>he letted jewgle track what is being loaded into his RAM
wow when i get internet that has zero delay, no latency, and flawless 100% uptime, i'll check it out
>>719552120If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear
>>719552253>just let us build a data profile and track various analytics off of you good goy, you don't have anything to hide do you?
you don't need more than 62GB swap space
If all you needed was some disc space, then couldn't you make a disc partition on your hard drive to do the same thing? The heck is a "swap space?"
>>719551810you can, but latency would be shit and the data there wouldn't be encrypted
>>719552421They don't do that if you click off the sliders in your account
>>719552492Swap space is a partition in your hard drive where ram data is loaded once your actual ram is full.
>>719552253If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to shareIf you have nothing to share then you have nothing to contributeIf you have nothing to contribute then you were not a somebodyThen they came for someone else and you did not speak out, because you were not someoneThen they came for you and there was no one left to speak for you
>>719552120You can encrypt your swap.
>>719552698that probably increases latency even further
legit question do you still need swap in 2025? feel like if you run out of memory with 32gib you are already fucked
I just play games straight from ram because it's cheaper and faster than nvmes
>>719552775AES encryption is near realtime with any AMD/Intel CPU made in the past 10 years (so not one people on /v/ have).
>>719552691>obfuscation through confusionIf you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear
>>719552970>he still using AES256 when google can already crack it
>>719552827yes, many programs will actually kill themselves if they cant dump memory into swap even if there's available ram
>>719553015>google can warp time
>>719552698Not after EU passes their anti-encryption surveillance laws
>>719552827CP2077 will use up to 9 gigs of swap. Star Shitizen will consume over 40 if given enough resources. Both of these games consume more than just about anything else. Rimworld gets hungry too.
>>719553010>obfuscation through drowning in shit
>>719553172but way back in the day the recommendation was double your memory, considering most machines have 32+ using 64+ just for swap feels like a huge waste
>>719553261>EUDoesn't apply to me. That's already been shot down in the US with the whole PGP fiasco.
>>719552253Subhuman sheep
>>719553382i have 32gb and use only 4gb zram for swap, just to appease the programs that need to see the existence of swap
>if you don't have nothing to hide you don't have nothing to fear>they already know pretty much everything already so there's no point anywaywhich one is the worst? most of my friends parrot both takes btw
>>719552624Placebo
>>719553471I follow the 2x memory rule, but nothing really pages out.
>>719553357touche
>>719551810Why wouldn't this work?
>>719553609It technically does "work," but that swap data might be inaccessible at worst or laggy at best.
Surely everyone uses ZRAM, right? No one actually uses a swap partition, right?
>>719553609it works but your load screen taking 10 sec will now take 1 minute
>>719552253I have nothing to fear because I hide everything.
>>719551810ok but why not use your ssd
>>719552492wintoddler
>>719553609it's faster to just leverage your local storage at this point."faster" here meaning if you prefer your software taking 5 good minutes to open instead of 30.
>>719553401you're not allowed to eat that. delete it
>>719553824Because you should be using ZRAM.
>>719553824because you would be wearing out your SSD very quickly
>>719554259That would only happen if you're paging files 24/7. I've been using my SATA SSD as swap space since 2016 and it's still at 94% of life (Samsung 850)
>>719554325yes but that's usually what ends up happening on a windows install with default pagefile settings
>>719554421What ends up happening? If you're swapping gigabytes of data every day then you're bound to have awful performance and should upgrade your RAM. Swap typically only happens if you're literally full, which means you need a RAM upgrade, or if you're working with huge files like in a video editor. In either case, using SSD as swap won't cause any harm at all.
>>719554545Well, that's true, but it's not something someone should rely every day. It's mean to be an emergency thing to prevent the PC freezes
>>719554545>What ends up happening?aggressive swappingwindows defaults are insane
>constantly sending and receiving small amounts of data from one specific sourceyour ISP will fuck with you at some point if you're on anything but commercial-tier service
>>719554825It's never a thing you rely on, unless you're happy having absolute shit performance due to low RAM and constant swapping.>>719554880Like I said, I've been using my SSD as swap since 2016. Never touched the page settings. I've always had enough RAM - 16GB before, 32GB now. I see some pagefile usage but it's merely in the hundreds of MB. There is no aggressiveness here at all, nor any harm being caused to the SSD, otherwise it would have died long ago considering the TBW of these SATA drivers is utter shit.
>>719555038>considering the TBW of these SATA drivers is utter shit.how do I check that? I mean, is there a more precise tool to check my SSDs health other than their software, which just tells me "good/ok/bad"?>inb4 crystal diskI know that, I mean something that can actually tell the average TBW of the SSD remaining.
>>719555226>I know that, I mean something that can actually tell the average TBW of the SSD remaining.TBW is typically a "suggestion". SMART does have the amount of bytes that have been written and CrystalDisk shows you that. If you've written 100TB and the TBW of the drive is 600TB, in theory you should still have 500TB left before the SSD dies. They often last more than their official TBW though. I've seen SSDs last over TWICE their TBW. The life percentage that CrystalDisk shows you isn't calculated by CD either, it's information coming from the SSD's SMART.
>>719551810>>719553609Whatever your ping is to the google servers, even something low like 20ms, that is immensely, orders of magnitude higher than accessing memory of your system, still much higher than even setting swap on a shitty local drive.That will murder performance for any latency sensitive task like gaming, or perhaps anything really.
