In first place was the ARK: Genesis Season Pass for ARK: Survival Evolved, and the game itself climbed to fifth place. “Silver” was won by NieR: Automata, which was sold at a discount […]
A few months ago, the number of extensions for the new Microsoft Edge was 162. Now the number is approximately 1200. And although this is small compared to similar figures for Chrome and Firefox, the fact itself is respectable. However, the blue browser also supports working with Chrome extensions, so there shouldn’t be any special problems. Note that when starting [...]

After eight months of development, the earlyoom 1.4 background process has been released, which periodically checks the amount of available memory (MemAvailable, SwapFree) and tries to respond at an early stage to memory shortages. The project code is written in C and is distributed under the MIT license. If the amount of available memory is less than the specified value, then earlyoom will force (by sending SIGTERM or SIGKILL) […]

I decided to write this article due to the lack of a normal tutorial in one place. All information had to be collected piece by piece from various sources, and not entirely recent ones. Anyone interested, welcome to cat. […]

In the Steam Community (the post was later deleted), the authors said that since the release, pirated […]
