been testing this quite a lot for star citizen which regularly sees 20-40 GB use. zram is the easiest solution to avoiding OOM Killer by a long shot. zswap was swapping over 100 GB to disk cumulative throughout the day and still oom killing the game. zswap is also a pain in the ass to configure for the lay user and harder to get human readable stats. I don’t want lay users going anywhere near their bootloader but zswap is all kernel command line to make permanent changes

sometimes they just do that

oh wow the third xda post of the year about ntsync. it’s been on since November 2025 btw

lmao

I just wish the tradeoff with hybrids wasnt cutting the gas tank in half. why must the range be kept so low

eyeballing it, that all looks like stuff that an organization of that scale would have to spend money on, and better the entity and its sponsors paying instead of kernel developers

hey uh what if we grew food in temperate climates instead of export commodity crops the desert? just a thought

I keep the frozen chopped up okra stocked, amazing addition to any soups and none of the texture issues

the FERC report I read was more optimistic than I might have anticipated, apparently some 92% of new capacity in the US is supposed to be renewables, up like 6% yoy

I just watched this recently and it seemed to have some context on that situation https://youtu.be/NpBV222ULd8

sometimes they just do that. The US averages 7 train derailments a day and it doesn’t always make the news

steady hand and a magnetized needle is all I need. kernel is bloat

they still do warehouses? I thought everything was zero inventory nowadays

I’m in camp “people should learn about their systems no matter what”. we’re in an era where people can’t tell what’s a file and what’s executable , can’t unzip things or edit a plain text file. sure there should be mechanisms to easy people into the learning but it should still happen, there shouldn’t be this rampant incuriosity

my lug has been trying to do a bunch of testing to figure out if we should recommend zswap cover zram, particularly for those with 16 GB or less on highly demanding games, or even in all cases. lots of distros default to a tiny pinch of zram nowadays
