I think this was indicative of much of the thinking on both sides of the debate though; focusing tightly on a single, subjective aspect for or against.
"Why the EU is important / abhorrent to me right now?" rather than something like "What is the anticipated future nature of the EU and what does that mean for the UK?"
I agree with you but the other side's arguments were pretty weak.
The Leave side was for immigration control (which has not materially changed, we still have an influx of small boats, but have made it harder for educated, hard working people to get in), and mythical funding for the NHS to the tune of £350m a week which never happened.
'User' has been a term in computing for decades before the current Cloud Services fad ( hence uid ).
One uses a hammer, one uses a microwave, one uses a computer, one uses a word processor. Nothing negative towards the user, they're being productive with the product.
If anything it's derogatory in the other direction, towards the manufacturer, reducing the fruits of their labour to that of a simple tool.
It always works for me, including on SBCs over TTL serial port. Always. Never had a situation where invoking the OOM killer by sysrq didn't solve the swap storm.
On your system it probably doesn't work at all, not even when idle. It can only be 3 reasons:
- Your kernel doesn't have it. You probably have a generic kernel provided by the package manager without this feature enabled. I can't really help you here. I always build my own kernel from source (+ patches).
- Something hijacks your keyboard input. If you have a console already opened and logged in as root, you can "echo f > /proc/sysrq-trigger". Else, you can try setting up a permanent serial console and send the command from another computer. CTRL+2 then the command letter (f). The magic sysrq key over serial console is a separate kernel option that needs to be enabled.
- You're doing it wrong. On laptop keyboards, keyboards less than 104/105 keys, sysrq is one of the first keys to be removed. Getting it pressed with Fn combinations... Good luck with that!
