  • To me, they are just indicators of how much content I can expect. I scroll with the mouse wheel or using the page down/up keys. I don’t grab the thing. I only need to see the indicator when I am scrolling.

    But I wonder whether there is a accesibility aspect to always visible and wide scrollbars. I think, the best way to deal with it, is to make it an option how they look and behave.















  • I have a similar need and I am curious whether my current solution is any good:

    The data of interest is on a server which can only be accessed with ssh inside the institution. I’ve setup a read-only nfs share to a server which has a webserver (https enabled). There, I set up a temporary webdav share to the read-only nfs mount point and protected with htpasswd, hence external institution members do not have accounts at our institution.

    As soon as the transfer is complete I remove all the shares (nfs, webdav).






  • For suspend-to-ram (sleep) your swap file/partition/volume does not matter.

    You can save power and time by using suspend-to-disk (hibernate). For this I recommend giving it 150% swap space compared to your RAM. During hibernate you can switch off your power supply completely to even save the standby power consumption of it. Maybe you know of power distributors with switch.

    Waking from hibernate has almost the same “issues” as waking from sleep. I have zero issues with an AMD gpu.
