so is sysctl vm.swappiness's value just some arbitrary scaling factor?

yeah, it's a weight to determine whether to keep a user page or a page of disk cache when memory gets low.

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

How does OS X handle this?

xnu has a quality of service concept that's propagated between queues, threads, and tasks as they interact with the kernel

what does moom cause

i don't know if MOOM specifically causes any issues with Xcode

but any hacks that modify the behavior of the whole system run a high risk of causing stability problems, and not just with Xcode, because they usually wind up doing pretty janky poo poo to accomplish what they want

So he claims to knock on his neighbor's door, only to get beaten up and raped by the police, sent to the hospital, stitched up, threatened to commit suicide on Twitter, then screams at people who ask questions and calls the police a bunch of awful poo poo.

Linux is a hell of a drug.

e: not gonna lie, this is going to be much less interesting if it turns out to be a sec fuckup.

I want to believe he's trying to say "white people seem to also be victims of police brutality!!!11", but he's really doing it the wrong way because he's in shock.

But I know he's more probably just a racist poo poo.

I installed Fedora 23 and besides the fact that it doesn't play media or use eCryptfs out of the box, and the extra step of adding more SELinux policies, it was incredibly painless. No need to do anything to my home directory besides SELinux relabeling.

The only wrinkle is that the login keyring doesn't get unlocked when I login.

All in all, four penguins out of five. Gonna stay on the cutting edge until I bleed out.

oh no, having to run an os for adults, it'll clash with my anime desktop background

does anyone actually make a centos tweak that just tosses a reasonable desktop configuration on it, or is it actually ok as-is? i haven't kept track of this stuff for ages, but fedora is no longer representative of rhel right?

i like a lot of people only really run linux since i make software that deploys on rhel, so it seems a bit silly that i am running some other variant which exists for pretty nebulous reasons

at redhat, we deploy on rhel but most sane developers use fedora for development. if you want to develop on rhel, you're gonna need to ad so many unsupported repos that you might as well be using fedora.
