    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.

    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.









  • 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.
