okay, so in July 2024 I bought a pair of 18tb hard drives for storage + backup for $180 apiece.

This January, I bought a third 18TB to add parity checking, which was $320.
Now (in March), looking at the same drives, it’s $500.

Compressed swap is a common lever to improve memory density, but there's a lot of confusion about how to best use it out there, and many people treat zram/zswap as two flavours of the same thing when they are really far more nuanced.

So what works, what doesn't, and why? In this article I go over the tradeoffs, the work we are doing upstream, and a little about what the future looks like. I am, as always, happy to answer questions :-)

Debunking zswap and zram myths

zswap and zram are fundamentally different approaches with different philosophies. If in doubt, use zswap.

Die KI hat das schon mal evaluiert und entschieden es gibt kein Compliance Problem.
Das du das Thema jetzt noch mal hochbringst ist wirklich nicht Konstruktiv.

Wir können nicht dauernd die Compliance neu bewerten!

Hey EU, do stick to the agreements we do not stick to or something might happen to your gas supply! https://giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/actions/redeem/31fffcf4-e016-4a38-a2ce-b6f9a27a3e46

Der ökonomisch kluge Weg, wäre natürlich ein *bedingungsloses #Mobilitätsgeld* an alle natürlichen Personen zu zahlen, um sozial abzufedern und das Preissignal dennoch zu erhalten.

Dann ist die Aussage:

Du bekommst 70€. Wenn du wenig fährst, deckt das die nun unvermeidlichen Mehrkosten beim Pendeln ab, aber nicht mit den Range Rover und nicht den Road Trip, oder du nimmst ein Deutschlandticket + 2 Milchkaffee.

Du hast kein Auto oder ein BEV? dann freu dich doppelt!

"Crane slid her prototype onto a table holding a number of others, and retreated to the radiator. She was validated when one of the ad men the company hired picked hers out of the lineup and complimented it.

'This is the one we’re using, right?' he asked her boss. 'Oh no, that’s just something Meg did for talking purposes,' he replied. That line, especially, is burned into her memory."

People will react to news of major security vulns with "The only way to stay secure is to live as a hermit and throw your devices into the sea" and then keep chattering on the internet in a deeply unhermitlike manner while not throwing their devices into the sea.
