  • How short term are you actively using all 100 tabs?

    This session is almost one year old and on my private laptop. At work I used to juggle three projects so sometimes I had three windows with up to 30-40 tabs. Effectively they remain about 5 workdays project wise. I use it as a short-term memory: While on call, open tab with workload, write it down on paper and queue it.

    Best thing is to finally close all that crap and get to a tab I wanted to read for my own.

    I don’t even use many bookmarks.

    Me neither. Had to tweak the urlbar in about:config though.

    … or move the cursor to the address bar, …

    That’s ctrl_G right? I tend to close + open the tab to get to the address bar and then restore the closed tab. Is there a more quicker way to get into the address bar than said binding?

    Easier to me than having to maintain/remember the order of tabs.

    It’s reliable and muscle memory. Its perfect for short interruptions and and then resume where I have left.


  • My bookmarks shall be my first suggestions in my urlbar, so a bookmark is either frequently used or something I want to refer to specifically because of its content and quality.

    Everything I want to read later is placed as leftmost of my top-level tabs. Opening tabs is right to my current tab without visiting them immediately. I visit them by closing the first and immediately get the next unvisited. My previous tab is still my top-level.

    If I do not have the time to read everything leftmost, I may open a new window. If there is something really worth it to be saved, it gets elected a bookmark.

    // after reading my own answer: My bookmarks are curated across years, my session might life 1 hour to multiple months. Firefox allows me to even transfer my tabs across new devices. Each time i finished a task and close tabs, I am able to read on of the tabs to the left. This is work time.





  • I have around 100 tabs open. If they remain opened, I can ctrl+tab in chronologic history. That’s otherwise not possible.

    // Edit: Also, this order remains across reboots I never had any issue with this. They can easily be recovered after an update and the ordering still exists. It is simply more powerful then bookmarks. Also from these tabs may only be a low percentage bookmark worthy.

    At some commenters: just because you are not grasping my workflow doesn’t mean that I am missusing my tool. In fact I am able to fully navigate my entire session with the keyboard across multiple tasks spanning multiple months. If you simply dump all of these in the bookmarks I am lowering my bookmark quality, which results in wrong suggestions in my urlbar. And I do not even use any plugin.

    I really couldn’t enjoy them. It was going against my grain and I could tell every upcoming emotion upfront. It reminded me of these short-cutted youtube videos.

    Some scenes were nostalgic but I did indeed feel robbed for all the potential stories missed and overwritten.

    Since my friends had a good time I just focused on these few nostalgic moments which were nice to see after such a long time. You gifted me the opportunity to reflect which I appreciate.

    The prequels are god awful movies and you seem to have no issue with them.

    Hehe, you read me like a book. I even liked episode one very much.

    When episode 2 was released I have already read at least 10 books from the star wars universe. Chronologically before episode 1 and after episode 6.

    The authors of these books exchanged concepts, aligned the universe across ther works and put care into consistencz between different reads. They probably even questioned george lucas about the possible future.

    And then there came disney, dumped across years of work and didn’t bother to align anything. This is why they suck hardcore to me. And then these films are dump and just money-grabbing machines.

    Fuck everything since disney. They simply suck hardcore.



  • Some elaboration of mine for doing this post:

    Once I helped organizing some huge event. Attending negotiations between a monopol-like company and the purchasing departments.

    Attendees required to be far from certain competition and even ruling participation out under certain circumstances.

    I am in favor of the doubt but there has to be more similiarities between these sponsor than to the common eye. So I posted this.





  • If you run qemu from CLI you get a window which grabs keyboard and mouse automatically. Ctrl+Alt+G (from the top of my head) releases the input devices so you can again navigate the host. The window is otherwise a default window for you display server.

    I find qemu from CLI way more transparent then these GUI-Applications since each vm is a readable, single script. So I recommend this.

    Regarding installation on iMac bare metal: If the kernel supporta virtualization you can expect to work flawlessly. If you have a dedicated graphics card you can only pass this (as well as dedicated devices like hdd’s) if you main board supports IOMMU.

    If it does all you need is the qemu man page to setup your vm.

    Why I prefer a qemu script to any GUI alternative:

    The entire script for passing RAM, GPU and a HDD is about 10 lines max. A default vm with tcg-emulation e.g. via libvirt etc. can pass 50 lines of xml easily.

    I recommend giving it a try. My workflow is: Place the install script in some directory. The default run script is placed in my ~/.bin/ You can combine these scripts but I find it way simpler to separate them (you would need more elaborate options mounting devices).
