Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • Is it actually being used?

    My guess it just doesn’t evict stuff from before the suspend, starts re-loading stuff after the resume, which makes the apparent amount “used” go up.

    On a normal linux system, “free” RAM will over time drop down to zero, as the kernel puts the extra memory available to use. But it doesn’t mean there isn’t room to evict less-needed stuff if necessary.

    AFAIK linux only starts actively evicting RAM once it fills up.

    Like the other guy mentioned, drill down and see if you can find the actual program causing the problem.





  • lol

    If you watch any interviews with Stubb, where he is asked about Trump, he gives answers that would please Trump.

    But if you watch him talk about anything else, you can tell Stubb is way too smart to consider Trump anything other than a bumbling fool. It’s incredible that he’s able to clue people in, while even in person the idiot himself doesn’t realize.

    He’s trying to walk the line of pleasing Trumps ego, while getting real work done.

    He’s literally just been saying stuff along the line “here’s what president Trump needs to do (insert sane policy), but he’s so smart he doesn’t need me telling him that”.

    And apparently it works.





  • I haven’t found anything that is quite like Macrium. Mostly, because something that works the same way is a bad idea on linux. Because as you suspect, an image backup cannot be done while the partition being imaged is live.

    Macrium creates restorable images of your entire boot partition or disk, as-is, which can then be restored onto the same, or an entirely different, disk.

    This isn’t really something you can do in linux, with a system that is live. Hence, partition images should be done offline, when the given partition isn’t booted.

    That said, everything that matters can be backed up simply by copying the relevant files. For this, I use Kopia.

    As for making sure you always have a bootable system, for this I use Timeshift on btrfs.

    For MS office, you might try winapps. Sounds like what you’re hoping for.


  • Yes? Exactly?

    Which is why I’m so fucking confused by you telling me I have nothing to worry about. I’m using “small IPs” to refer to those parts of Ubisoft. People, studios, and art, alike.

    Why in the world would I be worrying about whether the relevant legal constructs continue to exist on paper? That OBVIOUSLY isn’t going anywhere, what’s at risk is the relevant studios, and people, behind the art.

    I’m literally commenting on an article about potential layoffs. When I said I’m scared for Ubisofts smaller IPs, I’m obviously referring to the possibility that the people that work on them might lose their jobs.
