It’s all three! Cachy OS sets it up where it applies to both regular ram and vram. Even if just using a swap in ram, it will still be much faster than swapping to disk. Plus to the application, it looks like it has more ram/vram than there is physical ram/vram.

I have an idea! I know it won’t be quite the same as what you were doing before, but there is a way to make this easier.

What I do is use an automatic bread machine with a nonstick bucket. Instead of sourdough, I make multigrain bread. I just measure and add in the ingredients, turn it on, add the seeds when prompted, then take it out when it’s done. Currently I’m making whole grain bread and experimenting with various ratios of oat/dark rye flour, flax meal, and chia seeds.

Cleaning isn’t too hard, since the bucket is nonstick. I spray some dawn powerwash, wait about a minute, then fill the bucket with hot water, and let it soak overnight. When I clan it the next day, it comes right off. I usually wash the measuring cups/spoons about that time too.

It doesn’t use a ton of energy, and is manageable with both carpal tunnel syndrome, and ADHD/depression. Plus it’s very nourishing, and gives a small boost in overall energy.

It would still use zram if it’s setup, only way it wouldn’t is if you gone out of your way to disable it. Combine zram and the bore scheduler and it’s going to run better for sure.

You know how you can compress files? It work for ram as well.

What stopped you?

They do in fact have a handheld edition. I use it for my steam deck and it’s great.

Right, it could happen to anyone, but it’s still possible to lower the chance of that happening, or at least limit the damage when it does happen.

My local LLMs also seem to be slightly faster and for some reason now need less V-Ram.

This is likely due to zram being setup by default

To secure your stuff. Hacking and social engineering are both easier than you think and identity theft is devastating. I know most people here already know that, but having worked in tech support, it’s unbelievably common to skip even the basics, not to mention my grandparents who think I’m just paranoid.

This is painfully relatable
