This isn't just yet another Postgres memory tuning guide. Based on decades of experience as a DBA, research, benchmarks, and a healthy sampling of opinions other experts. Make your Postgres use memory wisely and without risking the ire of the OOM killer!

@katefeetie Hulu has always had the literal worst episode tracking I've ever encountered. It's actually impressive how bad it is. And they never bothered to fix it. Now it's being replaced by the Disney+ app in March, so maybe that's better.

@EndWokeness I hate to say it, but probably TV and everything that came afterwards. Life is now so convenient that we never have to really interact with other people. We've lost our sense of community and the responsibility that goes with it.

@vxunderground 500ms is extremely sus for SSH. At that point, I'd be looking too, starting with DNS, handshake problems, expired certs, or some kind of timeout. SSH breaks so often for innocuous reasons like that, it could have been a routine problem.
