Forget SD cards for Raspberry Pis - boot from an SSD in a USB enclosure, they have better longevity than SD cards.

Just noticed you mentioned Tesco. I use Tesco's own brand oat milk for breakfast cereal. Confusingly, they have normal and long-life UHT oat milk. Get it from the fridge section, rather than the UHT stuff from the non-chilled shelves.

Oatly is widely available, even in the little convenience shop round the corner from me.

However, FUCK Oatly: "Oatly sues UK oat milk maker over trademark" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57425162

Btw, Oatly lost.

Agreed, it's an amazing app, well worth the price for premium version.

On Raspberry Pi, a larger SD card helps spread out those writes. Alternatively, get a high endurance SD card which is made to handle more writes. Log2ram helps further by journaling logs in RAM then dumps them to your SD card once a day (or at configured interval)

Personally, I just boot my Pi from an SSD in a USB3 enclosure, with log2ram running - best of both worlds.

Eh? Genuinely interested to hear your sources for this.

Thanks wolf@lemmy.zip !

Thanks to your post and plenty of config tutorials, I've got this set up on my Oracle Free Tier VPS running Ubuntu. It has recently been struggling hard with 1GB ram, requiring reboot. The difference with zram enabled... WOW.

I haven't been able to get zram working on my Ubuntu VPS with another provider though - search results suggest that some providers don't allow swap.

Likewise...

What do you call a man swimming with no arms, no legs?

Clever dick.

In my experienc, using cloudflare tunnel, I don't even open 80/443. That's the beauty of the tunnel - no open ports (except 22 for ssh).

Yes, uBlock Origin add-on is available in Firefox Android: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/android/addon/ublock-origin/

Adblock Plus... I don't know!

In adblock plus, acceptable ads are on by default, but optional:

"Slightly worse?"... I haven't touched abp in years, so I couldn't say. However, here's a comparison:

In Firefox, install the uBlock Origin extension. Go into ublock settings, disable ad blocking filterlists, enable tracking filterlists. Personally, I'm blocking ads too as they're sometimes abused as malware vectors.

Or if you only want ads that aren't interfering, there's Adblock Plus with its acceptable ads programme. Can't vouch for whether that's a good or bad thing.
