## nocache

Tue Oct 11, 2016 3:13 am

Does anyone have any experience with the package nocache?
or eatmydata.
I only care for it regarding firefox.

you might consider visiting firefox about:config UI and setting:
browser.cache.disk.parent_directory = /tmp/happyfox
and / or
browser.cache.disk.enable = False
To prevent the browser's incessant disk access, either of the above (or both) work well for me on a system w/ 2Gb RAM, and sysctl swappiness=1

Thanks.
I am not sure, if it does the same like nocache or eatmydata does.

Something sure needs to be done about firefox, performance these days is just abysmal, it freezes up for several seconds at a time repeatedly, and from just opening new tabs or links. I gave up and removed it from everything I use, Chromium works a ton better.

half the people at mozilla could jump off a f***ing building and help it a heck of a lot. im not even kidding, in case anyone thinks i might be kidding. it would probably take half of them doing that just to pull the browser out of the mess its in. and it has to be the right half, thats the tricky part.
i only use it because palemoon might not be different enough, and if we really NEED google just to access webpages on a daily basis, we might as well go back to painting on cave walls.
i play with other webkit-based browsers, but weve broken the web as badly as ever-- an entire operating system/application stack requires n resources, and the browser (without heavy customization to TURN OFF half the webs features) doubles that or worse. its obscene and laughable, and so is mozilla-- and googles still worse. as for "standards" and feature creep, why ISNT whatwg or the w3c developing a helpful paperclip as a web standard? we have all the other bullsh** already.
im waiting for ff and chrome to be rebranded according to our election in the us-- the choice is worthless, and the shoe fits.

w3c is a consortium comprised of (and funded by) pay-to-play corporate minions. "Tizen" -- another consortium.
Pre-equipped in your 2017 Chevrolet, you'll get BluRaY and Tizen and systemd and webRTC
...and the vehicle will refuse to start if you cover the webcams or disconnect the microphones, but that's another topic.

I used to tell anyone who would listen way back in the day when onstar first came out that the people on the other end didn't need your permission or you to push a button to turn on that microphone and listen to you....people laughed and called me a tin-foiler....until it came out that I was right all along and then they lined up begging me to get that crap out of their car.....
