I use bzip2 a lot — it takes me more time to recall whether xz is uppercase J or is it Z 😂
XZ offers superior compression, but it's also significantly more resource-hungry — this isn't what I'd use on an old ARM machine with half a gig of RAM.
PSA for everyone on Mastodon: You don't need to use link shorteners. All links count as 23 characters, no matter what.
All a link shortener does is keep people from seeing where the link goes*. Many of us will refuse to boost posts with shortened links precisely because of this.
Please, just put the actual link in your post!
* And make your link become useless if the link shortening service ever goes away for any reason.)

An invaluable feature! I wish there was an extension to open YouTube links with it directly from Firefox so you could use the website just as a catalogue. I think there was one, but as it had the part that had to run as a service right on your machine and the extension could communicate with it, it wasn't really cross-platform.
@koteisaev now i know what GUID stands for

I don't remember experiencing these insane leaks for quite some time already and AutoTabDiscard usually helps freeing lots of RAM, no need for a complete restart.
@OmegaPolice
…it uses just about half a gigabyte of real RAM (resident, virtual memory allocated is still above 4 Gb of course) — as you can see, it's very modest, Thunderbird consumes more even when idle, and software based on webkit-gtk can consume about 2 Gb easily just after opening a couple of pages. I'm using Firefox in Void Linux and I stopped updating it at FF124 — could also be the reason why it's different here.
@OmegaPolice
Yes, it uses tab unloading, it just gives you more customisation and fine-grained control over it. I have to admit, I don't open many "heavy" website — could be the real reason I never experience these leaks, but the machine I'm typing this on is decade-old laptop with only 16 gigs of RAM, it has an uptime of over a month, I'm not certain that Firefox kept running the entire time though, but it currently has about two dozens of open tabs, most of which are unloaded and…

> Maybe, just maybe, improve Rust instead of complaining about Linux
Catering to the people never helps either, the problem described in the opening post isn't about Rust, it's about interfaces *already implemented in the kernel* — Linux maintainers are reluctant to change them, even if you offer them the option of changing the language to their needs, they will just keep making those up as an excuse to not use it, the problem isn't Rust 🤷

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
