I hitched my horse to just what I consider the basics--zip and unzip--and that has made it easy for me. But I've been stuck on those.

Extract anything:

tar xf <archive_file>

Create a tbz2 archive:

tar cjf <archive_file.tbz2> <stuff to put in it>

(And tossing in a -v is pretty universal, if that's your thing.)

Some day, instead of commenting on a reddit Lemmy post, I think I'll Google how to tell it to use .xz.

Ok, you know what? Today is finally that day. It's just capital -J instead of lower-case -j! That's easy enough to remember, I guess.

Stay by the phone always. We may need you to defuse a bomb someday.

governorkeagan ,

Never thought I'd learn how to use tar on a meme post.

Memes are one of the best source for Linux info 👍.

tar --version

WhoLooksHere ,

Or is it -v

tiredofsametab ,

Depends. Short options are probably safer if the particular version and flavor of tar are unknown.

So you either het version or verbose...slick AF 😏.

saigot ,

-v is verbose

As somebody with a System76 laptop, I'm feeling personally attacked.

It really depends on what you are doing with your system...

On my main PC I want the full Linux Desktop experience, including some Gnome tools that require webkit - and since I am running Gentoo, installing/updating webkit takes a lot of RAM - I would recommend 32 GiB at least.

My laptop on the other hand is an MNT Reform, powered by a Banana Pi CM4 with merely 4 GiB of memory. There I am putting in some effort to keep the system lightweight, and that seems to work well for me up to now. As long as I can avoid installing webkit or compiling the Rust compiler from source, I am perfectly happy with 4 GiB. So happy actually, that I currently don't feel the need to upgrade the Reform to the newly released RK3588 processor module, despite it being a lot faster and it having 32 GiB of memory.

Oh, and last, but not least, my work PC... I'm doing Unreal game development at work, and there the 64 GiB main memory and 8 GiB VRAM I have are the absolute bare minimum. If it were an option, I would prefer to have 128 GiB of RAM, and 16 GiB of VRAM, to prevent swapping and to prevent spilling of VRAM into main memory...

Now snap some pics of this kitty laying in different places all over this couch; you now have a new meme: Address Space Layout Randomization.

Reminds me of a comment I made a few days ago that some people thought was a joke but nope, I was being serious.

Veneroso ,

I sent you a little love via a reply. And an updoot.

32gb is just enough for a homelab

LovePoson ,
@LovePoson@lemmy.world avatar

I got a 64gb proxmox homelab though, its pretty neat!

Dianoga ,

I'm rocking a 128 GB Unraid system and it's pure joy.

Its also only like 25% utilized I think...

Heh. Nice. I mostly use mine with vgpu to have 4 remote gaming instances

About 10 years ago I was like "FINE, clearly 512MB of memory isn't enough to avoid swapping hell, I'll get 1 GB of extra memory." ...and that was that!

These days I'm like "4 GB on a single board computer? Oh that's fine. You may need that much to run a browser. And who's going to run a browser regularly on a SBC? ...oh I've done it a lot of times and it's... fine."

The thing I learned is that you can run a whole bunch of SHIT HOT server software on a system with less than a gigabyte of memory. The moment you run a web browser? FUCK ALL THAT.

And that's basically what I found out long ago. I had a laptop that had like 32 megs of memory. Could be a perfectly productive person with that. Emacs. Darcs. SSH over a weird USB Wi-Fi dongle. But running a web browser? Can't do Firefox. Opera kinda worked. Wouldn't work nowadays, no. But Emacs probably still would.

It really depends on the quality of software you are running? A SMTP, IMAP, Mumble, Photoprism, Jellyfin, bittorrent, Tor, Subsonic compatible server, who even remembers what else? Fine. One small Minecraft world? Boom you're dead.

devfuuu , an linuxmemes in you don't need more 4GB of RAM

Me using jvm based software for work and it barely being enough...

jaschen , an linuxmemes in you don't need more 4GB of RAM

I installed 64gb of ram on my gaming laptop and Chrome took all of it.

CafecitoHippo ,

I genuinely don't know how people are having their web browser use so much ram. How many tabs do you have open? Even at work where I run a commercial loan origination system and our core customer system in a web browser, at most I'll have 15-20 tabs open. I don't know how people are having dozens and dozens of tabs open that they're using 64 gb of RAM.

atlasraven31 ,

One user had 7500 tabs open at once.

jaschen ,

In my case, along with using my laptop as a regular PC, I also use this as my work computer. I contract for multiple companies and each window has tabs for each web software for every company, organized by consolidated tabs. So Google analytics, Crazyegg, tableau, and docs, calendar, etc. I also do web testing and each tab has tests.

I find that Edge does a better job at memory management so it's now my primary and I test on Chrome.

4GB of RAM: load a model into llama.cpp

Apple be like: our 4gb is like 16gb from others

maeries ,

That's right. Prize wise

Aux , an linuxmemes in you don't need more 4GB of RAM

If your Linux is not using 99% of RAM, then it's misconfigured.

Got it. Removing RAM modules now.

sudo , an linuxmemes in you don't need more 4GB of RAM

Running and LSP on a monorepo will destroy those 4gigs no problem.

lolcatnip ,

Monorepos are cancer. Too bad I have no choice about it at work.
