Not sure if it really worked like that, but it seemed to add some working memory. [20:21] [telegram] Do we have something like that in Linux? I am short on RAM all the time and thought, could I use a SSD to overcome that limitation? [20:22] [telegram] I guess I know the answer is 'no' (otherwise people would have 1TB of RAM quite cheap, right?). But why?

[20:43] [telegram] oh the old trick of the swap file!! I will take a look, maybe there is hope :) [20:43] [telegram] Thanks!!
