640K 128GB should be enough for anyone.

Chromium is a poisoned branch of web browsers.

 

[Merton J. Dingle]

Best browser extension that I ever installed besides uBlock was OneTab. It serves the same purpose as keeping many tabs open at once: keeping a list of pages you want to revisit but can't justify favoriting. The difference of course is that it is literally just a list of hyperlinks in a very small tab that sits to the left of your regular tabs, so it saves a lot on RAM usage.

Open request for good music randomizer plugins for VLC (yes I listen to music on VLC, h8rs) or MediaMonkey. Or just a good audio player with God-tier randomization or plugin. WinAmp maybe?

No matter what platform I use, the 'randomization' is always shit. With a list of say 1,000 songs, I'll hear the same ones day in and day out while favourites languish in their folders, unplayed. I don't understand why it's hard to get right. Just take the time of day down to the micro-second as a seed number for randomization, and have a buffer memory to not replay things that have been aired within a week, and don't let a fresh hit on the shuffle button wipe the buffer. I'm no programmer, but I feel like an AI could figure this out without sweating bits or bytes.

Anyhow, there's no way I'm the only one with this gripe. Help saaaarrs.

Hello saar, thanks you kindly for your assistance request, your consideration means very much to us.
Please go ahead and click the blue button on this image, the very one on the right

Not the image itself, the VLC application on your desktop computar, saar. Yes.
This is step one of the randomizacion enabling process. Step 2 is to bash your heard against desktop whenever a song fails to properly randomise, while being careful to only hit the desktop itself, careful to avoid hitting any desktop computer peripherals.
And that's our process! From now on every thong will feel new and refreshful, as long as you repeat step 2 as much as necessary.
It's my great pleasure to been able to help you, please rate service five star.

Brave just fucking OOM'd my entire desktop (64GiB) so I'm back on LibreWolf.

I had the same issue, but I switched to Vivaldi. The fact that they have a free built-in vpn is really nice.

Let me guess. You had 345452 tabs opened.

But yea, I did notice that Brave is becoming pretty RAM hungry lately.

It doesn't even seem to matter how much ram you have or how many tabs you have open; brave just sucks at memory management. My desktop also has 64gb.

If you take the potteringD then you can use the application's scope to limit how much memory it can allocate. You can do the same with jails too

For systemd, run systemctl --user | grep brave and ignore the process id to get the right unit name. The man page for systemd.resource-control shows you all the dials you can control.

If you don't have brave installed through flatpak, you'll need to start it using systemd-run as you would with firejail.

MPV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> VLC

Absolute TRVTH NUKE. Love the minimal UI, VLC is just clunky in comparison. Great for typesetting too since you can hot-reload subtitle files with a keybind.

If you're looking for a better way to manage your configuration files, I'd suggest looking into Apple's Jsonnet alternative: Pkl. It's still missing some quality-of-life stuff but I've found it pretty comfy for standardising all my configurations into a single format instead of having a bunch of yaml, hcl, conf, ini, and plist files to individually manage.

I don't know what any of that means, but the issue is not that Brave is using too much memory, it's that it sucks at managing the memory that it allocates to itself. When I got the OOM error, I still had 32gb of memory free.

I was thinking of switching over to Manjaro sometime, but for now the iot ltsc version of windows 11 works just fine for me.

Regardless, I've switched off Brave to Vivaldi anyway, and I like Vivaldi better.

You could have an entire terabyte of ram and it wouldn't fix this issue. It's not something you can brute force.

Having almost infinite resources has made programming and digital design very boring.

If I had my way every programmer would be forced to start programming on systems with significantly constrained resources. Microcontrollers maybe or at least a tiny VM that doesn't have infinite ram and storage.


64KB was a mistake.

How is the error being displayed? If it's an Aw, Snap! error page within chromiumbrave then that's likely the fault of whatever runtime environment you're using. Were you using brave as a flatpak or snap?

In one of classes in college I had to do just that, but I forget exactly what model it was. Assembly was a bitch lol

I'd say a Raspberry Pi or any other low-power ARM system is ideal for this. Learning the ropes on a weaker system 100% leads to cleaner, more efficient code & a better work ethic.

While I agree with your choice, that's only available for for Winiggers. Us Linuxfags have these two:



VLC has an honourable mention, but giving it plugins is an atrocious process, and it can get fucky with JACK.

What the hell are you talking about? It's this page.

The problem is how brave/chromium is managing it's memory, it has nothing to do with my config. I did not ask for, nor need your help.

 

[One Angry Computer]

Out of memory?! My brother of the fields, close some tabs and free up some RAM. Your computer begs of you.

Chromium is a memory black hole, I don't know why it is, perhaps it's how it addresses resources? Or is something more nefarious at play?

 

[Jotch]

Or is something more nefarious at play?

The code smells faintly of poo that never did quite make it to the loo. When a library smells only faintly of poo, a large program like a web engine which calls it hundreds of thousands of time per second will amplify that smell by quite a bit.
