STOP DOING SWAP PARTITIONS

HARD DRIVES WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE RAM

YEARS OF LINUX SYSADMINNING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for going beyond CLOSING A FEW TABS

Wanted to avoid the OOM killer anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called ZRAM

"Yes please give me a dedicated 64GB logical volume of SWAP. Please give me unresizable block devices trapped at the end of my disk." - STATEMENTS DREAMED UP BY THE UTTERLY DERANGED

LOOK at what Neckbeards have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the fdisk and GParted Live USBs we built for them. (This is REAL PARTITIONING, done by REAL LINUX USERS):

# mkswap /dev/nvme0n1p3
# echo  /dev/nvme0n1p3 none swap sw 0 0 >> /etc/fstab
# swapon -a

"Hello I would like to torture my SSD's FTL because I left three Electron apps open."

They have played us for absolute fools.

Any gotchas I should look out for migrating from #Linux to #NetBSD? Or suggestions for helpful guides?

For desktop primarily.

#AskFedi

I just lost my job today, so here we go..

I'm a ~30 years Sysadmin/DevOps/Server Shepard/Graybeard whatever its called now UNIX nerd.

Looking for work doing UNIX'y stuff. I mostly do automation, and have avoided working with AI and Kubernetes (though I have a bit of k8s experience at two jobs, I just prefer "the old way")

Chef, Puppet, Cfengine, Ansible, Shell scripts, etc.

I've built Linux distributions, and automation tools. Having worked at Redhat, TurboLinux, Penguin Computing, Salesforce, and Chef.

Built and maintained monitoring systems, checks, and lived the on-call life.

Built and managed CI systems, and Pipelines.

I've written and maintained software in Ruby, Python, and Shell. I've dabbled in just about every other programming language you'll find on a UNIX system.

I have spent a lot of time with *BSD, Solaris, IRIX, and Linux, and to a lesser extent HPUX, and AIX.

If its sysadmin work on a UNIX, I've likely done it.

Hey #FreeBSD folks! 🐡

I recently, as of yesterday, installed FreeBSD on my ThinkPad E14 Gen 4, and will document my journey coming from Debian GNU/Linux over to something that is BSD.

I’ve had some knowledge of FreeBSD from past interactions here on Mastodon, as well as from YouTube and other social media platforms. My ThinkPad also has two ssd drives, so I decided to wipe one of them and install FreeBSD, and using it as my daily driver.

I used to be on kolektiva.social a while back. Not sure how long I’ll stick around on this one either, but I came across bsd.cafe while reading through some FreeBSD documentation and figured I’d join.

Feel free to boost me if you remember me, or not, no worries!

Also, here are some relevant and useful links to check out:
