I misread this as a 12kT pork impact and was wondering how the pigs got into space.

You have 8GB RAM and 1 hard drive. Given the symptoms you described, I'm wondering if your system is relying heavily on swap due to memory constraints? Your swap partition being on the same drive as your system and data files would mean that access to swap could be impacted by other disk I/O and lead to slowdowns or freezes.

2 solutions to this. Increase system RAM and/or Install a second hard drive and move swap partition to this new drive.

If you knew the internet was going to be shutdown, damaged, or colossally enshittified what software would you archive for use locally and use for a neighborhood/town mesh network? Why? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I have started to do this and I'm using Docker to host Kiwix. I'm currently using it to provide offline versions of Wikipedia, medical guides and tutorials for various programming languages. My plan is to put essential apps and information on an RPi and provide a broadcast hotspot where anyone can access the info.

I also live on top of a hill, so I'm saving up to put together a solar powered Meshtastic repeater that I can mount to my aerial pole.

Wireless Application Protocol. I can no longer say on my CV that I 'worked on WAP in the early 2000s'.

I find the omission insulting and I'm not even French.

I like its undeniable Frenchness 🇫🇷🗼Not so much the practicality

My Advanced Retro Simulation Environment brings all the boys to the yard (startrek.website)
 

I'm proud to reveal my Advanced Retro Simulation Environment which you're all going to be playing with soon. My A.R.S.E. is going to be so big that it will take dozens of magazines to cover it.

The best thing about my A.R.S.E. will be the content that comes out of it. Not a mere trickle, like for other platform launches. No, there will be a raging torrent of content, all exclusive to my A.R.S.E.

With it's evolutionary industrial design drawing from nature, the curved profile of my A.R.S.E. will be a feast for the eyes.

Get your hands on my A.R.S.E. on April 1, and be the envy of your friend group.

Selfhost alternative to sharedrop.io? (startrek.website)
 

I make use of sharedrop.io to quickly share files between phones and computers on my LAN. Does anyone know of a self-hosted alternative, preferably containerised with Docker?

[HELP] Recommendations for portable setup with keyboard and mouse? (startrek.website)
 

I've had my deck for 2 years now and it's been my main gaming device since the day I got it. I take it on trips and use my 3rd party dock and controller to hook it up to whichever TV is at my location.

My only regret is that this way I'm limited to controller-only games, and I really want to play some of the keyboard + mouse games in my library.

Whichever kb + mouse I buy needs to be as portable and lightweight as possible, but still functional with near full-size keycaps (chiclet keys are ok).

I have a folding Bluetooth keyboard, but the build quality is absolute trash.

Any recommendations will be gratefully added to my research list!
