    This week Steve gives us a deep dive into performance tuning, and we talk about how your body's memory functions.

    -- During The Show --
    00:50 Intro
    • Subsisting greeting variables
    • Accessible memory
    • Strength of memory
    • Reading and writing builds "Accessible memory"
    • Teaching builds "Strength of memory"
    • Go look up "space repetition"
    • Reader come home book
    • YouTube if you check their sources
    • 17:55 News Wire
      • OpenSSL Security Update - github.com

      • 19:15 Performance Tuning
        • Defaults are someone guessing at a "safe option"
        • Three hosts being tuned
          • NAS (file server)
          • vHost (virtual disks live here)
          • Container Host
          • When should you performance tune?
            • Broadcasting
            • Networks (ISPs)
            • The more "dense" the more benefits
            • TuneD
            • ZFS "Adaptive Replacement Cache" (ARC)
              • Default is 50% of RAM
              • Swap file
                • System doesn't empty on its own
                • ARC stats
                  • Hits and misses
                  • Resets on reboot
                  • Memory pressure
                  • Swapyness
                    • 60 is the default
                    • the "cliff rate"
                    • Tuned to around 10%-30% on "performance profiles"
                    • System starts swapping before you hit zero RAM
                    • ZFS record size
                      • Record size is the "Maximum" not "Fixed size"
                      • Media Library 1M
                      • Postgres 16K
                      • ZFS write amplification (8k writes to 1M records hurt)
                      • AI study bot rules
                      • Man systemd.directives
                      • Write in and tell us if you want more!
                      • Extra Credit: What to search after the show
                        • ZFS ARC Tuning
                        • ZFS Record Size
                          • ZFS send receive preserves record size
                          • Record size is per "data set" not directory
                          • Record size only affects new writes
                          • "zfs_dirty_data_max" vs "vm.dirty_ratio"
                          • "QEMU "cache=none" O_DIRECT"
                          • Postgres on NFS PGDATA caveats
                          • "Tuned-adm virtual-host" hypervisor profile (The one nobody mentions)
                          • Tuned profile format "sysctl" vs "main" the plugin/argument split
                          • NFS mount options (the client side fix)
                          • "vmstat" reading swap columns correctly

After a brief hiatus we're live from the Tamarack Tap Room in Woodbury MN! We celebrate and record the 500th episode of the Ask Noah Show. We talk about what's gone well, and where we think we can improve. After 235 episodes, Steve finally gets his own segment! This is an episode you don't want to miss.
