> Swap is not generally about getting emergency memory, it's about making memory reclamation egalitarian and efficient. In fact, using it as "emergency memory" is generally actively harmful.
The main point is to use zswap over swap plus zram. The sd card usecase definitely doesnt want swap to disk, compressed or otherwise, so zram or no swap are the options.
Moving swap off of sdcard is indeed a good plan.
But since swapping is done when ram is depleted, using a ramdisk for it (which uses ram) is ... exactly what you dont want.
Since OP states they have disks attached to the machine as well, the better thing is use a partition there for swap.

The problem here is that you were not buying a version you could download and store on your system, and just play it back with whatever.
So you 'bought' it while it was still under their control etc.
But like so many other comments here state: it's very much a known fact that 'buying' something like this is just renting it for a short time period.

In my opinion (which might not be shared by everyone) this is a you problem.
Developers in the team not using decontainers should not have to worry about your environment.
ide/local-env stuff should be ignored in the users git setup, everything that the repo creates (build artifacts, environment files etc) should be in the repo.
I didn't down vote you, but you aren't really adding anything to the conversation. This type of pithy comment might be fun on Reddit, but at HN, we try to provide more constructive, and information rich, comments.
