I had actually effectively nuked my Linux log files permanently on my first Ubuntu install back in 2011. I did that by mapping all the log files to ramfs on startup, and clearing all the logs still on storage to zero bytes.

I didn’t do that out of any paranoia or anything, I did that because I had Linux fully installed on a mere 4GB USB flash drive, so I wanted to eliminate as many unnecessary write cycles as I could possibly manage.

I also set the temp folder and internet cache to ramfs, much improved performance over the typical setup on a USB2 flash drive.

When I’m almost certain it’s a scammer calling, I’ll answer as professionally as I can as if I’m running a business…

“Thank you for calling Ding Dong Double Dildos and Dirty Devices! How would you like to fuck yourself today?”

They usually just hang up and remove the number from the call list LMFAO! 😂🤣

I actually did this for my mom one day, scammers had been calling her left and right. She found it quite hilarious too, and by the next day, more than half the scammers quit calling 👍

Edit: Merry Christmas! This is how you fuck the scammers…

Nah, they mailed all their customers, informing everyone that once they finished upgrading their infrastructure, that they would triple every customers’ internet speed for no extra charge.

Then, as everyone waited in hope, within like 6 months they renamed to /Sparklight, and that 100Mbps > 300Mbps upgrade they promised disappeared like a fart in the wind, plus /Sparklight ended up eventually increasing customer bills anyways, without any performance increase.

Honestly I think that’s exactly why they renamed, just because they wanted to back out of that promise, but didn’t actually have the fine print to legally back out.

Cable One renamed themselves to /Sparklight, basically to get out of the Cable One promise that they were supposed to triple everyone’s internet speed for no extra charge once they upgraded all their lines and equipment.

When companies rename themselves, they’re basically legally relieved of any prior promises, obligations, or class action lawsuits made/filed under the old company name.

Companies that change their names usually do so to avoid class action lawsuits and/or to get out of obligations they previously made with their customers.

Edit: I probably should have posted that as a top level comment, but oh well, I’m leaving it here.

I dunno, exploding golf ball maybe?

Disclaimer: Nope, I’m not gonna do that, nor am I making any serious suggestions.

If the compressed files are of the same/similar format, more compression is possible as the algorithm can detect more related patterns to compress.

But if you toss in a variety of file formats, compression will tend to suffer more.

Sometimes, the easiest way is just to try and see, different formats lend themselves to better or worse compression.

The files that tend to be worst at compression are the ones that are already compressed themselves.

The activation key is…

You can thank me later.

It doesn’t bother me a bit, but it also largely depends on wallet design and pants design. Over the years I’ve figured out an ideal balance for all my pockets…

For reference, I’m now 43 years old.

Around 20 years ago, around age 23, I decided to keep my wallet in my right front pocket, 24/7, save for bathing and clothes changing. Yes I do sleep with my wallet in pocket, it never leaves my vicinity.

I keep my wallet where it can’t easily be stolen, right next to the family jewels ya know…

You didn’t even declare the hardware specs…

Regardless, Mint…

Try this…

• Force stop the YouTube app
• In the YouTube app storage settings, clear the cache and storage

The YT app, even not logged in, stores your data locally…

I’m no expert here, but I think your problem starts when you said “I open YouTube”

Whether you’re logged into Google or not, the YouTube app still tracks your video watch preferences and such. Try Grayjay instead…

Wow, I’ve been running Linux for 14 years already?

Yeah, it’s Penguin time! 🐧

The entire wall mounted book shelf and all the books fell off the wall and landed on the last two rows of students in 2nd grade.

Thankfully I wasn’t sitting in the back of the class. Also, thankfully there were no serious injuries (that I can recall anyways).

Thank you, I’ll be here all week…

Maybe…

Zombies are so dumb, they don’t even know where the brains are, they always go after the abdomen.

If you can’t defeat a slow moving undead creature with fewer active brain cells than Donald Turnip, then that’s on you…

Last I checked, hospitals around my area still use dot matrix printers, mainly because of carbon copy papers…

I’m more or less with you, I need a blanket. For slightly different reasons though.

I have to feel some sort of texture when I sleep, otherwise I get bad dreams of falling from high places if I’m sleeping on/under silky smooth surfaces.
