 * Windows: if the `up2k.db` (filesystem index) is on a samba-share or network disk, you'll get unpredictable behavior if the share is disconnected for a bit
   * use `--hist` or the `hist` volflag (`-v [...]:c,hist=/tmp/foo`) to place the db on a local disk instead
 * all volumes must exist / be available on startup; up2k (mtp especially) gets funky otherwise

 ## not my bugs
 
 * [Chrome issue 1317069](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1317069) -- if you try to upload a folder which contains symlinks by dragging it into the browser, the symlinked files will not get uploaded
 
-* [Chrome issue 1354816](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1354816) -- chrome may eat all RAM uploading over plaintext http with `mt` enabled
+* [Chrome issue 1352210](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1352210) -- plaintext http may be faster at filehashing than https (but also extremely CPU-intensive)
 
-  * more amusingly, [Chrome issue 1354800](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1354800) -- chrome may eat all RAM uploading in general (altho you probably won't run into this one)

-* [Chrome issue 1352210](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1352210) -- plaintext http may be faster at filehashing than https (but also extremely CPU-intensive and likely to run into the above gc bugs)

-* [Firefox issue 1790500](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1790500) -- sometimes forgets to close filedescriptors during upload so the browser can crash after ~4000 files
+* [Firefox issue 1790500](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1790500) -- entire browser can crash after uploading ~4000 small files
 
 * iPhones: the volume control doesn't work because [apple doesn't want it to](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AudioVideo/Conceptual/Using_HTML5_Audio_Video/Device-SpecificConsiderations/Device-SpecificConsiderations.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009523-CH5-SW11)
   * *future workaround:* enable the equalizer, make it all-zero, and set a negative boost to reduce the volume
