@qwertydotplus@mastodon.social I guess I'm lucky on my personal machines in that I can use economical amounts of memory (8 or 16 GB) and generally only use about half of that in daily activities. Let's check my nas.. total: 3.7Gi used: 489Mi free: 2.6Gi shared: 1.2Mi buffers: 882Mi available: 3.2Gi SWAP: 0B SWAP AVAILABLE: 976Mi Obviously using swap there wouldn't buy me anything. It gets to be a whole other professional thing, of course, when sizing servers. Luckily there are metrics.
