  • And if you only ever used it for describing weather, that would be an argument to make. But you use it everywhere, I mean just search for the term “cooking temperature” on Google images and you’ll see a bunch of nonsense.

    But even using it just for weather, this is still not a good argument, as the perspective of hot and cold is very very subjective, and changes constantly. To me, an outside temperature if 10C feels freezing cold in September, but it’s reasonably warm in January. Or an inside temperature of 24C will feel amazingly cold on a 42C July day, but super warm on a -10C December night.





  • I was wondering if your tool was displaying cache as usage, but I guess not. Not sure what you have running that’s consuming that much.

    I mentioned this in another comment, but I’m currently running a simulation of a whole proxmox cluster with nodes, storage servers, switches and even a windows client machine active. I’m running that all on gnome with Firefox and discord open and this is my usage

    $ free -h
                   total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
    Mem:            46Gi        16Gi       9.1Gi       168Mi        22Gi        30Gi
    Swap:          3.8Gi          0B       3.8Gi
    

    Of course discord is inside Firefox, so that helps, but still…



  • About 6 months ago I upgraded my desktop from 16 to 48 gigs cause there were a few times I felt like I needed a bigger tmpfs.
    Anyway, the other day I set up a simulation of this cluster I’m configuring, just kept piling up virtual machines without looking cause I knew I had all the ram I could need for them. Eventually I got curious and checked my usage, I had just only reached 16 gigs.

    I think basically the only time I use more that the 16 gigs I had is when I fire up my GPU passthrough windows VM that I use for games, which isn’t your typical usage.




  • I remember people being upset by the ribbon back when office 2007 was released. Their complaints made sense until I sat down and used it. Found it to be a great improvement. I switched my libre office to the ribbon layout as soon as they added it. Because I don’t use it often, it’s great for finding stuff compared to looking through the menus.

    The nice thing about the LO implementation is also that they added a couple of varieties of the design, like the compact one which pushes things closer together so it’s not distracting.
