Why compare a "full-featured", do-everything OS like Ubuntu with something pre-systemd when you're concerned about memory consumption?

I just checked a random debian 12 system (with systemd) running a bunch of services at home, and here's what I see:

$ free -m

total used free shared buff/cache available

Mem: 3791 320 2235 1 1313 3471

Swap: 99 0 99

Seems like usage is pretty much on par with your expectation. The largest consumers are systemd-journal which is storing logs in RAM, and filebeat which is relatively wasteful w/ memory. systemd itself (without the journal buffer log) consumes maybe 20-30 MB.

When I put my password in plaintext in git it shows up as ****. Can you try with yours and see if the same thing happens? Share the repo with me so I can check!

Cannabis works great for stress for a week, then it makes things worse for me. A few weeks off, and I can take advantage again.

I think it’s a combination of incredible weight, lots of aerobic activity, and the cold which masks some of the fatigue that might tell you to take a break. I am over 40, and over an inch or two just pay someone to deal with the snow.

I used to wonder how the US population could be so stupid to elect someone counter to their best interests, then threads like these remind me that people are really, really bad at logic and such.

Likely because it is not related to startups, technology, and so on. Probably not the best fit for HN.

You get in the box and tell me it’s not torture. I’ll wait.

And pointing this out adds to the discourse here how?

I’ve lived with enough nightmare roommates in my college experience to know many people probably have some sort of disability that precludes them from having a roommate.

> Viewers are already used to black bars, and we watch lower-resolution content constantly.

This is actually not as common as you think. It is common for "normies" to see 4:3 and think "This is not HD". People really, really hate black bars.

What's more surprising to me is that content providers don't keep stuff in 4:3 and just shove ads on the side.

This is the exact tech job market to start looking and have interviews/offers scheduled so you're not screwed when layoffs happen.

Solar radiation like solar wind, or sunlight? They don’t say.

I love pooping and having my dog visit. A little someone to talk to rather than scroll.
