I'm looking at tuning a #discourse server for performance, and I come across a thread. A senior guy who has migrated zillions of servers and runs a business hosting Discourse, counsels a person asking about tuning. The asker started by being worried about no available RAM.

Watching the livestream of the Artemis II launch, I just witnessed one of the astronauts type in the password on their tablet while sitting in the capsule on camera.
