  • What I don’t understand is why there is so much resistance to the idea of having swap plus a separate hibernation file that is only enabled on demand. I finally got it working on my laptop, but it took a Lot of fiddly obscure manual configuration (which I wish I had documented - I don’t just mean setting the offset in grub) and it still didn’t play well with hybrid sleep, etc.

    This is the only way to have hibernation that works at any memory pressure.

    The original post used the word bugs, not insects. (Although the pic does seem to show only insects, I’d interpret that as a stock image fail)

    Bugs are such a wide group already that to me it seems reasonable to include branches separated by 400 million years of evolution, much the way ‘fish’ is such a wide group that by a scientifically reasonable definition it can include all vertebrates as a subgrouping.








  • Me.
    A lot has and continues to go wrong, but mostly self-repairing. At some point some failure will be unrecoverable, but hopefully that’s a long time in the future.

    An even better answer might be my cats. The small number of repairs that need professional assistance are cheaper than the same issues would be for myself. However I don’t expect them to last as long, unfortunately. Even though I got them very nearly brand new a few years ago.


  • As another comment said, the wave behavior when not measured is hard to explain if one thinks of photons as little particles that classically would need to go through one slit or the other. It seems each one goes through both slits and self-interferes.

    And when measured, sure enough they act like little particles that need to go through one slit or the other.
