Forget SD cards for Raspberry Pis - boot from an SSD in a USB enclosure, they have better longevity than SD cards.

I want to like OSM, but like you say, its weakness is search. I have to get the search just right, and make sure I enter the postcode as XXN NXX. And maybe then it might give me the right result.

However, in GM, I can mash the postcode together as XXNXX and it understands. Or if a mall has changed its name and I didn't know, GM gives me what I want, not what I said.

Agreed, it's an amazing app, well worth the price for premium version.

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 my experienc, using cloudflare tunnel, I don't even open 80/443. That's the beauty of the tunnel - no open ports (except 22 for ssh).

sudo install micro

It's like the nano text editor, but point and click.

The moment they copy some of the more useful Swype UX features, I'm jumping to gboard.

Because the family premium tier gets you and designated family ad free YouTube when using Chromecast, and YouTube Music. Worth it for me. We're all cheapskates here, just some of us are less cheap!
