likewise, alien life probably even if just microbial would throw a monkeywrench in a lot of folks beilef system

oh god i have so many junk boards i keep just in case i need some part. ive stripped them for parts maybe a handful of times over years.

please send help.

curious. im running all regular gui software and i usually only go over 8gb when im pushing it harder. the only time i do consistently is while gaming and even then im always below 16gb.

what distro are you running? do you have KSM enabled?

what do you use it for to be filling 8gb on linux?

its great on linux (regular distro, not particularly lightweight) and reasonable on windows 10 for me.

unless you are pushing too many tabs and/or many heavy programs

im forced to use it at work and holy shit. 11 is so heavy for no reason, 8gb of ram is not remotely enough anymore, even if you yank out some of the garbage. theres no apparent change in functionality to justify it.

the ssd smart says its almost at its end, and i suspect its because its constantly swapping. paging file is always full, unless i set it to something big like 8+ gb

and its actually pretty sad that he died of old age after a long comfy life

i usually advocate for a more restrictive license for commercial use, to avoid openssl type situations. where huge corpos will take it, use it to build big infrastructure without compensating the creator at all, and not even bothering to help with maintenance.

canonical and libreoffice are examples of companies that do commercial support contracts. proxmox is an example of free for personal use, but paid for businesses.

im talking about licensing and business models, by giving a few examples of how devs can be paid while being free and open for users, but paid somehow for companies. and how that doesnt necessarily mean it has to be closed.

is ubuntu not open source then? or libreoffice?

if so, sure.

i think you misunderstood it.

take a look at libreoffice, proxmox, pfsense, flexiwan, canonical, redhat if you want an example of this business model actually working, at different stages of success.

redirect a bit more of it to the devs and you get a bigger and better ecosystem.

make it free for non-commercial use. this works even as a business model of sorts.

so, socialism?

tankie to the rescue

chicken and egg kinda problem. mastodon would have benefitted from the influx of users.

quite the opposite for me. bluesky is a centralized platform owned by capital exactly like twitter, thus prone to the same issues.

migrating to bluesky instead of mastodon will just delay the problem.

much safer is better than completely safe

we take what we can get, and for all intents and purposes right now, the tor browser will solve their problem.
