#Funfact: Rramdisk.sys with it's 32MB limit was even in #WindowsXP...

But #Linux distros do #Ramdisk|s way better.

@adisonverlice nodds in agreement that #VPN doesn't "#vibe" as in having * huge red flags*…

• I'm not a fan of @mullvadnet either but at least they obviously do that they can to minimize having customer data at hand in the first place.

Personally, I'd rather shove some tamper-proof box inside a rack cabinet that has all the secret keys on a non-persistent #RAMdisk so as soon as anyone "fucks with it" it'll send an alert and reboot, loosing the keys in the process.

The Complete Guide to Installing, Configuring and Operating Plex Media Server on Ubuntu Server (11/14)

📺 Create a RAM disk for fast, temporary processing (Beginner-Friendly!)

Optimise PMS by configuring a RAM disk for handling temporary files and avoiding wear on the physical storage. Plex relies on the underlying Ubuntu.

@paul_cS. I think I rebooted the computer between benchmarking and adding the #ramdisk to the /etc/fstab. In effect I made a ramdisk, benchmarked it, rebooted and then copied my files on the /mnt/ramdisk location of my M.2 NVME instead of RAM itself. At least this is what I think happened. And because it's a good one the I/O speed difference wasn't enough for me to notice.

Save your disk, write files directly into RAM with /dev/shm

Help? I created a #ramdisk on #openSUSE #Thumbleweed using #tmpfs and it somehow is persistent. 😳 Isn't it supposed to be "volatile", and wiped on a reboot?

My #computer remebers things it wasn't supposed to. I'm worried what else it remembers. It think it might secretely be sentient. Send help.

#Linux #spooky #GhostInTheShell #how?

What I'm still missing is a custom #recovery that can actually do any useful stuff (especially full #backup).

My device has recovery as a #ramdisk in vendor_boot, and there are some prebuilt vendor_boot images with #twrp around, which I don't want to use directly because there's also an init-boot ramdisk in there that needs patching for root with #magisk ... and as far as I understood now, these ramdisks are userland only, using the shared #kernel from the boot partition, so it's unlikely a recovery built for #HyperOS1 (#Android 14, #Linux 5) will work with #HyperOS2 (Android 15, Linux 6).

What I *did* try nevertheless was modifying my vendor_boot using Magisk's #magiskboot utility, replacing ONLY the recovery ramdisk. It resulted in #bootloop trying to boot the normal system, so there seems to be something I still don't understand (I *thought* this ramdisk would only ever be loaded when booting to recovery).

For now, I'll live with the useless stock #Xiaomi recovery. Attempting to do my own build of twrp or orangefox really is too much hassle 🙈

@gantua @dalias @eniko ideally you put /home elsewhere too as there's most likely more traffic going on.

• I think more #Linux distros should.do it like #pfSense and support a "#Ramdisk-first" mode:

Basically only permanent configuration changes will be written on disk!

True, true...

#Linux barely sips resources unless one explicitly works towards it (i.e. setting up a big-ass #ramdisk!)

One thing I give a lot of credit is /tmp.

In most Linux distributions, this folder is basically a "RAM Drive". You can put anything there, and then it's gone at restart. No need to install "RAM Drive" managers or what sort.

One thing I wonder is what would happen if you abuse it. Is there a way to limit how much "space" it can take before you're out of memory?

@HoustonDog and yes, I remember those #WinPE #hacks with rramdisk.sys to make #Windows run from #RAMdisk.

• In fact, @OS1337 literally does that when booting by loading itself into #RAM...
  

The idea of using #ROM chips is to have something long-lasting that is designed to be read-only without mechanical parts and not trivial to fiddle with compared to #USB #flashdrives.

So yes, my mission goals for @OS1337 hasn't changed in that I want it to be a #useable #SSH #terminal on a #1440kB #FDD image and having the option to expand from there on...

• A #Ramdisk-only #Linux that allows one to easily connect to stuff and mount one's /home/ directory is a way to go - espechally when said drive is a fully-encrypted #Network-based #BlockStorage...

At the very least I want @OS1337 to support #dropbear as #SSH #client so one can use it as a amnesiaic, anti-forensics #RAMdisk - only SSH-#Terminal to connect to other machines.

Like a reinterpretation of classic terminals like the #VT520 series from DEC...

Seit ich vor Jahrzehnten vom #Amiga gezwungenermaßen zu #Windows wechselte, vermisse ich die #RAMDisk. Eine virtuelle Festplatte, die beim nächsten Neustart wieder leer ist. Perfekt zB für temporäre Downloads. (Ich bin zu unorganisiert, um die wieder zu löschen) Gibt es irgendwas brauchbares für Windows 11?

ビルド時の中間ファイルの書き出しが遅い(＆ゴミ箱がすぐいっぱいになる)ので「RAMディスク使いてえなー」と、パソコン老人会みたいな事を考えたら、Mac で普通に使えた。

Gibts hier jemanden, der #IodeOS über deren #Installer bzw. #manuell auf seinem #SHIFTphone6mq (oder anderem #ShiftPhone) erfolgreich installiert hat?

Momentan ist bei meinem #SHIFT6mq der #BootLoader #unlocked, es lebt ein #LineageOS drauf und ich hab #Magisk geflashed (#Ramdisk Yes, Zygisk: No).

Bedenken hab ich nur bzgl. den A/B-Partitionen bzw. dass ich dahingehend was falsch mache(n könnte).

@soller xD...

Any now you know why I do want to get another 32GB for my machine if not find a good way to max out my Z600 to 96GB RAM and use AMT to remotely power on/off that monster for @OS1337 compile jobs whilst also putting all the stuff in a #RAMdisk because that'll be faster in terms of #IOPS so my compile jobs don't take half an hour...

warning to #archlinux users with latest #linux #kernel and setup with #grub and #FDE there could be an issue connected with system #boot #stuck at #ramdisk step "Loading initial ramdisk..." temporally fix chroot from liveiso into installation and install linux-lts and rebuild grub to made system accessible again...
