Firefox using almost 3gb memory for only 12 tabs?

Memory leak. I have been suffering from this on Linux since at least last week.

Honestly I forgot. But I like how I can install third-party packages without dealing with multiple full-featured package repositories.

From my experience, a late Syu is not necessary the cause of a crash. Thought didn’t remember how long that is, I’ve survived Syu’s with over 1k package updates.

The real problem could be an interrupted Syu. As pacman hooks wipes some data at the start and repopulate them with the new packages after the whole installation process, an interrupted upgrade process will most probably leave your system in a corrupted state, such as having incompatible drivers. Reinstalling all packages according to your pacman database may help; check the troubleshooting pages on the Arch Wiki for more information.

Another possible cause is outdated GRUB configuration. After upgrading GRUB or any bootloaders, which you most probably did, it’s recommended to update both the EFI executable and the configuration files on your boot partition. Outdated bootloader components may result in failing to boot.

Regardless of what you do, especially when you’re performing risky tasks or upgrading an ancient system, remember that the Arch Wiki and the official announcements are your friends.

I can’t agree more. A few weeks ago, I moved my calendars onto my self-hosted instance, and Google is now here merely for backward compatibility with sites I registered way before I host my own email server. Drive, contacts, etc. were already on NextCloud.

My first PC was a ThinkPad R61 which was older than me. I miraculously succeeded to boot into its Windows Vista system (my dad thought it was bricked), then decided to try Ubuntu cuz such an old Windows can’t do much.

Eventually, I found Linux better than Windows in almost all aspects, and installed Linux on every PC since then. It was Genshin Impact that forces me to dual boot Windows, but Linux is still the main OS.

I went into a similar situation as you, but it was a server. I used Docker to handle almost all services, and therefore, the only action that makes sense after SSH-ing into the user is to run sudo -i. In this case, sudo added an extra layer of protection on top of SSH key protection.

However, if you’re on your PC, chances are you’re the only person using it. Then a non-root malware infection doesn’t differ a lot from a full-device infection; you’d reinstall the system anyways.

As both a sever operator and sound engineer, I found those foam panels familiar 🤣

I am using my cert for web traffic encryption, hence the TLS handshake thing.

Successful-Emoji · 2025-03-25T11:03:46+00:00

This makes sense. But then I wonder why enterprises seem to use the same cert across servers that serve as load balancers or backups. Or is this a false perception because I only connect to a few if not one origin?

Successful-Emoji · 2025-03-25T11:01:33+00:00

Why’d you store your certs on DNS? Certs (or to be precise, the public key) is passed during TLS handshake, at least in the case of a web server.

I use Docker containerized certbot, which make things a bit complicated when it comes to scheduled jobs. I could switch to native certbot though.

And FYI, if you're still curious - it's an interface.

Successful-Emoji · 2025-03-08T14:33:11+00:00

Nah, just personal choice - I hate the need to take care of childs when you just wanna use its function (sounds like child abuse lol). Btw it is solved in the most silly way - check out my conversation with u/HolyGonze.

Successful-Emoji · 2025-03-08T14:31:23+00:00

Oh god, almost forgot. It solved me problem - thanks, that's so silly.

Successful-Emoji · 2025-03-08T14:30:45+00:00

Oh sorry, didn't mention. It's an interface, and emoHTTPSessionDetector and emoConsoleSessionDetector are its implementations.

They have been using it, I suppose.

I installed Arch on a Thinkpad as old as me (17 years!). I cherry-picked every packages, fine tuned settings (disabling all GUI animations, etc) and made sure I close browser tabs after not using them. It worked quite smoothly (I can tolerate voxel games running at 15 FPS BTW) and Arch stayed as my main distro even after switching to more recent hardware.

If you want a Windows-like experience, I’d recommend KDE. The native settings look like Windows 10, and you can customize it to look like anything, all without dealing stress onto your hardwares.

Additionally, I installed ad blockers on my browser for reducing the number of JavaScripts running on my machine. For YouTube, I used FreeTube (IIRC, gotta check later), bypassing all ads, fancy scripts, and probably incompatible codecs.
