The default appears to be lzo-rle which was introduced by ARM devs as a kernel default back in March 2019 as a way to get better performance. They demonstrated a 27% improvement over lzo. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item=ZRAM-Linux-5.1-Better-Perform I would suggest getting some

Re: libssl or libssl-dev metapackage?

2019-12-11 Thread Mike Purvis
The openssl package is more than just a metapackage; it also contains some docs, manpages, and a few small utilities. However, it's also 900kb compared with 7MB+ for libssl-dev, so that one's probably the way to go: https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/openssl

As far as I know, libssl-dev is stable. The -dev suffix just means it provides development files, e.g. .h and .pc files. On any particular Ubuntu version, it only gets micro updates, and no experimental ones. - Dan On Wed, Dec 11, 2019 at 11:02 AM Brylie Christopher Oxley wrote: > Hello, > > I

libssl or libssl-dev metapackage?

2019-12-11 Thread Brylie Christopher Oxley
Hello, I am contributing to an install script that relies on libssl. The script is currently hard-coding for libssl release numbers and adding conditional checks for each published version. I have suggested that we instead use the libssl-dev or openssl metapackage. The concern with

Or even better: refactor the script and use zramctl. The man page even has samples and howtos to setup a zram swap. Em qua., 11 de dez. de 2019 às 09:01, Fábio Lima escreveu: > Package zram-config now defaults compression algorithm to lzo. > What about to change to zstd? > > Inserting into

zram-config defaulting to zstd

2019-12-11 Thread Fábio Lima
Package zram-config now defaults compression algorithm to lzo. What about to change to zstd? Inserting into line 21 of /usr/bin/init-zram-swapping would do it: `echo zstd > /sys/block/zram${DEVNUMBER}/comp_algorithm` zram-config is something real useful. In a context of inexpensive RAM, It is
