Yes but my point is: if I download the AVX version instead of the SSE version of a package and that makes my 1000 servers 10% _quicker_ that is not the same as being 10% more _efficient_.
Because typically these modern things are a way of making the CPU do things faster by eating more power.
There may be savings from having fewer servers etc, but savings in _speed_ are not the same as savings in _power_ (and some times even work the opposite way)
in either case, what do you do? if you can't reach a box and it's otherwise safe to do so, you just reboot it. so is it just a matter of which situation occurs more often?
The thing is you can survive memory exhaustion if the oom killer can do its job, which it can't many times when there's swap. I guess the topmost response to this thread talks about an earlyoom tool that might alleivate this, but I've never used it, and I don't find swap helpful anyway so there's no need for me to go down this route.
Yeah, after the appropriate layers of VPN/Incognito/Tor/muted phone/etc I braved the link, and it turns out it's actually real, but that is still not a hostname I want connected to me in anyone's access logs more than once.
It's under the NON-VIOLENT PUBLIC LICENSE v5, which is probably not open source, but should be fine for personal use if you're not an arms dealer or prison warden.
There's more RSS readers than you can count. No need to pick a proprietary one with a sketchy license when there are tons of great open-source options.
The devastation those two fires cost is quite large, though. And, those are just the two I know about, the latest because of the linked article and the earlier one because I lived very near the fire line and know multiple people who lost homes.
What does Garmin gain by killing off an older device if the owner still pays for a subscription?
Also, it's not like this is a hypothetical question, they've been around for decades. They do have a track record you can refer to, instead of just blind faith.
It's not as though my cell phone will continue working forever. Nest discontinued Nest Aware. I've gotten bitten by this exact phenomenon more times than I care to admit.
I don't care about Garmin's reputation, it's simply a fact that having satellites talking to specialized devices requires a critical mass of subscriptions. There's a chain of vendors that need to all be on board to support all the hardware that keeps those devices online and updated, and at some point they will be discontinued. Probably sooner rather than later, especially when plenty of new phones make the functionality here redundant.
