  • Unpopular opinion, but most of that is duplicated information that makes sense to be duplicated because I’m not a machine that can scan the whole page and instantly get what I need.

    Top right are action buttons, fork and stars on the center right let you see who else starred and forked the repo.

    License information just makes sense to be in a repo summary, and it just happens that most license files are at the root and visible in the file tree.

    I don’t see the top level stuff, you probably see that because you’re not authenticated, so github tries to “sell” itself for you.

    I agree “releases” should be at the top though (it used to, and I use GitHub refined to bring it back), but having the latest one at a glance is nice and saved me a click many times.


  • No point in messing with swappiness settings, trust me. You want to address the reason this happens in the first place, not disable or reduce swap.

    I’ve had a nearly identical scenario at work. The reason? A data verification process that went through 100s of thousands of files to run their checksums and check integrity. This was working as intended, but the system alerts were firing because of that high buffer/cache utilization. So check which processes have highest IO and you might find the answer. Swap is just a side effect.
