This is the job for the OS.

You can run most Linux systems with stupid amounts of swap and the only thing you’ll notice is that stuff starts slowing down.

In my experience, only in extremely rare cases are you smarter than the OS, and in 25+ years of using Linux daily I’ve seen it exactly once, where oomkiller killed running mysqld processes, which would have been fine if the developer had used transactions. Suffice to say, they did not.

I used a 1 minute cron job to reprioritize the process, problem “solved” … for a system that hadn’t been updated for 12 years but was still live while we documented what it was doing and what was required to upgrade it.

Linux aggressively caches things.

4 GB of RAM is not running out of memory.

If you start using swap, you’re running into a situation where you might run out of memory.

If oomkiller starts killing processes, then you’re running out of memory.

This explains is pretty well:

We’ll, that’s interesting:

During Newton’s lifetime, two calendars were in use in Europe: the Julian (“Old Style” calendar in Protestant and Orthodox regions, including Britain; and the Gregorian (“New Style”) calendar in Roman Catholic Europe. At Newton’s birth, Gregorian dates were ten days ahead of Julian dates; thus, his birth is recorded as taking place on 25 December 1642 Old Style, but it can be converted to a New Style (modern) date of 4 January 1643. By the time of his death, the difference between the calendars had increased to eleven days. Moreover the civil or legal year in England began on 25 March, therefore the Newton’s death on 20 March was still dated as 1726 O.S. there.

Interesting. TIL. Thank you.

I did discover this collection of tools that appears to provide code signing by the Linux Foundation project:

Why can’t RustDesk use Let’s Encrypt instead?

For a time it was Solitaire, but these days it’s 2048.

Why type uptime when w is sufficient?

Wow, that’s some serious misinformation.

And precisely how will you achieve the minimum standard of sustaining human life … trivial things like food and lodging?

Nothing says “I don’t care about my data.” more than the examples in the screenshot.

What happens when two different files in different directions have the same name?

Have a look at the modlog.

You only just figured this out? It’s always been about reducing wages … or said differently, how to get richer than the other members at your country club.

Well, unless it came back in the last 25 minutes, it’s working fine in Western Australia.

In the vast majority of operating systems the person who installs the system is by default the highest privileged user, in the case of some of those systems, that user is called root.

However, the word root is also used to describe the basis of several file systems.

No.

Secure boot is about trusting which (signed) software is running.
