Heads up if you're running #Debian #Forky (a.k.a. Debian Testing) and you have a lot of RAM. The new user-space OOM manager systemd-oomd doesn't treat kernel cache memory as available when calculating memory usage. That means it decides you're running out of RAM when you actually aren't and kills processes when it shouldn't.
Ref: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1118191
You might want to uninstall it until this is fixed, or mask systemd-oomd.{service,socket} and reboot to disable it.
