Auto kill memory leaking processes before swap death loop
I’m using linux mint 21.3, and a process (brave aka chrome) sometimes memory leaking, so eats all the RAM, and then linux goes into swap death loop, when everything freezes (sometimes the mouse cursor is moving), and nothing can’t be done, i can just see the HDD led blinking, and do a reset. Is there a way to make the system...
Why do cameras call it "Macro Lens" if it zooms in and is used to capture tiny objects? Shouldn't it be "Micro Lens"?
Does anyone know if theres a way to use 3rd party keyboards on the front screen of the 2023 Motorola Razr?
I use heliboard for my keyboard and quite enjoy it but on the 2023 RAZR+ it only allows Gboard to be used on the outer display. No other keyboard will fail to crash on the front screen....
How should I link to music so that anyone can open it?
I want to post about the songs that I am listening to, but in a way that everyone can open it regardless of what they are using. Is there a good way to do that? A website that generates links for the popular streaming platforms?

Windows Shares Inaccessible after Network Reconfiguration
I recently encountered an error with my router that required a factory reset in order to fix. I figured since I was already resetting everything, I’d might as well reorganize my network. I switched from 192 to 10 based IPs. I got all my devices configured and everything connects to the internet fine, no hiccups anywhere,...
Alternatives to Hoppy Network
Does anyone know of any alternatives to hoppy.network? I can’t seem to find any other services that do what Hoppy does. (Hoppy uses wireguard to assign publicly-accessible static IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to devices)
Does wb get any money from sales of adult swim published games on steam?
I have an urge to buy some of them on steam before they get delisted but don’t want to give any money to wb in the process. The way that apparently devs could just leave or sell/give away the game on other platforms made me think maybe wb doesn’t get a cut of every sale. Does anyone know that for certain?
Cheap, but reliable SSDs?

What's the most expensive thing you broke as a kid and what's the story behind it?
Mine was our CRT TV. I would rapidly push the power button on and off because I thought the picture coming and going looked cool but eventually it fell inside of the TV. I think I later stuck a magnet on the TV....

About to try the Outer Worlds
I’ve been very busy with work the last few months so I haven’t really played any games, but things are finally starting to get back to normal a bit and I wanted to try this RPG. I played it a bit when it came out but decided to really dive into it this time. Just wondering if there’s anyone here who’s played it and has...
Modern alternatives to FreeIPA

Debian Server keeps failing install Abkhazian
ThSince last Sunday, I’ve been trying to install Debian 12 as a server OS on a Dell XPS 8900. I’ve seemingly been so close and yet so far. I’ve gotten 2 errors repeatly. One is one I can’t avoid, the other one I can....
Best "convertible" or 2-in-1 device to run Linux on?
The last device I own that doesn’t run an open source operating system is an iPad. I basically use it as a laptop most of the time with a keyboard case, but I do like being able to take just the screen to use as a drawing/note-taking tablet. I treat it more like a “convertible” device rather than a tablet alone....

If TikTok in the US is spun off as a separate entity, how hard would it be for the current company to put in a back door to still access the data.
