“When you became Denise, I told all of your colleagues, those clown comics, to fix their hearts or die.”

It doesn't take that much experimentation, though. Either set up not enough swap and keep increasing it by a little bit until you stop needing to increase it, or set up too much, and monitor your max use for a while (days/weeks), and then decrease it to a little more than the max you used.

I went with "set up 0 swap" and then never needed to increase it. I built my PC in 2023, when RAM prices were still reasonable, stuck 128GiB of ECC DDR5 in, and haven't run into any need for swap. Start with 0, turn on zswap, and if you don't have enough RAM then make a swap file & set it up as backing for zswap.

Even if you have plenty of memory for your work load, there are useful performance reasons for having some swap. The TLDR section of this link covers the important bits.

Relatively speaking, you do need a lot less swap than you did back in the day, but performance will suffer if you don't have some, and having too much doesn't cost you anything except storage.


People wanting to abolish ICE are not, generally, calling for doing away with immigration enforcement entirely. The main thing I've seen called for is the abolition of ICE, and the restoration of the pre-DHS Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), not under the DHS, but under the DOJ. I have also seen calls to eliminate the DHS entirely, and separate out the agencies under it to their pre-DHS organization.

My grandmother used to insist that her nightly glass of gin was strictly medicinal.

I've certainly noticed people acting as if they had less "everyday intelligence" where I live, where cannabis is not legal, and consumption has not soared.

Allegedly, given chain of custody concerns with the evidence.

Neither does DRM, really, but it certainly causes a great deal of inconvenience, and is upheld by the legal system.


One might almost say a Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons.

Heat and noise. The noise and the increased electrical bills are the main things people living near data centers complain about.
