Yes, with oom_score_adj[0], which I've mentioned several times. Setting it to -1000 for a process protects it from OOM killing. 0. http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/proc.5.html

Nope, just a rule of thumb. :-)

Thank you for sharing this. There's an interesting conversation thread in the comments on that post. It's a little over my head, but my takeaway is that with the kernel change, in an OOM event, MySQL is unable to be swapped out du

No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS comes out of the box without AUFS and Device Mapper, and that you either need to enable one or the other before installing Docker or prevent Docker from

My personal rules of thumb for Linux systems. YMMV. * If you need a low-latency server or workstation and all of your processes are killable (i.e. they can be easily/automatically restarted without data loss): disable swap. * If you ne

If you have an SSD, try setting vm.swappiness to 1 (not 0).

by mwpmaybe 10y ago
Were you using Device Mapper purposefully, or just because you couldn't get a more typical storage driver to work? The general setup instructions recommend either 1. installing linux-image-extra and using AUFS (for kernel versions <

I have (or had, I guess) an 11 year career in Fortune ~100 finance and healthcare. Agreed on all points. However, they're already experimenting with Debian, Ubuntu LTS (just not 16.04), kernels, custom AMIs, and different Docker versio

I am neither a Docker expert nor evangelist, and I have my own gripes and frustrations with it, but this article is full of misinformation and FUD. To wit: > CoreOS is an operating [system] that can only run Docker and is exclusively in

Are you sure that was specific to Ubuntu and not general to Debian?

Yeah, that's... not practical. What if they upgrade the 1024 plan to 1536? (That has actually happened, by the way.) Now you're extracting the number and comparing it to a range? > Give me the plan where the RAM is >= 1024 a

That's interesting. Thank you. I realize that I am doing that thing where you try to rationalize your preconceived notions, but here are some high-level observations: * Looks like there are normally setup fees associated with provision

Just being able to programmatically provision a server at a moment's notice—even in normal day-to-day (i.e. non-catastrophic) situations—is a critical tool in my toolbelt. You can take a snapshot of a VM, you can move it to a different

And one server will only ever be one server. For many deployments it makes more sense to have several smaller nodes distributed between different geographical areas than one big node in one datacenter. And/or multiple nodes in a a sing

What is your definition of a "root server" and where do you rent them? Do you mean a dedicated server? I've checked a few providers and none of them come close the costs/benefits you're listing. OVH's EG-16 (4c

Well, they've changed in the past... it's fine as long as the plans corresponding to the PlanIDs never get smaller or more expensive. This particular change violates that assumption and so is definitely not fine.
170.
by mwpmaybe 10y ago
PSA: If you're using the Linode API, the 2048 plan is now PlanID 2 and the new 1024 plan is now PlanID 1. The other PlanIDs were incremented by one as well. I wish they hadn't done that, but there it is.

I think it makes good business sense. It comes less than a year after they bumped the $10/mo instance to 2 GB RAM. They must have realized they were losing market share just by dint of there being no $5/mo option to compete with D

Those are legacy options and to the best of my understanding are not available on new accounts or after switching legacy accounts to hourly billing.

It's made affordable for most people because it's heavily subsidized by the primary's employer or the government. Without a subsidy it can cost anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand per month.

You've been saying company, and the GP set the context of company, but okay, fine. Big organization: company, not-for-profit, union, government, etc.

You're still assuming a big company. Imagine you work for a startup and have to purchase insurance on an exchange.

An unsubsidized silver plan (i.e. on an exchange) for a family of four can run into the thousands.

Oh good grief, that happened to me by accident once and I had no idea what was going on. I think I had to restart the game! Thank you for clearing up this mystery for eight-year-old me.
