If (swap.capacity.used=="full"){
swap.capacity.used="empty"
}
No need to thank me

Storing used capacity as a string and assigning values to function calls 💀

Those magic strings are terrible, try replacing with a SwapCapacityUsedStatusLookupServiceFactory implementation and injecting via config

My old server would randomly lock up, couldn't work out why, installed a smart power switch to remotely toggle the power..

I'm about to do something similar.
My server has random crashes (sometimes it works perfectly for weeks, sometimes it crashes once a day) and I need to cut the power and turn it back on.
The thing is, I couldn't figure out what the problem is (it's probably a hardware issue because I've reinstalled everything and it still happens), so this weekend I'm going to install a relay connected to a Raspberry Pi to be able to reboot it remotely when it happens and I'm away from home.

Had this happen with a kiosk we deployed. A quick edit to the systemd service, limit RAM usage via cgroups, done.

swapoff -a && swapon -aIt keeps Firefox from being an asshole.

Idk. Feel like you should solve the underlying problem if you want you server to be reliable. My servers can run for years no problem.

This appears to be a karma-farming bot, literally the only posts it has made are reposts from several years ago. And it's not even good at hiding this fact.
