Membuat Browser Chrome Jadi Hemat Memory

:: Beberapa hari yang lalu, kembali laptop saya kehabisan RAM. Padahal, sudah dipasang sebesar 8 GB.

Penyebabnya adalah browser Chrome – karena saya banyak melakukan riset = banyak buka tab browser = boros RAM.

Ketika sedang browsing laptop Thinkpad seri W, yang bisa dipasang RAM sampai 32 GB, tidak sengaja saya menemukan extension Chrome yang bernama "The Great Suspender" : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-great-suspender/klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg?hl=en

Penggunaan RAM oleh Chrome langsung drop sampai 75% :D berkat extension ini.

Cara kerjanya simpel sekali :

# Saya set agar auto-suspend dalam waktu 5 menit

# Tab yang sedang tidak digunakan, dalam waktu 5 menit akan dicatat URL nya, dan lalu dihapus dari memory.

Tab nya sendiri tetap ada, tapi, isinya jadi kosong.

# Jika saya klik / aktifkan Tab tersebut, maka isinya / URL Tab itu akan otomatis dibaca lagi dari Internet.

Itu saja :) tapi efektif sekali.

Dan sebetulnya penghematannya bisa lebih dari 75%, namun Gmail & beberapa situs lainnya saya masukkan ke daftar whitelist. Sehingga selalu ada, tidak akan di suspend.

Mendadak jadi ada 4 GB RAM free :) sehingga saya bisa kembali leluasa bekerja :)

Semoga bermanfaat!

Indonesia’s Kompasiana among top crowd-sourced news gathering sites

Screen Shot 2014-04-22 at 5.18.31 PMInternational journalists’ network listed seven news outlets and projects including Indonesia’s Kompasiana that successfully engaging their communities in news gathering and personal writing.

Owned by Kompas, Indonesia’s largest newspaper, Kompasiana has became the country’s largest citizen media initiative with more than 200,000 contributors (including some big names like celebrities and politicians) and keep counting…

Checkout its full-list:

  • California Watch (now part of its founding organization, the Center for Investigative Reporting): Since its launch in 2009, the organization has been committed to engaging communities and reaching new audiences.
  • CGNet Swara: Former ICFJ Knight International Journalism Fellow Shubhranshu Choudhary’s mobile news service CGnet Swara (Voice of Chhattisgarh) has transformed how people in remote areas of India receive and share news.
  • The New York Times’ interactive commenting: When the Vatican announced a new Pope, Times readers who went to the paper’s story on the election of Pope Francis were asked to define themselves three ways: Were they happy with the decision or not? Were they surprised by the choice or not? And, were they Catholic or not?
  • Tracking cicadas: WYNC’s data team paired up with the radio program Radiolab to build the Cicada Tracker, a project that used do-it-yourself soil monitors to predict the re-emergence of 17-year cicada swarms.
  • Kompasiana, a “social blog for the community”: Kompas, one of Indonesia’s largest newspapers, has cultivated a committed network of citizen journalists who post news, opinion and even works of fiction online.
  • ProPublica’s ‘Get Involved’: To investigate 2012 political campaign spending in the U.S., the staff of ProPublica, a New York City-based nonprofit news organization that produces investigative journalism in the public interest, asked readers to help “Free the Files.”
  • Storyful and the social web: Since 2010, Dublin-based Storyful has helped news organizations use social media to strengthen newsgathering, reporting and storytelling.

By the way, I myself also write blog posts for Kompasiana, sometimes :-)
