Request: Option to shuffle places

Open laped83 opened this issue 7 months ago • 2 comments

It would be nice to have a simple option to shuffle/randomize places when allocating a place using tags.

Some of reasons could be:

  • When shuffling all places will have the same flash writes from firmware updating and will more and less have the same version
  • Potentially finding differences on places 🦄 (shouldn't happen, sometimes it does 😄 )

Would using the modification time to determine the least recently used place fulfill your request?

Hi @PaulVittorino

Thanks for your response.

I'm unsure what that the modification time is. Is it the last time the place has allocated?
