| guiverc | I was just reminded of the benefits of systemd-oomd existing in recent releases of Ubuntu... (this box doesn't have it, and I've only realized that's why box was becoming slow.. having remembered what I used to do pre-systemd-oomd days to self manage low-memory...) | 02:07 |
| sarnold | which process did you kill? | 02:09 |
| guiverc | browsers, both firefox & chromium.... an extension I believe causes memory-leak; as they're less problematic without extensions but I want the benefits of those extensions | 02:12 |
| guiverc | this box has only 8gb which maybe matters... | 02:15 |
| JanC | why would you want systemd to kill applications without warning? | 03:42 |
| guiverc | I can understand that logic... I've had issues with browsers for ages; and prior to focal cycle would self-manage; systemd-oomd just makes that a little easier/faster (it closes them down instead of me being forced to.. yeah it closes telegram & another snap as well on occasion too, for me it mostly picks on snap packages) | 03:59 |
| guiverc | on this box (without systemd-oomd) last ~12 hours before I realized I didn't have systemd-oomd & the difference.. I'd walk away & do other things, then return & continue later... systemd-oomd gives me control faster! (I'll keep myself ready to step in now so it's not 10-15 min delay before I can re-gain control..) | 04:01 |

| JanC | guiverc[m]: it could also close a browser with unsaved work though... | 19:10 |
| JanC | it would be much more useful if browsers had a mechanism to warn for pages that use exceptional amounts of memory... | 19:10 |
| JanC | e.g. I just closed a tab that was using 2 GiB(!) on its own | 19:10 |
| JanC | clearly something is leaking memory on that page... | 19:11 |
| JanC | probably some crappy script that loads new content every N sec/min but forgets to delete the previous content... | 19:13 |
| JanC | or maybe we need a shamelist of such sites and have browsers warn users whenever they visit such a site... | 19:15 |
| JanC | or more in general, have something in the desktop environment that can warn when memory issues are close to happening & suggest solutions... | 21:03 |
