it tends to give “good enough” answers which are actually “nowhere near”.
The problem is it’s doing this when coding too. The resulting screed often looks plausible if you only look at it at the surface level, but once you dig in to it, it’s “nowhere near” and usually full of missed conditions on the unhappy path in particular.
I find a pinch of salt helps to bring out the flavour and accentuates the roast. It’s got to be crunchy though.
It’s ok to admit you don’t like peanut butter. Next you’re going to tell us you only eat the smooth stuff, aren’t you? 🤔
I was going to join those commenting that that seems like a lot, but then I thought about how I nake peanut butter sandwiches. You’ve really got to trowel it on, or what’s the point, right?
I like your pitch, I’ll give you $1.50 for 30%, but the name has to be “stror” to hit the “likes apps ending in r” demographic.
Well, congratulations, I guess. I don’t think I’ve felt my blood pressure spike that hard reading the responses to a comment before. Pure ragebating!
What an udderly unacceptable omission.
You know you can be sociable without giving them details? “Yeah, I’ll be seeing family”, “Got some jobs around the house that need doing”, or even “nah, just taking it easy this time”. It doesn’t even have to be quite factual. The person asking almost certainly doesn’t really care about the details, they’re just trying to connect with you, so maybe have some fun with it. Hint that you have a secret identity as a superhero who fights the misuse of apostrophes or em-dashes, or that you spend all your spare time painting minatures models of slime molds.
The cache usage being higher on a server than a laptop seems fairly likely as more disk accesses are occurring. When data is loaded from disk, the linux kernel will keep it in memory even after the original requester is done with it, on the principal that it might need it again. This is the cache you’re seeing. If the kernel detects high memory utilisation it will free cache pages before anything else, so you actually want to see near 100% memory utilisation all the time, as it means fewer accesses to disk.
The swap usage is harder to diagnose without more detailed diagnostic work, but you can see from the graph you posted that, even what swap is being used, you have a little free memory. This may well be the kernel preemptively moving little used memory pages to the swap cache so tgat they can be evicted from memory quickly if needed. You could investigate thus by adjusting the ‘swapiness’ value closer to 0, to see if that delays the swap usage and reduces the peak.
Seeing high cache and buffer numbers is usually a good sign, as it means the system is making full use of the memory you have. It’ll automatically deallocate it if something actually needs the memory, but until then it’s using it to store data you might need.
Swap’s a funny one, and whilst you can tune it to an astonishing degree, the decisions the kernel makes aren’t always what you’d want. With this little actual memory usage, compared to the installed RAM, you might be able to run without swap at all, unless you want something like hibernate. If you want to test that, you can run (as root) swapoff -a, which should disable all swap devices, pushing needed pages back in to RAM, but only until you reboot. If it’s stable, you can consider removing the swap partition(s) later.
Where this approach falls apart is where the argument they’re making is convincing enough that it might appear legitimate to a less informed reader than you. The reader may not engage with the comment, but, if there’s no counter-argument, instead go away believing it may have some validity.
Obviously thus doesn’t apply to the more blatant forms of trolling, but even that distinction can be blurry.
Wouldn’t want to lead a predator to his den. You’ve got keep that stuff far from home so the concentration and smell doesn’t attract unwanted interest.
I’m not casting aspersions on kagi, I’ve heard nothing but good things about them, but I don’t agree with the idea that paying means you’re not the merchandise. Once a company gets greedy enough, with few enough competitors, you’ll be both the customer and the merchandise.
Let the editor holy wars (re)start!
Vim is the one true editor, and the heretics who claim otherwise shall be driven forth and sent to re-education linux boot camps to learn the true ways.
Niw there’s a name I haven’t heard in a very long time. Is it still actually going?
They couldn’t come close to dealing with thousands of drones. You can do a rough calculation for the number needed to overwhelm a laser by considering the speed they fly at (200mph seem to be a middle of the pack number for longer range attack drones) and the length of time it takes for the laser to aim and cause the drone to fail (in the order of 5 seconds or so from demo videos IIRC). In that 5 seconds, the drone will have travelled around a quarter of a mile. So for every mile of range the laser has, it can only fend off around 4 drones. Any more than that would have to be dealt with by the CIWS. So, even given a 10 mile effective range, and say three lasers, a ship would be overwhelmed by a fleet of around 120 drones. Round that up to 150 or so, and you’re scoring direct hits on it.
It would explain the ex-wife’s desire for a divorce if he dropped trou every time he saw a hat.
When you’re dealing with a large fleet of servers you need a system that you can automate. IPMI is (sort of) standardised, so you can use the same tooling to monitor and manage all of your servers, regardless of model or manufacturer. A serial based interface would put a lot more friction in the way of that, and mean you have to manage and maintain even more devices.
