"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. |

A Grateful American

| Ads are a real killer, especially if Ad Block is used. I have had the CPU fan spin up, memory usage spike and the CPU utilization peg at 100% for minutes. So, I found if I opened the Ad Block extension properties and toggled it off, the CPU and memory drop to normal in a few seconds, then I turn the block back on and all is good, until the next time. But it seems to be specific to certain sites and the ad APIs that trigger the spikes.

Delusions of Adequacy

| quote: Ads are a real killer,
I'm right now configuring a Raspberry Pi Zero to run Pi-Hole on my network. It will intercept DNS requests for ads, acting as an ad blocker for everything on my net. And for under thirty bucks.
I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. |
