  • Remember that free RAM is wasted RAM that you already paid for. As a result, modern browsers will behave differently in a RAM-rich vs. RAM-lean environment. If there’s wasted space lying around the browser will just hold on to everything on the off chance that it’s needed again, but will more aggressively purge things if you start running out of RAM.

    Keep in mind that when I say “the browser” I also mean Spotify and Discord because those are Electron apps which means they are actually just Chrome tabs in a trench coat.





  • In the US a “farmers market” typically means that a city or town shuts down a few streets and farmers come from their rural farms to the city center to sell their produce. The prices can trend high, because the focus tends to be on quality and known provenence.

    What the parent poster is describing is not farmers markets, but farm stands. You have to go to them instead of them coming to you, which is where the savings come from. It might not be worth it depending on the value of your time.
