MIT Swap today. Not as many vendors as usual, but still still a decent amount of retro computers, radios, and free piles (my weakness!) here’s a quick tour of some of the things I saw

i just did over 3 hours of web browsing (trying to find a good adjustable weight bench outside of the US) with many tabs in firefox on A311D Reform that has only 4GB RAM, and there were zero problems because i just used a swapfile on my SSD :3

kkarhan,

@mntmn never used despite having it setup...

Question for the guys/gals:

Is there something one should consider when doing a mirror (Two SSD's, RAID 1)? 🙂

I normally only do:

zpool create example mirror /dev/ada1 /dev/ada2

(I'm no expert at all)

zirias,

@jhx Nothing specific to as far as I know.

Like with any and similar, it works best when the used drives are the same model, at least the same size and speed...

Specifically about your example: Do you have yet another drive for ? If not, I would suggest to create (identical!) partition tables on the drives (zpool on top of partitions is unproblematic with ) and have some swap space on both of them. That's better than putting swap in a file or on a zvol...

Some $6 billion of assets once frozen in South Korea is in Qatar, a key element for a planned between and the United States, an Iranian official said Monday.

Nasser Kanaani made the comment during a news conference aired on state television, but the feed cut immediately after his remarks without explanation.

Why was I just able to remove a and resize the partition while using the drive? I thought live partition editing didn't work...

Gibt es ein Portal, wo ich falsch abgestellte E-scooter schnell und einfach melden kann? Ich habe von Scooter-Melder.de gehört, aber außer Lime scheint dort kein Anbieter mehr aktiv zu sein.

Hier in Ingolstadt geht es vor allem um Tier Scooter.

Klar hat das alles was von "Falschparker aufschreiben", aber mir geht das gehörig auf den Sack, dass einige Leute meinen, sie können ihren Roller einfach mitten auf den Radweg stellen.

thisven,

@thomas Ich kann das sehr gut nachvollziehen. Mit den Akkus von ! habe ich versucht meinen Ärger durch einen witzigen Spruch zu kanalisieren:

> Running out of swap space at the pavement? Don't panic this Tier is going to be BASHed.

General thoughts: The swap issue is part of why you're supposed to mlock or mlockall your program. It prevents that.

Hibernation still causes issues though, as the manpage for mlock mentions the system's memory will still be copied to swap. Encrypted swap helps against external recovery, but any program with sufficient permissions to read from arbitrary block devices can just crawl it.
