I would like to disable my swap too. How much RAM do you have?
replied 2327d
I have 32b right now, but the first machine I successfully got rid of swap on had 8gb.

i have 8gb and can't live without swap. i effectively use more ram than I have, so I think i should get more instead of killing my ssd. 32gb must be really awesome!
replied 2326d
32gb is kinda nice. Bit surprised you use up all 8gb though, doing video/image editing or something?

I... I... I'm speechless.

My browser (falkon), uses ~130mb private memory, and ~160mb shared memory. WHERE is all the memory begin hogged? O.o

Quick test: opened up every webpage I could think of and now have 25+ tabs, several of which is playing video. Using 2.6gb of ram now.

Man, you really know how to work a browser :D

Wtf 🤣 how many tabs do you normally have open? 😅
replied 2326d
2-3, but in the morning news reading routine I have 12 for a brief period that I close after consuming the content.

I never close them :P so maybe I should try that instead of just buying more RAM and opening yet another tab. You said use Falkon- is there anything remarkably good about this browser?
replied 2325d
It's the continuation of the Qupzilla browser, uses the qtWebEngine so the rendering is on-par with Chrome, but it's privacy oriented. It is also very fast, but lacks debug tools :/

Do you know how it compares to Brave?
replied 2325d
Yes. Brave is bazed on the netscape/mozilla engine, both are fairly speedy and brave tried to solve the ad problem by incentivizing people to pay, rather than just filter the ads.

It does both. I think their bat token is a bad idea though. People aren't incentivised to do it.
replied 2325d
It does filter ads, even if you don't pay, but they don't see that as a sustainable solution. I agree BAT isn't cutting it, but BTC fees weren't compatible :)

Even if you used btc or bch, how do you incentivise users to pay?
replied 2324d
That's a difficult problem. I think MoneyButton does a better job at it than Brave, as Brave focuse on publishers rather than users.

replied 2324d
Agree. Though I think Moneybutton would be better if it could display a QR code as a fallback. It's burdensome to have an extra seed to store just to use MoneyButton.

Isn't it a bit like a 2nd layer similar to LN?
replied 2324d
*correct*

it was "just a jab at LN"

And it's based on chromium, not Mozilla
replied 2325d
... it is? Wow, did not expect that.

Then the only real difference between brave and falkon would be that falkon values your privacy and brave values content providers income as well.

Yes. I think Falkon does also support Wayland and Brave does not.
