Go ahead. Guess.
Leaving firefox tabs open like RAM is free
I have coworkers who do this, then they joke about it and laugh together on zoom calls while their audio/video/screen sharing abilities degrade and crap out one by one.
“I have 143 tabs open, I’m so terrible! Hahahahahahahaha!”
“It’s not funny, Susan, you’ve derailed the entire meeting.”
Every so many months I’ll “Share all tabs” on my Android Firefox to a text editor with no file size limit (which can take a few minutes just for that), save the file, close all tabs to wipe the slate clean, and never open the file I saved again.
It’s like I’m prepping for the day I win the lottery, and suddenly have as much time for this stuff as I did when I was a kid. But even were that to happen, I’d still have more responsibilities taking up my time than kid me ever did. sigh
Most of those links will be dead by the time you get back to them
But it’s impossible to know which, and then there are those that won’t be dead yet. For anything I really think is valuable, I use an extension that saves the page to a self-contained HTML file with all the resources packed in.
Besides, we both know I’ll likely never get back to those links…
It’s ok you can just download more RAM
300+ tabs and 100+ screenshots awaiting judgement day
Leave me and my years-old bookmarks alone!
I have a bucket setup with my web host and then I use the Dropshare app to upload them. If I come across a meme or video I like, I fling it on there and it copies the URL to my clipboard. Now I have a place to store them that doesn’t require maintaining a local collection.
How do you organize those screenshots?
I don’t have a good solution for this problem. (4600 screenshots are awaiting to be sorted…)
Literally where I am right now, following a half dozen personal productivity bankruptcies (admittedly during a pretty insane time personally). Anyone have any suggestions pretty please? 🙏😓
The everlasting desire to have my own web archive being combatted the the knowledge of just how bad an idea it would be only just keeping it at bay.
I low key feel attacked by this.
