Accidentally wrote a dead loop that hogged both CPU time and RAM. Waited for kernel to kill it, but 5 min after nothing happened, so I restarted the computer. In theory Linux Kernel should start killing processes once RAM is drained, so what's going on here? #askfedi
@Hanuwu Likely yes. Indeed, I've seen people who disable swap explicitly because they want OOM to kick in as soon as possible.
@MischievousTomato @Houkago_Jimtime @Hanuwu @casualwp well that makes sense because i misread your first post as "5400rpm dick"
@casualwp Hmm, so if I disable swap this could trigger OOM? I do have swap set up on HDD.
