  • Have you tried increasing the size of your swap memory in windows? Otherwise known as “virtual memory”. Depending on the speed of your drive and available space, you might be able to increase the vertual memory size to get more performance.

    But what about using a page archiving service, even a self-hosted one, like Shiori. Shiori has an extension that can allow for single click page archiving right from the browser. The pages are saved as html files or txt files and it will create a readability version of the file which is just the text and images. You could then search the files and their contents using something like VS Code to search the whole directory where the files are stored. There are plenty of other ways to do that search once you have those archives, though. I think even Windows File Search will search the contents of a txt or html file stored on the device.

    Shiori also has its own search, which is pretty fast, and searches the contents of the archives as well.



















  • I can’t speak for most of your post. I’ll say that an app that might allow you to find out if you’re being paid your fair wage sounds great, I couldn’t begin to know how to execute on that idea.

    But what I will say is this:

    I’m not sure if working with a union is worth it, especially in a country, where employers have reportedly hired goons to silence employees, not just blue-collar, but also IT sweat-shop employees.

    The past has taught us that labor victories are achieved despite significant opposition. The history of the Pinkertons, the history of the Haymarket affair in Chicago, the history of the Ludlow Massacre and the greater Coalfields War in Colorado and more. These stories are filled with people fighting against a system that will, when it feels it’s necessary, resort to incredibly oppressive methods of enforcement. You can probably find similar stories in India’s history. This is a history that shows how powerful labor is because if it weren’t, we wouldn’t need groups like the Pinkertons. Is it personally worth it? It’s up to you to decide, but the challenges we face today can help us build a better future.
