8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple
No, but should you want to enable it, you can install systemd-zram-generator.

As someone else mentioned, for many cases this will be a performance increase, not decrease. Compressing infrequently used memory frees up more memory to be used for filesystem caching among other things.

Anyone using ZRAM in 23.05?
23.05 replaced the old zramSwap option with the new environment.systemPackages.pkgs.zram-generator package. The new package also requires a configuration file in /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf.

How does Swap memory work in fedora
To the file zram-generator.conf, if my memory don't fail this file is located at /usr/lib/systemd/zram-generator.conf, but I can be wrong. You can find more information on the fedora zram options and the zram-generator.conf location here: https://github.com/systemd/zram-generator

Arch linux randomly freezes, especially when playing a youtube video or performing other video-related workload
as u/anoobis2 said, what about your swap? I suggest you to use ZRAM it's a boon for this kind of issues. I've found zram-generator very easy to use, (just remember to disable zswap).

Trying to run New World
I had this exact issue. The few times I made it to character select before a crash and tried to log in, crashes would crop up if I teleported to a town, or logged out in one and tried logging back in. My system was running out of RAM and the game would crash. I had to set up a zram swap file and that solves all my crashes. I used zram-generator for this.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is so buggy you can't install the OS [video]
Be careful if you use ZFS-on-root, make sure not to snapshot bpool or it will brick your system and require a complete reinstall.

Radxa's SATA HAT makes compact Pi 5 NAS

Those WD drives seem to have some real issues, at least with ZFS and btrfs. :(

DiskClick: Ever wanted to hear Old Hard drive sounds
IMO the "next fs" is just zfs. They somewhat recently merged RAIDZ expansion feature https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/12225 and make regular improvements. If no file system has what you need today, zfs will probably be the first one to have it "tomorrow," imo.

A data corruption bug in OpenZFS?
https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/15526#issuecomment-181...
> zpool get all tank | grep bclone
> kc3000 bcloneused 442M
> kc3000 bclonesaved 1.42G
> kc3000 bcloneratio 4.30x
> My understanding is this: If the result is 0 for both bcloneused and bclonesaved then it's safe to say that you don't have silent corruption.

Ask HN: What's your "it's not stupid if it works" story?
A couple years ago, I had an idea for convincing a filesystem to go faster using 2 compression steps instead of one. I couldn't see why it wouldn't work, and I also couldn't convince myself it should.
It seems to have worked out. [1]
