On Windows, I used to work off of a usb thumb drive for portability. My Logitech mouse, and whole system would randomly dramatically slow down. Moved to Linux Mint. Working off the hard drive I had no problems. I needed some data off that thumb drive yesterday, and fifteen minutes after I plugged it in, random slowdowns just like on my Windows machine. Not going to lie, on Windows, I always blamed it on the Logitech mouse.

All programmers work for California now. They pass a stupid law, and we get to work on it. I guess this will just move our employer up the chain.

To be fair, timers are hard.

It's offers a syntax similar to a no-build VUE. This gives you a more standard, modern way of doing things that a lot of people already know how to do. And it does it without generating many thousands of files and dependencies just to create a "hello world" page. Most anyone that could figure out VUE code should be able to look at AlpineJS code and figure out what is going on. I could very easily use vanilla JavaScript to do everything. Good luck on you figuring any of it out in a timely manner if you inherited any of the code.

I'm mostly doing database CRUD with it. I'm really impressed with how easy it is to make a somewhat complex form with a minimal amount of (mostly clean) code.

That said, I do not really like the inline coding that they push in all the documentation. I much prefer separating the code using Alpine data(). It's much easier to debug.

No build with AlpineJs is now the future. I've been saying for many years that creating a "hello world" page that generates tens or even hundreds of thousands of files is kind of nuts. Every one of those files could be a security issue.

This seems to be Linux's Microslop. Not only did they add it to Systemd, they banned users on Reddit for just talking about it. I laughed when Microsoft banned users for using the term Microslop. Not so funny now, I guess.

We need a PAC and to primary any politician that voted for these laws to begin with.

That question has a lot of ways to go in. A swap file on Linux or Windows running in my vm? Also, I have a new PC with 32 gig of RAM. I allocated half to the vm when it is running. This kind of brings me to why I asked this question to begin with. I have Stacer installed and I've never seen my memory usage go over halfway (Stacer graph) when I have the vm running. I pretty much always have my vm running, because I need it running. I shouldn't be running out of memory. If it shows my 16ish gigs of ram used when the vm is fired up, then I should have 16ish gigs of ram that I've never seen being used.

I really wouldn't think the vm is running out of memory. There is 16 gig allocated and all it has running is IIS server, VisualStudio, and Firefox. I rarely open much more than that on it. I never browse on Windows' Firefox. It's just open because VisualStudio opens a browser while I'm debugging. At most, the only other programs running on the vm are File Manager and Notepad.

If I close the vm, Stacer shows my memory usage at 11 Gig. That means the vm should be using close to 6ish gig when it is fired up (according to Stacer).

Note: Yeah, I'm not able to check Stacer after it hangs up. I do spot checks with it from time to time. Like I said, about 50% of the ram is being used when my vm is fired up. No matter what I'm doing, I've never seen more than that used.

Thanks,

If banks were really serious about security, more of them would offer yubikey support. None of mine do, unless they just brought it online.

Just moved to Linux and wanted to test an api. Opened Software Manager and installed Resonance. It looks like there are Mac and Windows versions. It was simple and clean, and did what I needed to get done. I have to admit, when I clicked to install, I was wondering what kind of hoops I was fixing to run into to use it. None. There were no hoops.

So, it just froze on me about 10 minutes ago. I can drop to the console. The vm manager icon did not disappear from the menu bar, so I was wrong about that. Everything freezes. I cannot interact with any browser or any app. The mouse pointer did change from a pointer to hand over a link or something at one point, but never changed back. After dropping to the console, I eventually just had to reboot and restart everything. The best way to describe it is, someone replaced my desktop with an image, and the only thing that still works is moving the mouse around.

I'm thinking it's been about a week or so since it did this last. Oh, and I was poking around on a web page when it did it. Web browsers are always involved, but not specifically any one browser.

I have a pc that's only a few months old, wiped, and with a pretty much default install of LM. I have 32 gig of ram. Unless there is something about Stacer I don't understand, it always shows half of the ram used (when I have the vm running). The graph never moves. I pretty much always have the vm running, because I absolutely have to have Windows with an IIS server on it (work related).

The entire system hangs. The only way I can recover is to reboot. The screen freezes, but the mouse pointer still moves around. I can click on things, but it does nothing. The keyboard does nothing.

I'm pretty bad about keeping a lot of tabs open in a couple of browsers. Almost every time it hangs involves opening a new tab in Firefox or Chromium. Sometimes youtube is involved, but I don't think every single time does.

Like I said, the last time it hung, I just happened to notice that the vm manager icon had disappeared from the menu bar, like it had exited when it hung. I'm going to check for that the next time it hangs.

Luckily, it only hangs about once every week or so. Lately, it has been going almost two weeks. It's really not that big a deal, but it would suck if it was doing it every few days.

Thanks,

 

Moved to Mint months back. I had to install Win10 in a kvm for a couple of things impossible on Linux. I allocated 16 gig of ram to the kvm. I can't really find anything on how that works, exactly. According to Stacer, I have a consistent 16 gig of ram being used, but that's between a running Win10 kvm and all of my other running Linux programs. I've never seen my system memory use move higher or lower than 16 gig of ram when the vm is running. Again, that's the kvm + normal Linux programs.

If I allocated 16 gig of ram to the kvm, shouldn't my memory usage be over 16 gig or ram with other Linux programs running?


About once a week, maybe two weeks, I open a new tab on a browser and it hangs my system. Nothing works but the mouse pointer.

I initially thought of a memory leak with Firefox, but it will also do it opening a new tab in Chrome.

The last time it hung up, I think I noticed the virtual machine manager icon was missing from the menu bar. I'm waiting for it to hang up again to verify this.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
