In my experience, as little as possible.

The more you pack into it, the more you carry around, the higher the risk if it’s lost, or worse, stolen, not to mention the more it affects wear and tear on your clothing.

Less is more!

Start your own “musings” community and have as much fun as you like.

Pretty sure that you can use it with a CloudFlare custom error page.

So … a company that despite decades of effort, can’t make a competitive web browser with all the help in the world, is now going to distract itself with even more non-essential rubbish with absolutely zero chance of success … can’t wait to hear what the excuse is going to be when this CEO leaves to pursue other opportunities.

Meanwhile the Assumed Intelligence Ponzi scheme will have collapsed, taking with it a significant portion of the economy, let alone the ICT industry.

This timeline needs some tweaking…

Build a website on your preferred platform, you’re already using WP.

Create a static version of it. There’s plugins for exactly that purpose.

Put the static files on a web host, I use s3, but you can use whichever you prefer.

When you update the site on WP, run the static extraction again and update your actual site.

This is the job for the OS.

You can run most Linux systems with stupid amounts of swap and the only thing you’ll notice is that stuff starts slowing down.

In my experience, only in extremely rare cases are you smarter than the OS, and in 25+ years of using Linux daily I’ve seen it exactly once, where oomkiller killed running mysqld processes, which would have been fine if the developer had used transactions. Suffice to say, they did not.

I used a 1 minute cron job to reprioritize the process, problem “solved” … for a system that hadn’t been updated for 12 years but was still live while we documented what it was doing and what was required to upgrade it.

Linux aggressively caches things.

4 GB of RAM is not running out of memory.

If you start using swap, you’re running into a situation where you might run out of memory.

If oomkiller starts killing processes, then you’re running out of memory.

No, “the due and payable” kind.

I suspect that the house of cards will come tumbling down as soon as one of the companies in this massive Ponzi scheme fails to pay their bill.

In the Netherlands this is common knowledge, there’s even a nursery rhyme about it:

As long as you’re comfortable and the client pays … Win!

So the net of obligation, ownership and mutually assured destruction continues to tighten?

At some point this is going to explode … right?

Wow.

That’s some list.

Do you know all those songs, or is there a (substantial) gap between expectations and reality?

The article is light on detail. No actual list of who’s in the song.

Here’s the full list of 119 references:

You clearly didn’t watch the MythBusters episode dedicated to this topic considering all its various lighting technologies.

The takeaway: Turn off the lights when you leave the room, unless you’re going to be back within a fraction of a second.

What you described as personal habits seem appropriate for participation in polite society while being examples to teach in a world beset by climate change.

AFAIK Google owns the vast majority of advertising online and is the one making all the money.

1/1/1

I joined Reddit because it was an open and moderated collection of communities … then after the blackout due to the API changes, moderators were sent packing and any sense of community that had been created was destroyed.

I joined both Mastodon and Lemmy and I’m glad I did.

The communities in both are nascent, but slowly growing, and that seems like a place I’d like to be.

After Twitter became Xitter, I also joined Bluesky but that feels much more like people ranting and venting, less about making communities.
