured. I can clip in different formats or even take a screenshot if the webpage makes clipping hard.
I didn't even know there was a Firefox extension! I might give it a look.

It's shit like this that makes it so hard to support unions.
The North American auto industry has failed miserably to produce vehicles people want, instead opting for high-cost monster trucks with low visibility and high fatality ratings. They deserve to be decimated by companies producing smaller, more efficient, and safer vehicles, but no. They'll have to pry these monster abominations from our cold dead nation instead.
Unions are proving time and again that they can't be trusted to be on the right side of critical issues like climate if it means some people might be out of a job that kills people.
I was a Windows user as a kid in the 80s & 90s doing pirate installs of 3.11 and later 95 for friends and family. I got into "computers" early and was pretty dedicated to the "Windows is the best!" camp from a young age. I had a friend who was a dedicated Mac user though, and she was bringing me around. The idea of a more-stable, virus-free desktop experience was pretty compelling.
That all changed when I went to school and had access to a proper "Mac lab" though. Those motherfuckers crashed multiple times an hour, and took the whole OS with them when they did it. What really got to me though was the little "DAAAAAAAAAAA!" noise it would make when you had to hard reboot it. It was as if it was celebrating its inadequacy and expected you to participate... every time it fucked you over and erased your work.
So yeah, Macs were out.
I hadn't even heard of Linux in 2000 when I first discovered the GPL, which (for some reason) I conflated with GNOME. I guess I thought that GNOME was a new OS based on what I could only describe as communist licensing. I loved the idea, but was intimidated by the "ix" in the name. "Ix" meant "Unix" to me, and Unix was using Pine to check email, so not a real computer as far as I was concerned.
It wasn't until 2000 that I joined a video game company called "Moshpit Entertainment" that I tried it. You see, the CEO, CTO, and majority of tech people at Moshpit were huge Linux nerds and they indoctrinated me into their cult. I started with SuSe (their favourite), then RedHat, then used Gentoo for 10 years before switching to Arch for another 10+.
TL;DR: Anticapitalism and FOSS cultists lead me into the light.
What exactly is an external drive case? Are you just talking about a USB enclosure for a single drive or something that can somehow hold multiple drives and interface over something more stable than USB?
Joplin will do this for you. It comes ready to sync with all sorts of cloud options, as well as "local folder" which works well with Syncthing. It's offline-first, cross-platform, and FOSS.
I agree 100% with this take and want to thank you for that excellent video! I'm not all the way through yet, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
...or contribute to Mozilla's work while getting something in return.
That's exactly the reasoning Google has followed with its development and promotion of webp. Unfortunately, whether the website cares or not, CO₂ emissions are markedly higher due to increased client energy consumption, and that does directly affect you, so it's worth considering the implications of using webp in a popular site.
Webp is pretty great actually. Supporting a 32bit alpha channel means I've actually managed to reduce file sizes of what were formerly PNGs by something like 80%, which drastically improved performance (and the size of my project). I don't get where the complaint of image quality came from either, as it seems to perform better than JPEG at the same file size.
The worst part is that you missed the real problem with the format: the CPU overhead (and therefore the energy cost) of handling the file. A high-traffic site can dramatically increase the energy required for the images processed by the thousands/millions of clients in a single day, which places a drain on the grid and emits more CO₂ (yes, this is really a thing that people measure now).
Basically Google invented the format to externalise their costs. Now, rather than footing the bill for bigger datacentres and greater bandwidth, they made everyone else pay for decompression.
That's pretty dark. I love it.
Oh we're passionate alright, in a "fuck that country in particular" fashion.
The bit of information you're missing is that
du
aggregates the size of all subfolders, so when you saydu /
, you're saying: "how much stuff is in / and everything under it?"If you're sticking with
du
, then you'll need to traverse your folders, working downward until you find the culprit folder:... and so on.
The trouble with this method however is that
*
won't include folders with a.
in front, which is often the culprit:.cache
,.local/share
, etc. For that, you can do:Which should do the job I think.
If you've got a GUI though, things get a lot easier 'cause you have access to GNOME Disk Usage Analyzer which will draw you a fancy tree graph of your filesystem state all the way down to the smallest folder. It's pretty handy.
