zram is only suitable if you have no swap. I’d you have swap, zswap does a better job. It also compresses pages in memory, but swaps the least recently used pages to disk when pressured.

Sounds s lot more fair than the experience I had at home!
Three kids crammed in front of one computer. One on keyboard, one on mouse and one on joystick. The one on joystick was at the worst disadvantage. A small nudge was a good way to sabotage rebuilding your fortress.
I enjoyed Rampart tremendously back in the day. It had a lot of ports, but I’m surprised it hasn’t had any remakes or clones in the last 30 years.
Start with getting some experience before considering buying a boat. Not only can you lose your investment, but your life. Job a club, take lessons, make friends at the local yacht club, volunteer as crew. Requirements for being a skipper vary quite a bit between countries. Some let anyone go up to a certain size, others require certifications even for small dinghies.
The bigger the boat, the harder it is too both manoeuvre and maintain.
Do you want something small that you can roll into the water on a ramp when you use it?
Do you want something big enough that requires a crane to get in the water? Prepare to spend a week cleaning, sanding, polishing, waxing and applying new anti-foul yearly.
I feel like googling his name would have sorted it all out.
Something similar happened to this Finnish chainsaw juggler. He had just come back from performing at Kim Jong-Un’s birthday and had a stubborn headache that wouldn’t go away. Straight to the mental ward.
Article in Finnish, I’m sure Google translate does a decent job.
I started with Commodore KERNAL/BASIC 2.0 on the VIC-20, if that counts as an operating system. Otherwise GeOS on the Commodore 64.
First Linux distro was slackware 3.0.
I’d only use zram if I had no swap device/file.
In my experience zswap performs better, and doesn’t get in the way of hibernation. In fact, most distros enable it by default today, and it doesn’t always work so great with zram.
I was just wondering how they even managed to get publicly listed with that track record. Apparently a reverse merger with a company previously set up for just that purpose is just a slap on the wrist.
I guess it all depends on perspective.
I love that it’s free compared to those $10-20k licenses for similar systems.
I love that there are good package managers.
I love that it’s open source.
I hate that it’s GPLv2.
I hate how bloated the kernel is. I’d like it to fit into main memory.
I hate how it’s not POSIX-certified.
It depends on how far down the rabbithole you go.
I switched to Linux 27 years ago. My wife asks me to help her with her Windows computer every now and then, and I can’t really do it for more than a few minutes before my blood pressure is in the risk zone.
MorphOS. It’s still kicking.
I’ve always been quite deadline driven. So the week before going to the breakpoint demo party I wrapped up a Commodore 64 demo in a long series of all-nighters.
When I finally crashed I was dreaming 6502 assembly.
In no order:
I’ve never had a car loan in my life. I’ve never had comprehensive insurance. I’ve had four cars in 22 years. Only once have I had a car less than 12.6 years old, and just barely. 10y is the sweet spot when I go used car shopping.
My current 2007 C4 grand picasso sitting at 153k km should last me at least another four-five years before I hit my pain point maintenance-wise.
I cracked the windshield on my current car, but that repair cost 1/5 of what 22 years of windshield insurance would’ve cost, ignoring inflation.
I’d get a HDMI capture card for the tablet, if it supports USB-otg. Just run a program to preview the input on the tablet and connect it like any monitor to your laptop.
Overwhelmingly positive.
btrfs every day of the week. The only scenario where I’d even consider something else is for databases that would suffer from CoW.
I’ve been running it on my home server since 2010. The same array has grown from 6x2TB to 6x4TB, one disk at a time as they’ve failed. Currently sitting at 2x18TB+1x4TB. No data loss even though many drives have failed.
I’m a unix-guru.
If I were to shave I’d get a -5 penalty on my bash magic.
If I skip showers for a month I can interface directly with any device in /dev
This cleared out a flea infestation in our dog. We use it preventatively because ticks, as well.
Fleas tend to linger because their eggs shed all over the place. As I recall, frontline had some double action going on by both killing fleas and causing their eggs to hatch into nymphs that never evolve into breeding maturity.
Fleas don’t really like biting humans, so any occurrence is a one+off.
