Wanted to mention this seems to be fixed, but I was never able to find a tool that could tell me why it was occurring.

It was ultimately NTP (clock), but it was actually the router clock. I switched PCs and I think my original PC had software to talk to the router, which must’ve been setting the time. It seems like it changed to a completely different time at some point.

Changed it, then just released/renewed/flushed dns. I also manually turned on the time service at some point and ran a sync from the command prompt just to be safe. and everything is acting normally now.

I’m not sure what to read from the storage. From what I can see only the cookies are being used. (1 cookie)

Is there a way to tell when each of them are interacting with it?

Update: So far i’m down to 2 extensions:
Ublock
600% sound volume

Memory still ballooned from 1GB to 5GB.

When I checked processes before closing, even after force unloading Youtube under processes, GPU was using around 1 GB. There was literally nothing else I could unload that would stop this.

Again I loaded all tabs just to be fair…GPU is using half of that currently. I’m also questioning the reliability of about:processes to an extent, because I couldn’t actually see what was adding up to the 5 GB I was seeing in task manager.

I also tried some advice I saw to just whitelist youtube, as it sounds like google does something regarding adblockers. But this did not seem to do anything noticable.

edit: based on another post, trying troubleshoot mode, though i’m always uncomfortable having all site blockers (ublock now) turned off.

I don’t know how to do that.

‘Improve Youtube!’
600% sound volume
7TV
Auto Tab Discard
Better TTV
Libredirect
LiveTL
Privacy Badger
Tampermonkey (No scripts enabled)
Ublock
User-Agent Switcher and Manager

i’d say about 40 tabs, mix of:
Danbooru
Youtube
Kbin
Reddit
Amazon
game8.co
libreddit

Plain Firefox

To be fair, only a handful of publishers were able to take their cards and go elsewhere. The media companies were a lot more on top of dragging their products off of Netflix.

Nobody would be on steam just for Valve games, after all, and indie has a much lower barrier of entry.

While they could certainly distribute their current products better, a lot of the issues they have now (see: belated frogs comment) aren’t things they really had control over.

It’s probably because I generally saw the sub shutdowns as a result of the protest, and not as an ongoing protest. Reddit clearly wasn’t in any talks with the mods at that point and vica versa.

Honestly i’ll just go with it being months. I’m basically just arguing semantics at this point.

I mean, I remember it being weeks myself.

But it’s not as if things went back to the way they were either. There were definitely effects due to those weeks.

It wasn’t the right argument is the issue. Like only the last thing he ever said was directly saying CPC.

Like if thats what we wanted to find out we clearly got the wrong person to ask it.

I mean, Russia flubbed so hard the whole world saw it.

Israel clearly has the arsenal everyone thought Russia did.

What makes you think the killing will stop?

If your reason is “Because they will be dead”, then I think you have your answer.

Polio is also mandatory for life if you get it.

Whats so complicated about probability?

Probably that it is at the end of the day still chance, and once it happens it happens.

Almost all people who didn’t vaccinate against covid are still alive and well you know.

Pretty sure that’s wrong.

People take a risk either way. Taking the vaccine or not taking it.

You’re also taking a risk to take the disease head-on or not. Side effect of Covid include

-Excessively high fever
-Weakness
-Potential risk of Long Covid
-Fucking death

All that research and none of it towards how much the vaccine wouldn’t have affected you huh? Well just don’t pass it off to the next generation you POS.

Pretty sure most people think of Covid, the thing a lot of people did die to, or Polio, the returning sickness that we literally had a president who couldn’t walk because of.

Fun part being we’re having life-debilitating diseases (again, polio) come back from the results of the anti-vax rhetoric.

So you’ve never been truly sick is all that means. Just means you’ll die when you have a truly dangerous sickness and don’t take any precautions for it.

All of which would still apply to Elon Musk. No way the guys open sourcing his microchips.

A lot of medicines have side effect. And a lot of side effects. But you still take them because The thing you’re taking them for fucking sucks

There’s being careful and there’s forgetting the whole point of it all: to not get a life-debilitating sickness. Which a lot of vaccines eliminate.

On the bright side, it looks (based on what I can tell) that things calmed down and the guy he was talking to took it fairly well.
