Not in my experience. With 4 GB ram, Chrome will happily give ~2GB to any tab that requests it in a couple of seconds, leaving me with an unresponsive Windows aggressively paging memory to disk, only to give whatever it…
Funny thing, most if not all 'client-side failover' strategies you might find through google or the likes won't work either. This is because the loaded resource will 'fail' anywhere between x seconds up to minutes, or…
This is actually not just about Tor. Their definition of "suspicious" is quite liberal and naive to be honest. As an anecdote, I get ~1 captcha per month because I live in Eastern Europe. Add to that Linux, Firefox,…
I believe it's wrong to say that users don't care. Rather, users, don't really have a choice. From personal experience, linux is still far from actually being user-friendly. And it's easy for me to compare: 1) I haven't…
At least for me the change log is one of the first items I read when looking to try new software. It often tells quite a lot about how involved the developers are, what direction the project is heading to, or how mature…
I would like to see more control options for the end users. Let users chose if their account can be recovered through a password reset form, let users leave 'secret memos' for support which can't be viewed on the site…
If history serves right, I upgraded to Windows 7 around 2-3 years after it was released, and I still had occasional blue screens or hiccups. About one year later it finally started calming down. Now, in 2016, I could…
In my case, I want a stable OS. Also there's a high chance the Windows 10 video driver for my 4 year old Dell laptop is broken, just like the last 3 versions Dell released for Win7. Only the first one from 2012 has no…
From personal experience, yes. I've got an older dell laptop that came with Ubuntu 12, bought in 2013. I assume everything worked back then, but I needed Windows for school. Some months ago, wanting to switch, tried…
I find it infuriating how much traction this whole anti ad/tracking war is getting. People mention there's no choice anymore. Wrong! It's still there, just like it was 10 or 15 years ago. Stop sharing your personal…
Anybody else getting a 'Forbidden' error? Tried some isitdown services, they told me the site returns 200... I'm getting a 403 response. First it was cloudflare with their captchas because I'm lucky enough to be born in…
> This isn't how the internet is supposed to work. As we continue to consolidate on a few big mail services, it's only going to become more difficult to start new servers. And this is exactly the reason I setup my own…
Sorry I'm dying here... I opened the site, saw two identical boxes of text with some ascii in the middle, read the first paragraphs.. then scrolled down and saw some license thrown in there... Almost got too happy…
It's baffling for me that designers/coders don't realize that desktop and laptop display panels are probably the first thing a manufacturer will look at when it comes to cutting some corners and lowering the overall…
From the perspective of a user who isn't really experienced in running servers: * I think they're called snapshots. Let me setup my VPS the way I want it, upload my stuff, etc, then let me backup/save my entire VPS on…
What's wrong with the desktop version? It works great on my 320x480 screen in landscape. The only thing that would make sense would be to limit the viewport width, other than that I don't see anything wrong.
Although what you say is a perfectly valid argument, it's not even close to what is happening now. For somebody who also lives in a country that is heavily influenced by Russia, it is clear that this is actually a…
