Re: Increasing need for RAM

Oh, what I just found is quite interesting in this context after all (it's in German, but the charts are probably globally understandable):

Re: Increasing need for RAM

Do you know about Project Gemini? Produces sane web pages . . .

Some time ago I heard about it. Yes, that is interesting ...

Re: Increasing need for RAM

Unfortunately, nobody writes HTML in the editor these days.

I'm pretty sure that a few people in this very forum still do. And I'm one of those

Indeed . . . devuan.org was crafted from scratch by hellekin. It has gone through some changes but that code is mostly still in use and I always created my sites in a text editor too.

[edit] There was a time when exploring the creative possibilities of html and css was a "thing":

http://www.csszengarden.com/

The only rule is:

"You may modify the style sheet in any way you wish, but not the HTML."

Do take a tour through their gallery . . . though it seems a bit broken atm . . .

[edit2] Another interesting option to add to a site created in a text editor is  Flat Press which use to be an no-database version of wordpress. Have no idea where it's gone since I last used it.

Sorry for the OT, folks . . .

Yes, and a clean HTML code is very clear. Errors are quickly detected.
You can play creatively with the style sheet. But for some things, e.g. scientific texts, you don't even need a style sheet. For me, this is currently the most economical and practical way to store texts (including links).

Re: Increasing need for RAM

Going back to the subject line....

I have to use color-management by default with xfce4.

The ps output for chinaera:

colord  1777  0.1  0.1  239288   14896 ?  Sl  10:16   0:00 /usr/libexec/colord

and for daedalus:

colord  2260  0.6  1.4  341496  116452 ?  Sl  09:57  0:00 /usr/libexec/colord

colord_1.4.6 claims to require 7.8 times more Resident Memory as colord_1.4.5. AFAIK, nothing major has been added/incorporated which would justify this substanially encreased resident memory requirement.

This makes the 1.4.6 version the top-contender for the most memory-hungry daemon.

Soon we need 32Gig just to run a DE alone.

Re: Increasing need for RAM

$ cat /etc/devuan_version ; free -m
chimaera
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:          128887      102819       21226          61        4841       24548
Swap:          16383         179       16204

And this box doesn't even run a GUI

I will never understand this constant obsessing over memory, it's like some kind of religion here.

It's Gnome software, isn't that enough to explain it...? ;)

Since there are only 16 commits between "Release colord 1.4.5" and "Release colord 1.4.5" [sic], if someone were so inclined they could use git bisect to identify what commit might have changed things.

Though there are also several "trivial: fix a small memory leak ..." commits made in April last year, not yet in a release, so perhaps those are relevant.
