[01:41] good morning [02:07] 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...) [02:09] which process did you kill? [02:12] 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 [02:15] this box has only 8gb which maybe matters... [03:42] why would you want systemd to kill applications without warning? [03:59] 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) [04:01] 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..) === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ === lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotuspsychje [19:10] guiverc[m]: it could also close a browser with unsaved work though... [19:10] it would be much more useful if browsers had a mechanism to warn for pages that use exceptional amounts of memory... [19:10] e.g. I just closed a tab that was using 2 GiB(!) on its own [19:11] clearly something is leaking memory on that page... [19:13] probably some crappy script that loads new content every N sec/min but forgets to delete the previous content... [19:15] or maybe we need a shamelist of such sites and have browsers warn users whenever they visit such a site... [21:03] or more in general, have something in the desktop environment that can warn when memory issues are close to happening & suggest solutions... === pizza is now known as pineapplepizza === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ === pineapplepizza is now known as pizza === arraybolt3 is now known as abcdefghijklmnop === abcdefghijklmnop is now known as arraybolt3
