I prefer to put my swap partition on CD-RW.
That way you'll know you've run out of physical memory when the cd-rom starts spinning up.
I hate that I kind of like this point...
Linux doesn't wait for you to be out of memory to swap-out pages.
You can set swappiness to 0
Oh, my bad! Goes to show I'm not familiar enough with the workings of swap space.
That's true for most people talking about swap online.
That's exactly why we need a CD ROM based solution to explore how swap space works.../s
I wonder if anyone has actually managed to do this
someone put swap on google drive
Android studio was asking for more ram, what else would i do?
Use dropbox like any pleb would
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man8/mount.davfs.8.html mount cloud memory as folder and put swapfile on it
Swap on S3. That's brutal
Download more ram became possible with one simple trick)
Mount Cloud? Any chance I can mount Tifa instead?
Personally enjoy my swap on an iPod
I think you meant DVD-RAM.
Sup, that would actually be possible.
Anything can be ram if you wait long enough
I use my whiteboard for swap.
A robot that writes on the board and a camera to then read it back in
i'm swappin' in ma ass ladies 😎
You could use a combination of printer and scanner as swap with the right driver...
Dangerously close to punchcards
Running out of Ram? Just 3D print more!
