Yeah, I belatedly realised that.

Apparently Debian ranks lower than the distros that are based on it.

What ranking are you using to arrive at this conclusion?

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

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.

Why do you see this as USA only?

Because the announcement doesn’t use UTC to announce the event and there’s absolutely no chance that anyone outside the US knows when some random timezone is, or if daylight savings is active in that timezone or not at the time of the event.

The announcement also tells me that the organisation is run out of the USA, not a place universally known for its inclusivity or global consideration. Reinforced by a text only image with no alt text.

I think a tech workers coalition is an interesting and potentially useful idea, but the announcement doesn’t even contain a URL to the organisation.

Which leads to my conclusion, a USA only affair.

I’d be delighted to be wrong, but that’s what the announcement conveyed to me.

So … USA tech workers only?

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.

Defenestration in … three … two …

Where is this utopia?

Look at tailscale.

You mean like the Nepalese government did?

How much waste they take up with them?

If it’s more than 8kg, I’m guessing that the only missing requirement for the refund is to increase the number to make it that every climber brings down more than they take up.

In other words, put every climber on the scales before they go up and unless they weigh more when they come back, they don’t get their money back.

Bonus reward for each extra kg.

So … now we have plausible gibberish … also known as Autocorrect on Steroids … that includes corporate sponsorship… seems like we’re moving closer to the true meaning of advertising with every iteration.

Next we’ll be asked to pay for this feature … oh wait.

I can’t wait until the Assumed Intelligence bubble finally bursts and takes with it some of the largest companies in the world … perhaps this is how we finally address climate change.

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.

Because they’re all copying each other’s homework?
