"memory available" is very difficult to actually determine:
- is it physical memory on the machine?
- is it physical memory reported as "free" in /proc/meminfo?
- is it phy
Firstly, many thanks for Julian for starting this thread; I've had far
too much fun delving back into some SQL+jupyter notebooks today while
gathering a bit more info on this...
If you just want to go see or play with the data (and possibly expand it
with some more samples; I'd love to see som
Thanks for raising this discussion, Julian!

Hi all,
some time ago, the default compressor for initramfs was changed
from lz4 -9 to zstd -19. This caused significant problems:
- it is very slow
- it uses a lot of memory
The former is a problem for everyone, the latter means that
zstd just crashes on a Pi Zero.
This is an analysis of what

Hey again,

I expect that with this option set, we will find much fewer problems with
entanglement of library transitions, and in turn I hope developers will be
less frustrated by migration delays.
Right, I expect that to be the case. It's going to
