Windows shows memory used for cache as free. Linux per default shows it as used.

Ah thanks for the explanation!

Also I would disable swap, it is no longer 2004.

I'm using Bazzite as of recently, and learnt the first day not to touch the system. Anyway, it's zram not an on disk swap file.

The about:processes page doesn't even add up close to that:

Oh good question. Now I'm wondering. 44+35 is bigger than the 67GB I have, but normally I would expect pretty much all the RAM to hold cached data, where some is also marked as free in case a process needs it.

Can someone explain this memory screen, as your question has raised many more for me!

Nope, I don't have a windows VM at all.

I had one stick of 16GB and it was not enough. I was going to get a second stick, but said screw it and got two 32GB (it's a laptop and only has two slots).

Thanks for being here!

28!

Interesting! I have gone through ok on (up to date) firefox. Up to 20 responses now!

The article has been updated and now says:

A spokesperson said one of the provider's core ethernet routers serving the Wellington region experienced a temporary outage.

So they probably did just call up Steve and get him to turn it off and back on again 😅

I'd actually be interested to know more about the infrastructure they have. If one router going down can cause an outage to 90% of UFB customers across Wellington, Kapiti, Hutt Valley, Palmerston North and through to Napier, that kinda sounds pretty crazy.

I'm back online now too. Probably just had to call up Steve and get him to turn it off and back on again.

Highly likely. Commercial systems have been internet based for years. Residential landlines are very often over the internet. Spark has been moving people to 4G routers for home internet, with landlines plugged into them for VoIP. There is a plan to decommission the copper network by 2030: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/business/557618/copper-network-retirement-a-step-closer-what-you-need-to-know

Thanks! We already have 4 completed responses!

Thanks for letting me know! This should now be fixed to open in a new tab.

In case you missed it - I have just posted the survey for our 2024 census: https://lemmy.nz/post/23814399

I was reading (admittedly just the article title...) about how over 50% of voters support the government's plan to boot opposition MPs out of parliament for weeks. It made me wonder what context they give people before asking.

If the question was phrased "Do you support a punishment for Te Pāti Māori MPs that is 7 times harsher than the most severe punishment ever handed down in parliament?" do you think people would still support the governments' actions?

Many of the .ee communities are in the process of migrating, so hopefully the list can be updated with their new homes.

But then it's not a burger, it's a pile of food presented as a stack.

I'm pretty sure my Dad got the idea for growing bananas from someone he knew successfully growing them in Taranaki, but it does seem pretty tricky that far south. I was also the one who eventually had to dig the plant out, would not recommend.

That plantation you linked looks awesome!

Though I'll try not to think too hard about why you might be able to grow tropical fruit in NZ now when you couldn't before. I'm guessing over time we will see this possible further and further south.

It was hard to think of an example! I just thought if I lay my dog on his back, then folded each leg in, then bent forward in half, I reckon he'd look something like at attempt at folding a fitted sheet.

I just fold it like you're folding a... dog? pillow? It doesn't look like a normal folded item but an outside observer can tell that folding is what was attempted, and I think that's what counts.
