You need to talk to your optometrist.

If they don’t give you answers then find another optometrist.

Source: I have weird eyes and my first several optometrists were not particularly informative.

Apparently it’s by subscription only…

I’m pretty sure that there’s a Chinese proverb that covers this…

At least the thermal paste isn’t too thick…

I think that the context here is important, a formal setting of a lecture, not the cafeteria or someone’s dorm room.

Not for nothing, I suspect that if that’s the group dynamics in groups you participate in, you need to work on finding better groups.

Depends on how you install the software.

If you used snap to install it, then this affects you.

From the article, uninstall the software and use a .deb, .rpm or flatpack installer instead.

Essentially the snap version has a long standing bug that causes deleted files to be stored outside the normal “trash can” structure.

History repeats…

Start your own “musings” community and have as much fun as you like.

So … a company that despite decades of effort, can’t make a competitive web browser with all the help in the world, is now going to distract itself with even more non-essential rubbish with absolutely zero chance of success … can’t wait to hear what the excuse is going to be when this CEO leaves to pursue other opportunities.

Meanwhile the Assumed Intelligence Ponzi scheme will have collapsed, taking with it a significant portion of the economy, let alone the ICT industry.

This timeline needs some tweaking…

Build a website on your preferred platform, you’re already using WP.

Create a static version of it. There’s plugins for exactly that purpose.

Put the static files on a web host, I use s3, but you can use whichever you prefer.

When you update the site on WP, run the static extraction again and update your actual site.

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.

No, “the due and payable” kind.

I suspect that the house of cards will come tumbling down as soon as one of the companies in this massive Ponzi scheme fails to pay their bill.

In the Netherlands this is common knowledge, there’s even a nursery rhyme about it:
