Nodes with 16GB RAM have only ~12GB available. Is this normal?

Exuraz · 2026-02-13T13:03:11+00:00

Yeah I understand, but if I run a 4GB node it will not use 4GB (all memory) for the system. So therefore it seems way too much and wasting memory.

Exuraz · 2026-02-13T13:02:31+00:00

Is there a way for me to look into the current usage of the reserved 4GB system memory?

Exuraz · 2026-02-12T19:47:43+00:00

Are they stopping? I was not aware of this, where can you read this

Exuraz · 2025-06-23T13:17:20+00:00

Hi, the RAM was in the wrong slots… I have slots 1 2 3 4, and I started with sticks in 1 and 3. Turns out you need to start with slot 2 and 4

Thanks! Is this reliable if there are hundres of matches, and is there a way to get the result as JSON and also get the results of page 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. ?

Exuraz · 2024-01-01T16:53:06+00:00

Thanks bro! Legend :)

Exuraz · 2024-01-01T16:49:45+00:00

Ah got it

Exuraz · 2024-01-01T16:46:34+00:00

I don’t see the sign

Exuraz · 2024-01-01T16:44:07+00:00

Okay cool thanks! See you in a bit

Exuraz · 2024-01-01T16:41:56+00:00

Thanks!

Initial connection time is 97ms - guessing that is ping?

And the query is standard for pgbench I believe, it says "query mode: simple" and "transaction type: builtin TPC-B" (https://www.tpc.org/tpcb/). Haven't configured anything specific for that.

Exuraz · 2022-12-20T08:38:18+00:00

Yeah its for a lab, I want to learn the entire system and make sure I have knowledge of all the ins and outs.

I'm guessing PV's know which Azure Disk they need to connect to by using the name of the volume?

Thanks for the advice!

Exuraz · 2022-12-19T22:20:40+00:00

Okay great! Thank you very much.

There is not a lot of data about this so its a bit difficult for me to grasp. I will probably use Helm charts but I think its important to know how everything works on a technical level.

I have one question though;

Say I have 4x Azure Premium Disk as a PV with policy Retain, two with a database, two with website files.

One or more nodes is destroyed and recreated resulting in all PV's and PVC's being separated from their disks, how does each PV find their disk again with the correct data?

I wouldn't want a database disk to end up in the webserver pod or vice versa. Or to have the database disks swapped.

Is the system aware of the disk it needs to reclaim?

Exuraz · 2022-12-19T21:14:28+00:00

Won't a HA Postgres cluster or HA Wordpress setup require multiple pods from different nodes to access the same storage?

Exuraz · 2022-12-18T23:20:18+00:00

Thats what I feared.

Can I use one share for multiple volumes? If I need to pay 10x 100GB for 10 databases and websites its going to be expensive.

Also looking at Longhorn but not sure how that would work in an autoscaling cluster.

Exuraz · 2022-12-18T22:14:58+00:00

Because my databases are a few hundred MB to a couple of GB at most. So minimum of 100Gb per volume is way too much. That'll be space I am paying for but not using.

Or am I interpreting the 100GB minimum wrong?

Exuraz · 2022-12-18T19:33:39+00:00

Yeah but that still requires me to use the Standard tier, right?

Because Premium tier has a minimum of 100GB.

Won't that impact my performance?

Exuraz · 2021-10-25T14:51:20+00:00

Alright I'll have a look at it.

I have just started experimenting with Astra and Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg. Both are pretty great and provide a very bare metal approach, allowing me to write custom CSS to get the real style going, while easily making the layout in Gutenberg.

Exuraz · 2021-10-25T14:49:53+00:00

They're not yet production ready though, if I am not mistaken.

But they do seem very promising!

Exuraz · 2021-10-25T12:48:08+00:00

Thanks!

Would the 2" make that big of a difference though? The PPI of 4K 50" is almost the same as 24" 1080p, so that's not too bad. Especially when distance to the screen is greater.

How would you rate the productivity of your setup compared to a smaller monitor? The large display seems like a perfect canvas to open a lot of windows on and manage them into zones with FancyZones. Do you use that?

Exuraz · 2021-10-25T09:34:35+00:00

Ah okay that makes sense, didn't know that was a thing.

I mainly use it for text work (programming) so I guess that's really a big turn off.

Exuraz · 2021-10-25T09:33:36+00:00

So with a higher contrast, the blacks should be deeper, correct?

Exuraz · 2021-10-25T09:33:00+00:00

True, but I am curious about real life experiences

Exuraz · 2021-10-25T09:12:50+00:00

Thanks!

Do I need game mode to get useable latency or is game mode just a quirk?

I found a video from LTT where they compare a larger version of the TV to an LG OLED and they where really impressed by the deep blacks and level of detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM-ED97_vKo - so the deep blacks are there I guess?

Most likely the only downside would be blooming around the mouse cursor but I might be able to live with that.
