  • You will always need some sort of oom killer unless you have endless memory (or swap space, which comes with its own problems in the form of grinding your system to an almost halt). Imagine all memory is in use, then some system critical task (or even the kernel itself) needs memory as well. If the kernel can’t kill a less important process to free memory in such a situation you might just crash your system.


  • Hearing Snow by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers while my mom is folding clothes (thats a very specific one). I have no idea how old I was exactly but I remember it vividly. The funny thing is that I didn’t understand a word of the song as german is my native language. Recently I stumbled across the song again and suddenly, as if steuck by lightning, I remembered this weird mundane situation as if it was yesterday. The human mind is so weird.












  • I had the absolute pleasure to sit in BOTH of these Panthers at Innsbruck airport last year.

    They even startet the engines and drove out of the hangar with us inside and gave us a little water salute. Absolute pleasure, I felt like a little kid!

    I do have a video of the spray, sadly there were many people around and I don’t want to show their faces. Needless to say these things shoot water like a rocket!





  • Well we’ve had binary packages for ages for big builds like firerox and default is still to use source packages.

    Still I’m really excited for this, having the whole, or big parts of the package tree, will speed up initial installations by a lot on weak arm systems for example. Now initial installation can be done quick and later you could still compile stuff yourself for the full gentoo experience.
