I have a confession to make: I don’t always do as I say.
I’ve been a tech journalist for 20 years. Over those years, I’ve written countless how-to guides and advice columns, and I’ve made endless recommendations for how you should go about looking after, maintaining, and enhancing your PC.
But I’m embarrassed to say, I don’t follow all of the tips

I was thinking most people nowaday have at least 30mbp

Hey HN
I built a tool called ClipCapsule, a clipboard manager for Linux that's designed to be entirely keyboard-driven.
Here’s what it does:
Lets you recall and paste previous clipboard entries using just CTRL + SHIFT + 1~9.
Keeps a history of everything you copy, in a local database.
Moves selected items to the top of the clipboard stack (so CTRL + V pastes it).
Built with Go + WailsJS for a fast native feel.
No cloud. No telemetry. No fluff.
Right now, you’ll need to run it
