What does it mean when "apps" have this much memory? Back in week 14 I "solved" the situation using a reboot. My problem is that I don't know how to find those "apps" using top or ps. Any ideas? And what does "apps" in this context even mean? #gnu #linux #admin #helpwanted
@kensanata The first machine I worked on had 8k of 32 bit wide core, and supported 18 concurrent users. The amount of memory we have available these days is just enormous.
@simon_brooke Definitely! ZX Spectrum 48K ahoi! And my dad told me they used to run an aluminum plant using 1KB, swapping stuff to tape in order to make space for new programs being loaded...
