Google Chrome had this on Android several years ago, but it was quickly yanked out—probably because people hated it as it felt like ti bogged down the OS with it. Personally, it felt like information overload forced into a limited UX context.
But now with advancements like tab unloading/discarding and faster CPUs, it might work for some people om mobile devices. Desktop browsers though might still be hampered by limited task/context-switching options.
I totally understand the confusion it brought to users, but I'm equally disappointed in how quickly the idea was abandoned, especially by the broader Android app ecosystem. It would be so useful to be able to open multiple Amazon app tabs to compare products for example.
The feature is still in the OS, so apps that declare support can allow users to open multiple simultaneous windows of itself. Most native Android apps can probably add support for this feature with minimal code changes, as Android "best practices" have pushed apps towards good reactivity support and rigorous handling of app state in these types of edge cases.
Somewhat OT, but tangentially related: One of my clients likes to tell me his work requirements by telling me long-winded stories about how he came up with an idea, what exactly happened, etc. that was useful at first but became extremely wasteful of time as years passed. I tried typing down notes while he talked, but it became too hard to write useful ones.
At some point, I resorted to keeping an audio recording of the whole meeting just to make sure I have something to come back to, in case my notes fail me.
I wouldn't do this for everything, but it helped me realize that an audio/video log like a dashcam video can work for certain scenarios.
This. I've had an always-on Pi 3 since 2016 and after countless random corruption issues from various micro SD cards, I moved to booting them from old USB2 flash drives, first an 8gb then an 16gb one. Never had an issue with them and they've been solid. I only had to mess with the flash drives when I had to do an OS upgrade.
Also, those micro SD cards were always fine after a format/partition and I can still use them in other devices just fine. I've read before that the Pi has a tendency to corrupt micro SD cards through its reader, and IIRC it's related to power issues.
This happened a lot to my Pi 3 back when I used the internal SD slot. I set it to boot off USB and used an old 8gb USB2 flash drive as the boot drive and never had the problem again.
Among the things I'd prioritize is to make a map of all services/APIs/site structure and how everything falls into place. This would help you make informed decisions when adding new features or assessing which part of the monolith is most prone to failure.
I normally don't use VPNs, so please correct me if I am wrong.
I think from a law enforcement/accountability standpoint, if an "actor" is accused of wrongdoing while using Mullvad's port forwarding service, Mullvad might have some evidence linking the "actor" to an actual identity, since they have the payment information. Depending on the laws of whatever territories, Mullvad may be compelled to leak that info to a judge. Without that information, then there's no information they can ever be forced to leak.
