Again, this is not a boomer issue. I was told the same thing by Silents. I've only moved left-er.

ZRAM is insane
Reply in thread
I used zram + swap for years. I dedicated 25% of my memory to zram. The problem is that zram would get filled with infrequently used data, and disk swap would get the frequently used data. Once that happens everything slows down.
Zswap tries to fix that be creating a compressed swap buffer in memory. Older/less used data will get written to disk, but fresh/frequently used data will stay in the compressed ram buffer. That's my understanding, at least. I don't remember how to query Zswap usage stats.

TIL The Katy Freeway in Houston, TX was expanded in 2008 to 26 lanes (one of the widest in the world) and 5 years later had longer peak travel times than before the expansion

27 is an odd number, do I assume the center lane switches direction for rush hour. That's sure to fix it.

It's a compressed ram disk (virtual block device) that is often used for swap.

What makes you think that? I thought prison was a breeding ground for Nazis.

Who knows what Putin told them to get them to visit him? "All is forgiven & I want you to run the ministry of defense".

The Kremlin has been paying for Wagner from the beginning. Wagner has always belonged to Putin. It's mercenary status has just been a mechanism of plausible deniability.

I'm pretty sure the state of Kentucky will let anyone get a card.

The Kentucky state library will give anyone a virtual library card. I also have cards from a couple nearby counties that have cooperative agreements with my local library. Libby makes you search each of them separately.

A very good journalist
Metropolis is in the United States & Clark Kent is a US citizen, therefore the CIA cannot touch him. They just informally encourage the FBI to keep an eye on him.

The solution is stop upping population density in population dense areas.
This is completely backwards. Increasing population density means people can afford to live closer to work & resources. Low density means they have to drive 50 miles a day to get anywhere, and thus need more lanes.
