I went to school in the 1980s. That was the time that calculators were first used in class and there was a similar outcry about how children shouldn’t be allowed to use them, that they should use mental arithmetic or even abacuses.

Sounds pretty ridiculous now, and I think this current problem will sound just as silly in 10 or 20 years.

Some people are just shittier than others. What they look like on the outside has no bearing on their inner beauty.

Good write up, but Docker’s also useful beyond having the ability to scale, portability being one. With some websites having a huge variety of dependencies now, keeping that all together and knowing it will run on multiple hosts is a big benefit.

(Downside, because nothing is ever for free: You then have to maintain those dependencies and update the image, rather than letting the OS keep everything up to date)

We use docker a lot at work, but not for scaling and not with any cloud provider.

A perfect use for them - controlled environment, difficult conditions, repetitive and predictable workflow.

But I’m puzzled by the design - why have a cab? Wouldn’t a more efficient layout be a whole-bed platform with all systems underneath?

X, for all the reasons.

Play store is impossible to browse to see what’s worth trying for this reason.

I bought NMS when it was released, and hated it. Ok, it’s legendary as something that was released before it was ready and that undoubtedly spoiled it for me - endless running and nothing to do, and I’m sure it’s better now.

Elite Dangerous was quite fun for a while, but I got frustrated with the flying aspect quite a bit and after several deaths I gave up. I’m old enough to remember the first Elite, which was even more unforgiving.

Freelancer sounds interesting - I started searching and landed on the Amazon page for it, which told me " You last purchased this item on 29 Apr 2005". I have no recollection of the thing, but then I have played a lot of games. Still, worth a revisit - I’ll take a look. Thanks.

Ok, but apart from that, it’s okay, right?

Seriously - what is a good space exploration/trading game that doesn’t require a huge learning curve? (I’m not a fan of flying stuff and too much trading is boring, but I do like exploring)

Not even a dialog, just a variable in my.cnf that enables it, like setting ibps manually. (And there are other buffers that maria might benefit from some extra growth if it knows it has space)

Dynamic memory handling.

On a machine where MariaDb is the primary service, I’d like to be able to set a variable in the config to tell it to use all the available memory apart from a sensible buffer.

Something like: dynamic_memory_resizing_margin = 512M (Default would be 0, which would disable this behaviour)

On startup, Maria would log in it’s primary log something like: “Dynamic Memory resizing in effect.” as a reminder to admins that it’s behaving in a non-standard way. It would also log if it was unable to resize down to its minimum footprint because, for example, something else was using more memory.

Maria would then periodically (1 min?) check free OS memory and increases innodb_buffer_pool_size (and possibly other buffers) to make best use of the VM’s memory.

Reasoning: I manage quite a few MariaDb instances on some 90 vms. These vary hugely between tiny databases, and huge, extremely busy databases. VM resources vary between 1Gb of ram up to 64gb. Currently I need to periodically review every server and adjust IBPS manually based on previous history. (We’ve had a lot of problem with malloc libraries allowing mariadb’s memory use to grow beyond what it should, so have very conservative margins to avoid ooms)

(I understand Mysql 8 has something that promised similar to this but I’m not sure of the details as we don’t use it)

They’re often having to juggle with very low budgets, old equipment, low skill and zero support. And that’s before you add children…

I don’t doubt they jumped at the chance of someone helping out.

You’re talking as if “The linux community” was one single bunch of people.

Reddit isn’t Linux HQ and nor is Lemmy, nor is Facebook. #linux still active on IRC too, but not there either.

Recent convert to immich and hugely impressed by the software and project - one of FOSS’s shining stars. Good work everyone.

“Free speech” for these people has only meant for them.

Every morning we wake up with the ability to change who we are and how we act and react.

If you’re sincere, you’ll use that to improve who you are tomorrow.

If you’re truly sorry, you’ll do something extra to help others in some way and address the karma imbalance you’ve caused. Apologise to those people you hurt. (Trust me, it will mean something to them) Find ways to help others survive bullying. Make anonymous donations to the places you stole goods from.

I don’t think they make violins small enough to signify my empathy for him.

Others have answered why this isn’t a memory leak as such and is not as big a deal as you may think.

But if you are still concerned, you can reduce it, even if doing so is a bad idea.

1. You’re running it natively which means you’re probably using a systemd .service file to manage jackett. Research the .system setting “RuntimeMaxSec” - that will force a restart of the service every N seconds and prevent it growing. (This is a bad idea, but if you want to boss it around, you can)

2. Run it in docker and force a max memory setting. Docker will prevent it using more than you set. You can also restrict cpu usage this way too. docker-compose example goes something like:

deploy: resources: limits: cpus: 0.5 memory: 100m
