How do we stop browsers from killing our SSDs?

Turn off caching

Cache into RAM

>>60324872
This kills the ram

>>60324856
by not using mozilla

>>60324888
What are you. A RAMlet?
>>60324900
Yes, use chrome to cache everything to the cloud.

>>60324900
but chrome does it too

>>60324856
If all you do is browsing you'll only get close to wearing it down after 50 years of usage.

>>60324888
plus you get the cache empty and
irrecoverable every power off

>>60324856
>>60324916
Disable it. It's trivial on both of them.

Browser cache to spinning HDD.

>>60324952
can it be done?

>>60324960
Yes. Just as easy as disabling it completely.

>>60324952
or magentic tape

>>60324970
cache it into a floppy just for the lol

PO box or home address?

Only use ssd for OS. Install the browser ON HDD

Goddamn...
I'm no expert. I'm actually rather stupid, to be honest, oniifam. But, some of you simply don't fucking belong here at all.

>>60324872
This, it's not like it changes much since browsers use so much fucking RAM nowadays.

>>60324856
lern2 tmpfs dumb feelposter

>>60324969
>>60325042
actually yes, It would be a better idea to move the whole user folder to the HDD, I think I'll do that instead.
Too many programs abuse the user folder

>>60325068
Actually it doesn't fucking matter at all and defeats the whole point of getting an SSD.

>>60325079
no it doesn't, I didn't ask for that shit to be installed there and to constantly dump its crap in there either.
If I want something to run off of the SSD I'll specifically install it there

>>60325097
>getting an SSD
>not using it
The dumbest post of the day award.

>>60324888
It doesn't

>>60325373
I know. I was joking

>>60325117
shut the fuck up, I want my ssd to last at least 95 years

Why do people worry about their SSDs? I have nothing but a 480gb SSD on my computer and it seems to last a fucking lifetime.

They cost absolutely fucking nothing nowadays and seem to last forever. Who the fuck cares if one dies, just get a new one. You do that for most technology anyways.

>>60326632
if i'm paying for a fast drive i'd rather put things i actually need to run fast on it than fucking browser cache that takes up needless space

>>60326725
> use computer 8 hrs / day / erryday
> entire appdata\roaming\mozilla folder is 360mb

If you retards knew the write volume your phones do every time an app gets evicted from RAM, you'd be in a corner babbling senselessly.

>>60326725
I put everything there and everything runs fast. Why even use HDDs anymore unless you need a shit ton of data.

Most of /g/ is more concerned about their SSD wearing out than themselves aging in the process of worrying over their SSD and eventually dying themselves.

Nothing lasts forever you idiots.

I actually sucked 4 different dicks to be able afford pic related, I don't want to ever have to do that again (one was uncut and the worst) so sorry if I want to get as much fucking life out of my SSD as possible, not everyone like you doesn't mind sucking so many dicks because your SSD suffers great wear and tear.

>>60324856
by buying post-2012 ssd, nothing more.
Stop worrying about useless shit like that

>>60324856
Mount tmpfs into /tmp, change $XDG_CACHE_HOME to /tmp/<user>/.cache and if you're afraid of running out of ram, get a few GB swap partition. Programs have priority to tmpfs, so you don't have to worry about shit slowing down. You can even use the SSD for fast swap, it's probably gonna get used rarely anyway.

>>60326994
You should learn to enjoy sucking dicks

>>60327033
I'm fine with texture, it's the taste that's the issue.

>>60327049
You should get them to wash their dicks before sucking them.

I don't know what killed my SSD, but I sure as hell know I have not written 22TB to my SSD in its 8 months of power-on time.

Media Wearout Indicator is at 42% (I know it's not accurate, but it's still a useful number).
I just today put all the measures in place that would stop Chromium from raping my drive (cache in tmpfs, profile-sync-daemon), but is it worth it at this point?
I still have 3 out of 5 years of warranty left, I should probably let the drive keep getting raped and just get a replacement when it dies in a year or two (it's been at 55% in January).

>>60326632
>they cost absolutely fucking nothing nowadays
No, they cost 30% more than 6 months ago. The time for buying SSDs has past.

>>60324856
>muh dying ssds
i've been using a single adata ssd for my os and all my programs since 2011 and its still running like a charm.

>>60327382
1.3 * fucking nothing = still fucking nothing

>>60327399
this

>>60327455
100000000 * fucking nothing = still fucking nothing XDDDD
Fuck off consumerist sheep. Not everyone enjoys being cucked by jews.

>>60326725
You do know what caches are used for, right?
Right?

>>60327399
>>60327455
>werks for me :^)
not an argument, go back to your fucking forums

>>60327476
the cache and session keeping worked fine on an hdd so there's no reason why I shouldn't move it back there

>>60324949
pls no ableism pls k thx :-)

will this meme ever die?

>>60324940
>power off
What

>>60327668
It's not a meme though, TBW limits is a real thing as stated on the manufactures websites of SSDs.

>>60324856
just put the browser cache on the HDD as I always did

>>60324872
this is also fine, RAM isn't nearly as wearable as SSDs are. It may as well be less wearable than HDDs as everything we use from there passes by the RAM several times.

It's also true that modern SSDs aren't nearly as wearable as the first ones were, so we don't have to worry that much, but if you have an HDD to put your cache on, it's a good idea to do so.

>>60324856

Kill them yourself first.

>>60325706
I don't even want my life to last 95 years man wtf are you taking about?

>intel SSD

they probaly have a hardware backdoor in their SSD's aswell and they stole your data

>>60328386
It's all software-encrypted, friend.
