I am currently in the market for a new mobile phone. The current's one battery is basically dead and because of security patches now being about 2 years old I have to replace it whole instead of just getting the battery replaced again.
Pixel with GrapheneOS has been my number one choice for some time but...
there is no (privacy friendly & legal) replacement for Google Play Protect.
My banking app won't work without it as well as one other app I kind of need too.
I am also just too used to having a phone in the 250-300 EUR range in the sense that I don't have to care about it that much.
It's a "consumable" product for me. Loosing/drowning it is not a big deal, where drowning 800 euros is just hard to justify no matter how much money I make.
I will probably just get the OnePlus Nord 4 instead because of their pledge to do 6 years of updates.
Afaik RedBot (oss, extensible discord bot in Python) used it to allow people to run python scripts directly from discord without access to the file system, network and to limit the run time.
In my book I've had categorised it as a lower-level tool for security and sandboxing, a lot lower level then firejail is.
I would worry about getting rate-limited then, I've seen some content servers just be very picky about making too many requests (through jumping in the video too far too often).
You could also (hard) limit the total (virtual) memory process will use (but the system will hard kill it if tries to get more) with this: systemd-run --user --scope -p MemoryMax=8G -p MemorySwapMax=0 prismlauncher
You would have to experiment with how much Gs you want to specify as max so that it does not get outright killed.
If you remove MemorySwapMax the system will not kill the process but will start aggressively swapping the processes' memory, so if you do have a swap it will work (an depending on how slow the disk of the swap is, start lagging).
In my case I have a small swap partition on an m2 disk (which might not be recommended?) so I didn't notice any lagging or stutters once it overflow the max memory.
So in theory, if you are memory starved and have swap on a fast disk, you could instead use MemoryHigh flag to create a limit from where systemd will start the swapping without any of the OOM killing (or use both, Max has to be higher then High obv).
Fabric is one of many mod loaders ala Forge. It's newer and less bulky then Forge (but afaik it already did have it's own drama so now we also have a fork called Quilt, the same goes for Forge and NeoForge).
The mods I've specified above can be considered as a suite replacement for the (old) OptiFine.
E: For example this all the mod loaders modrinth (mod hosting website, curseforge alternative) currently lists:
As a side note and a little psa, if you need to squeeze out more overall performance of out of MC (and you are playing vanilla or Fabric modpack) I very much recommend using these Fabric mods: Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore and optionally Krypton (server-only), LazyDFU, Entity Culling, ImmediatelyFast.
Big modpacks that add a lot of different blocks will also always explode the memory usage as at the start, Minecraft pre-bakes all the 3d models of the blocks.

Stop benefitting from the internet, it’s not for you to enjoy, it’s for us to use to extract money from you. Stop finding beauty and connection in the world, loneliness is more profitable and easier to control.
