Inside a janitors closet, behind 24 firewalls, is a single SPARCStation serving the internal financial information for GE.

A single chair is in the converted closet for Hank to sit when they (it could be one person, or three working in shifts, no one is really sure. But they respond to “Hank”) aren’t putting out the most recent fire. The pile of used extinguishers are replaced daily. Hank likes his job. Hank doesn’t like you. If you’re lucky enough and get access through the 7 biometrically locked doors to exchange the extinguishers, it’s been said you can hear mumblings from inside the closet about “uptime”.

On September 30th, 2018, John Flannery, the CEO at the time, asked why this was all necessary and considered replacing this system with something more modern.

When windows uses 6-8GB at idle, there’s a lot of room there for Linux to catch up with helper programs.

What was the outrage? That windows 11 needs a fuck load of RAM? I would be outraged that they suggest 16 GB is enough for gaming on 11.

I have 16 GB on my work computer and is eating up 7 GB with outlook, teams, a single page word document, and a spreadsheet open

I don’t need to reboot, I can leave it on however long I want. I just don’t want to figure out which services need restarting, so they all get restarted.

I honestly thought this was a joke before reading the article.

I’m using antix on a 23 year old laptop. Except for web browsing, it’s quite snappy with an IDE SSD (is actually an nvme drive with ide adapter, which is such a waste of that drive, but it’s 2230 and 128GB, so not very useful anywhere else)

Pretty much any desktop that offers lxqt during installation works pretty well in my experience. I ran tumbleweed with lxqt for a while on a 4 core atom with 4 GB ram and it was quite smooth.
