I keep running out of space with my swap getting maxxed out… I don’t know why but U-Blue uses Zram already and apparently I can easily override the defaults:
in usr/lib/systemd/zram-generator.conf
# This config file enables a /dev/zram0 device with the default settings:
# — size — same as available RAM or 8GB, whichever is less
# — compression — most likely lzo-rle
#
# To disable, uninstall zram-generator-defaults or create empty
# /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf file.
[zram0]
zram-size = min(ram, 8192)
And so I just made my own file in /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf:
[zram0]
zram-size = min(ram, 16384)

I was debugging some ArgoCD stuff earlier today and I love using k9s to explore my k8s resources.
The TLDR is that I put some bad env vars in the global values for my ArgoCD
pods, this caused the webUI to hang. An easy way to push things through is to
open k9s, view the Deployments, and edit the env vars there so the pods can be
in the right state to restart and pickup the changes (you’ve obviously fixed
the values file already right?)
Well the Notification Controller was the pod hanging, and I couldn’t find it in the Deployments view! This blew my mind… until I realized that it was a Stateful Set.
So, this is not a comparison of the 2 - this is just a note to say that all I had to do was find the StatefulSets in k9s and do the same workflow for editing what I needed to edit to get the pods into workable state while working on the values file…
statically.io offers a CDN that I’m going to try to lean into for images in my blog. My hope is that the builds get and stay fast, and that page loads are fast too.
