tuning(7) begins:
"The swap partition should typically be approximately 2x the size of main memory for systems with less than 4GB of RAM, or approximately equal to the size of main memory if you have more. "
I can't believe that 64 GB swap should be a norm for a system with 64 GB RAM.

Any pivot-table people out there? I've got this example pivot table I've been messing with and I can't figure out wth a value (23.53..%) comes from - it's a sum displayed as % difference to next field, so I'm reckoning it's (21-17)/17 - but I don't understand wth it's referencing the 17 field.

I'm rewatching Firefly (on Disney ).
The CGI is obviously lacking modern lighting techniques and often feels soft, the compositing has clipped highlights due to the lack of a modern linear and color-managed workflow. But that's to be expected. The show came out more than 20 years ago!
What matters more is the story and its vibe. I remember it as one of the most beloved sci-fi shows back then, in good company with

Jeremy Keith found a `<datalist>` bug in iOS 26:

I confirmed it affects iPadOS 26.2:

A search input on theSession.org where the value of a search suggestion covers the text in the input, even though he suggested text is about half the size of the rest of the text on the page.
Another search input now showing three suggestions that cover the input, with text that is still about half the size of surrounding text and which wraps at less than half the width of the input.
