This time the ISP decided to drop the amount of bandwidth that it gives to the clients, the paying clients without any nice warning
Feast yourself on the amount of bandwidth I get for the ridiculously high amount of money in USD

My ISP gave me an interesting scare a couple of minutes ago. As you know if you do not want to pay them for a permanent IPv4 address, which I consider obsolete networking, they remotely reboot your gateway device and assign it a random IP out of one of their IPv4 pools.
This time it didn't take the usual long 30 to 90 Seconds to reboot the device and transfer credentials to obtain the new IP.
The Gateway got in an infinite loop somewhere and I had to Power it off, then had to wait 90 seconds to power cycle it before it took 180 seconds for the device to finally get the new IP.
Someone screwed up the login sequences for the xDSL devices of which the hashtag is in the toot and now we as the paying customer again have to pay for it in wasted time.
Luckily this power cycling off xDSL devices occurs only once in 6 weeks and usually I do not use the internet at that point in time.
In case you are wondering my Gateway uses obsolete technology, is forcibly assigned by the ISP and it's also cursed with a extremely low transfer speed.
I just included a speedtest after first draft of this toot
As you can see the speeds here are so low the connection is virtually unusable for anything where you have to move a big bites of data. They still manage to extort more than USD 30 a month for this connection
@Jeff swap is really useful because most programs are requesting RAM they don't really need and when you're using "all" your RAM, its nice to have the unnecessary bits in swap and leave RAM free for active use.
Swap is also used for hibernation.
There's a point at which you may have enough RAM to not care, but even with 48GiB, my system often has quite a bit swapped out because Chrome.

@FandaSin , díky za pochvalu rozhovoru. (Tvoje) zasahování vítám. Děkuju.
Připomělo mi to věci jako, že jsem 'dpkg-reconfigure console-setup' a zvolil nějaký font, u kterého byla poznámka, že chce #framebuffer . Od té doby například při zavření a otevření noutbúku mi to často na chvíli ukazuje krásné abstraktní pixel obrázky a pak to zčerná a pak se to vzpamtuje. Plus mi nějak připadá, že #ubuntu od té duby nějak "tuhne". Možná to souvisí s tím, že jsem zatím neudělal: #swap doporučuji 4 GB a na SSD. Asi je toho na IdeaPad 1 nějak moc...
Some things can't get broken. Yesterday, I discovered that the good old #Postcrossing still exists https://www.postcrossing.com/
Real paper postcards from all over the world that you swap. The full deceleration. In case your grandma hasn't told you about it yet and you look for something #connecting in this world. You can subscribe to the hashtag to find kindred spirits.

Partition #swap : par défaut, l’installation de #LinuxMint m'a mis une partition swap de 2,1 gigots. Comme j'ai 24 gigots de mémoire centrale, ça ne swappe strictement jamais. J'envisage donc de faire sauter cette partition inutile.
Juste une question : s'il s'avérait que j'ai eu tort de faire ça, sera-t-il possible et facile de revenir en arrière ?
Linux Swap Memory: Evolution, Tuning, and Modern Enhancements
Linux Swap is an essential component of the Linux virtual memory system. It provides an area on disk—whether as a dedicated partition or a swap file—that the operating system can use as overflow space when physical memory (RAM) is fully utilized.

#swap vs. #zram
Ich habe kurzzeitig (für vielleicht 4, 5 Tage) den Bedarf nach mehr RAM. Mein Rechner hat 32 GB, das reicht dann nicht, um ein 4k-Video nach AV1 umzurechnen, ich bekomme einen oom.
Würde mir ein zusätzliches Swapfile reichen? Und wenn ich sagen wir 16 GB für zram abzwacke, wieviel RAM würde ich wahrscheinlich gewinnen? Erstmal wären ja 16 GB weg.
Palestinian Resistance Swaps 3 Zionists Prisoners for 110 Palestinian Hostages
The Palestinian Resistance released three Zionist captives in the third round of the first phase of the Al-Aqsa Flood prisoner exchange deal, in addition to five Thai nationals.
Agam Berger, Arbel Yehud, and Gadi Mozes were handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in a public show of force and public solidarity with the Resistance.
Thai nationals Thenna Pongsak, Sathian Suwannakham, Sriaoun Watchara, Seathao Bannawat, and Rumnao Surasak were also released as part of the exchange process.
The occupation military later confirmed that the released of the Zionists captives were received by the occupation army and the Shin Bet in the designated area in the Gaza Strip.
Crowds filled the two handover locations, north and south of the Gaza Strip, including just outside martyred leader Yahya Sinwar’s destroyed residence in Khan Younis, where the Resistance flags were flown.
The al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades and the al-Mujahideen Brigades said their groups participated alongside the al-Qassam Brigades and the al-Quds Brigades in the handover process from in front of martyr Sinwar’s house, according to the brigades’ spokespeople Abu Ataya and Abu Bilal respectively.
The Palestinian resistance secured the release of 110 Palestinian prisoners from Zionist jails on Thursday as part of the third phase of the first stage of the prisoner exchange deal.
Thousands of Palestinians gathered at the Ramallah Recreational Complex in the occupied West Bank to welcome the freed detainees
Among those released were 32 prisoners serving life sentences, 48 others with various sentences, and 30 minors. Some of the released prisoners are returning to the occupied West Bank and al-Quds, while others are heading to Gaza.
Notably, among those freed was Zakaria Zubeidi, one of the prisoners who liberated themselves as part of Operation Freedom Tunnel in 2021, and Mohammad Atiya Abu Warda, who was sentenced to 48 life terms and regarded as one of the most high-profile prisoners to be liberated thus far.
Hamas had mentioned on Friday that they would release the four Israeli women soldiers who had been held hostage since October 7, 2023. This is the second exchange under the ceasefire deal between Israel and Gaza.
