Wish they didn't skimp on RAM. 16 GiB is barely adequate.

Install earlyoom and tmux then run earlyoom in a tmux session

Kind of a weird setup, why not just enable the systemd unit?

sudo systemctl enable --now earlyoom

I'm so confused by the meme. What the hell is a "monolithic bug"? And what does DevOps have to do with software architecture?

You can use Fibonacci numbers to approximately convert miles to km in c/lifehacks@sh.itjust.works

Tbh, the last sentence was just a silly jab at the imperial units.

I was mostly just making fun of the fact that you implied the Fibonacci sequence can be memorized, when it is infinite. I'm not saying that referring to it is simpler than dividing/multiplying by a constant, no.

"Remember"? Do you also remember all the digits of π?

It's defined as F(0) = 0, F(1) = 1 and F(n) = F(n - 1) + F(n - 2). Which makes more sense than imperial units.

Am I in the minority if I inspect both the port and the plug before trying to plug a USB-A device in? Why frustrate yourself by attempting to plug it in blind?

YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port. in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

This but I prefer using a dedicated brush. Call me paranoid but what if an old toothbrush has bits of food stuck in it, wouldn't want that to get into the phone.

99% of Windows usability issues would be fixed if Windows had the guts to add this button in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

Not sure why you're downvoted.

Operating systems often cache disk writes and flush them to underlying devices once in a while. Dismounting (or "ejecting" in Windows terms) forces the writes to be flushed.

See man 2 fsync.
