A: What is frontswap? Frontswap is a `tmem` interface in the kernel. The idea is to have a little faster RAM-like alternative to traditional(ly dreaded) swap. When memory pressure starts to mount, the kernel will ask frontswap before swapping a page. Frontswap is just an interface, so it could have different backen... (more) |

A: Copy files while showing progress Pipe Viewer or `pv` is a program for displaying the throughput of any pipe. It can be used to monitor all sorts of transfers, but for a simple copy you don't even need to pipe any other commands.

A: What are these weird hash symlinks to certificates in /etc/ssl/certs? They are created by `openssl-rehash` tool. Probably your distro runs this somewhere behind the scenes so you don't have to. Quote from the docs above: > This command is useful as many programs that use OpenSSL require directories to be set up like this in order to find certificates. (more) |

The OS can set the hardware clock too, and I would expect this to happen automatically eventually. I don't know what exactly is used for time synchronization in Ubuntu, but there should be a command to run it immediately. (more) |

Yeah there is. I just find it sketchy to copy paste commands with unexplained options, thus I prefer the long format.
But it can be an ok addition as long as it's the same command. Go ahead and suggest an edit! (more) |
