I keep getting messages about my home drive running out of space. With the help of du and sdiff -s, I found that .cache/google-chrome/Profile 1/Cache/Cache-Data was filling up at the rate of 260KiB every 6 seconds, connected to Chrome playing BBC radio. I listen to internet radio for long periods, so it's not surprising. Time to switch (back) to Firefox? Bah! -- Grimble Machine 'Haydn' running Plasma 5.27.10 on 6.6.116-desktop-1.mga9 kernel.

The above however is not evidence of that. It could equally be a mistake or a bug. It looks like they are saving the audio in the cache (40KB/s is the standard audio rate), and they are probably saving it until you stop running that program. Whether that is a good thing (having the previous and future stuff on the local system so you can easily page back or forward-- you do not say whether these are recorded broadcasts or live)-- withough needing to re-download load everything again), or bad (filling up your memory probably depends on your situation or likes. > > They lied. About what? I have never seen them claim that they would not save stuff on your disk. Just because you do not like their choice of default behaviour does not mean either that they or evil or that they lied. > > TJ

You could try chromium instead. Alternatively as kludge run a crontab which empies the cache evry minute or so of the bbc radio caches. > G >
