Firefox Multi Account Containers and Equivalents [2]
OK I have managed to simplify this from yesterday. I now expect to have just single user profile in FF and do the following: Window 1 will be the one on the main screen of my PC and it will be the one that mainly I am using MACs. The MACs will be geared around…

Computing resources optimisation [2F]: Managing Disk Space Usage
The completion of this computer upgrade project is close to finished. I do have to complete mounting the fourth computer, which is inching along at a glacial pace at the moment, and various small tasks. One of the important ones is that mainpc’s disks which have a total capacity of 1.8 TiB or 2 TB…

Computing resources optimisation [2D]
I am going ahead with this so I have been busy over the last few days installing and removing things around the place. To date I have installed the old mediapc chassis with a new board, CPU and RAM, GA-B250M-D3H with Kaby Lake Pentium G4560, and moving all three disks across from serverpc. It was…
