No swap on AWS

Using Linux on AWS? As of now, there's no swap file then by default coming out of the images.

See the below two links for advices

How can I check if swap is active from the command line?
Why don't EC2 ubuntu images have swap?

A brief highlight roughly from those is this helpful command, to confirm your suspicion:

cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i swap

This will likely provide you with big fat zeroes as below:

SwapCached: 0 kB
SwapTotal: 0 kB
SwapFree: 0 kB

How cool is that (without a warning at the very least)...

Watch out when doing memory intensive processing (which is a less than good sign :) but happens), for any reason.

Love hate / Ubuntu & Android

When having to transfer files like

mkdir FromPhone/DCIM; sudo mv /media/motog/Internal\ shared\ storage/DCIM/Camera FromPhone/DCIM/

After apt installing this'n'that and mounting with
sudo jmtpfs /media/motog/

Hm... not feeling like a plug & play Windows user that much anymore :)

Too bad I'll never remember/work out in retrospect if it's just my faulty ("universal") laptop charger transferring a noise that normally makes my touchscreen crazy - and yes, it may have failed file transfers too - which was playing tricks with me.

Because anyhow, it just works now.
