Not even a dialog, just a variable in my.cnf that enables it, like setting ibps manually. (And there are other buffers that maria might benefit from some extra growth if it knows it has space)

Dynamic memory handling.

On a machine where MariaDb is the primary service, I’d like to be able to set a variable in the config to tell it to use all the available memory apart from a sensible buffer.

Something like: dynamic_memory_resizing_margin = 512M (Default would be 0, which would disable this behaviour)

On startup, Maria would log in it’s primary log something like: “Dynamic Memory resizing in effect.” as a reminder to admins that it’s behaving in a non-standard way. It would also log if it was unable to resize down to its minimum footprint because, for example, something else was using more memory.

Maria would then periodically (1 min?) check free OS memory and increases innodb_buffer_pool_size (and possibly other buffers) to make best use of the VM’s memory.

Reasoning: I manage quite a few MariaDb instances on some 90 vms. These vary hugely between tiny databases, and huge, extremely busy databases. VM resources vary between 1Gb of ram up to 64gb. Currently I need to periodically review every server and adjust IBPS manually based on previous history. (We’ve had a lot of problem with malloc libraries allowing mariadb’s memory use to grow beyond what it should, so have very conservative margins to avoid ooms)

(I understand Mysql 8 has something that promised similar to this but I’m not sure of the details as we don’t use it)

They’re often having to juggle with very low budgets, old equipment, low skill and zero support. And that’s before you add children…

I don’t doubt they jumped at the chance of someone helping out.

You’re talking as if “The linux community” was one single bunch of people.

Reddit isn’t Linux HQ and nor is Lemmy, nor is Facebook. #linux still active on IRC too, but not there either.

Recent convert to immich and hugely impressed by the software and project - one of FOSS’s shining stars. Good work everyone.

“Free speech” for these people has only meant for them.

Every morning we wake up with the ability to change who we are and how we act and react.

If you’re sincere, you’ll use that to improve who you are tomorrow.

If you’re truly sorry, you’ll do something extra to help others in some way and address the karma imbalance you’ve caused. Apologise to those people you hurt. (Trust me, it will mean something to them) Find ways to help others survive bullying. Make anonymous donations to the places you stole goods from.

I don’t think they make violins small enough to signify my empathy for him.

Others have answered why this isn’t a memory leak as such and is not as big a deal as you may think.

But if you are still concerned, you can reduce it, even if doing so is a bad idea.

1. You’re running it natively which means you’re probably using a systemd .service file to manage jackett. Research the .system setting “RuntimeMaxSec” - that will force a restart of the service every N seconds and prevent it growing. (This is a bad idea, but if you want to boss it around, you can)

2. Run it in docker and force a max memory setting. Docker will prevent it using more than you set. You can also restrict cpu usage this way too. docker-compose example goes something like:

deploy: resources: limits: cpus: 0.5 memory: 100m

Same. Been using debian stable for over two decades. It does everything I need,

At work we use EL distros in vms. All of them are backed up by image every 3 hours, so a non-booting system is generally best dealt with by simply restoring the whole vm from before the change.

I’m not opposed to atomics, but I don’t have the need and haven’t yet invested much time into learning their differences.

And you needed to find out the scanlines of your monitor before X would even display anything, and then that was a black and white grid. Then you needed to spent another day or two getting a window manager working.

Cloudflare are the cheapest domain registrar since they take zero profit from the sale. You will not find anywhere cheaper. (If you do, then look very carefully for hidden charges since that registrar will be subsidising your domains)

They’ve got some pretty useful free tools to help you manage it, and use it effectively too.

(For the Cynical, CF’s MD was very open about why they don’t charge for domains - it’s to get your goodwill. The only restriction is you can’t use third party nameservers for domains you host with them for free, you have to use CF’s. I’ve never found that a problem in many years of both private and commercial domain hosting there)

I did this and regretted it.

Many professional services withhold their number for obvious reasons. Turns out my doctor was trying to contact me and couldn’t.

I wonder what her political views are?

Great, but that doesn’t really help OP.

ecological compatibility,

The what now?

Absolutely.

These services are also used by many governments around the world and considered critical infrastructure.

Terrifying, right?

I’m not American, but CVE’s absolutely form the cornerstone of IT security, and are the trusted keystone of industry security globally.

Canonical is UK based, so scrub that.

But Redhat, Rocky, Alma are all owned by US legal entities and can absolutely be legally forced to do as you describe.

Technically blocked is something else, mind. We’re clever, resourceful and motivated people and US laws wouldn’t directly affect us.

However - you’re thinking small. US influence of IT is massive. Routers, servers, hardware of all levels. The most enterprise level software is US led. All of these things can be restricted, or tarriffed heavily, or sanctioned entirely. If the US wants to hurt the rest of the world, it just has to tell Broadcom to turn off vmware outside of America. Ditto Cisco, Ditto Dell, Ditto… etc etc. Sure, it would be illegal, but does the American government care about that?

Anyone telling you that “Y won’t happen because it’s unthinkable” clearly hasn’t been paying attention this year.

Good news. Tourism is far more important to Iceland than the few people who were still eating whalemeat, and they’re smart enough to realise how many people were turned away because of it.
