Just annotations of little "how to's", so I know I can find how to do something I've already done when I need to do it again, in case I don't remember anymore, which is not unlikely. Hopefully they can be useful to others, but I can't guarantee that it will work, or that it won't even make things worse.
Sometimes there's some program somehow auto-starting, you want to either to not have it auto-starting or change some environment variable, then you don't see it anywhere on Openbox' own autostart, or on other possible autostart-like scripts on the home folder, like ~/.config/autostart, maybe .Xsessionrc and the like, and google's results end up in threads of people asking the same question and not finding any answer... and only after a reasonable amount of time you remember there's /etc/xdg/autostart,...

I was googling a lot to figure out what could be happening, but already under the assumption that one of the HDDs I have in a USB dock station was about to fail definitively. In fact, part of my reading was around trying to understand if maybe Linux itself doesn't deal well with this kind of set-up, in ways that could be perhaps more damaging than the normal internal usage of the HDD.
But then I found a piece of information suggesting that maybe what happened was just that the USB...
In line with the idea of reducing how much it's written on SSD, some people suggest using tmpfs for lots of things, one of them can be the ~/.cache directory. Which must be implemented in a per-user basis or with some pre-mount script that would do such tmpfs mounts before each user login. But regardless, the point is that they may spare the SSD, but not the RAM, obviously. If you quit a cache-heavy program, its cache would still be there, leaving other programs you're running with less RAM to use....
