If you use a swapfile on that setup...

Does that mean you've literally DOWNLOADED RAM???

Ladies, gentlemen, none of the above. We have come full circle. The mainframe + Terminal combination is back

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 50 points 1 year ago

Mainframes are just other people's computers

@Chewy7324 It seems be fun but the latency should be terrible 😅

[-] evidences@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Latency isn't the only issue.

it's slow, symbolic and hard linking don't work correctly, and permissions and attributes aren't recorded.

[-] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago

You could have a secondary layer that tarred every file on write, since tar maintains permission flags. It could also fix symbolic linking, but not hard linking. As an added benefit, it would drastically reduce the usefulness of the system.

What about using a Google Sheets spreadsheet with the file content encoded in BASE64?

[-] Sparky 2 points 1 year ago

You maniac... What are you gonna do next? Run a cpu in a spreadsheet? Oh wait...

Once it all gets to ram, you should be just fine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
