  • Best thing
  • Cause something always explode while I am on vacations
    • Chromium no more fills cache with .org.chromium.XXX or lighthouse.XXXX directory. Thus the Docker agents should no more disconnect due to the huge cache filing them.
    • Thank you all for the debugging, assistance etc.
  • Worst thing
