Firefox is my tab-hoarding enabler 😍

Does it kill Firefox if it tries to go over the limit? I think I tried this once and if there is a memory leak it just closes itself (which is batter than hogging the whole system, bit still)

I’d like to use Rethink DNS (forcefully set to DNS+Firewall) because it keeps a record on-device of the connections that apps tried to establish. So as I understand it’s not possible to have both then?

Do you also have “Block connections without VPN” on like this?

Yes, I believe the issue comes from that(edit: tried disabling it and it was indeed that), ideally one would keep that setting on, I guess there’s no internal Android setting to exclude on an app by app basis unfortunately

Good luck! It can get complicated so I know how you feel looking at weird configurations that do magic

Thanks! Will have to come back to this

Those 2 might very well cause issues sometimes, you should try and fiddle around with their settings on the websites that complain, or outright whitelist them if nothing works and you want to use them, other times it really is the browser or even more often an artificial check of the user agent string (dick move on the dev’s side), so if you spoof a Chromium browser it’ll start working right away

But what if my God is a robot?

Real, happened too many times to me. What’s that about configuring the OOM, can you give it priorities?

Based, too bad it’s not as easy to find jobs to feed the family (me) with better languages usually simply by virtue of them being newer and having less adoption

fine kina*

Tell me about it, when the roles are reversed and nor the manager ex-dev nor the older dev care about good programming practices it’s a far west where the junior desperately tries to become the dictator of a ruleless country

Putting one directly under the home directory feels like a psychopathic move, so I stay by XDG and put them under a subdirectory of xdg-documents

Me waiting for tagging filesystems to become the standard

Don’t worry, the basics are really easy to git get down, you can read any beginner guide to start trying it out, for example this one on baeldung seems pretty alright by a quick skim, or, if you prefer a more playful approach, definitely check out ohmygit.
If you want to try a git hoster as well, make a GitHub profile if you want to go where most everyone is, so you can also easily contribute to others’ projects, otherwise, if you care about staying on a free platform, make an account on Codeberg, fewer people, but all great like-minded free software supporters

…or make one on both, ngl

Most? Are you sure you didn’t install some extensions that break your browsing?

Lol understandable. Some days I am glad that I dysfunction

and there’s a weird sex joke in here I’m afraid to touch
edit: there’s a programming joke that instead I would like to touch

I cannot understate my satisfaction that you don’t need any /s to see my jokes (probably because I’m terrible at recognizing them myself), thank you <3

oh my goodness, I feel so heard right now, that’s exactly as I always felt, I’m glad I’m not the only human obsessing over these things (well, not meaning that I enjoy your struggle lol).

I also don’t want to be too personally identifiable

I think you could do like some other accounts I’ve seen doing, merging their name and surname in some peculiar way, I did the same, but just for having a sort of unique, easy to use handle, I still keep my actual git username as my real one because I want to be identified with it. You on the other hand could do that and also use the same nickname as the git username. Another system I’ve always liked is to use this neat page on Perchance that generates an adjective-animal couple and they are so convenient for making up random names.
If you go all out and keep one identity and in the clear too, big respect, I don’t do it because I never want to end up in a moment where I wonder “what I’m going to do is a bit in a gray area of acceptable, should I make a new account for this?” as that’s going to break all the continuity that is useful to stay connected with the community. When sioling the two identities, I can do everything with much more peace of mind.

I laughed at “adult friendly” but that’s seriously apt.

Very happy that the humor came across 😆
And seeing how exotic/esoteric nix looks to older people, yes apt is way more adult friendly than nix
