Hmm.  Cloak properly sets the DNS to their endpoint.  PIA doesn't touch it, so it breaks when the local hotspot sets DNS to themselves, but now all your traffic goes *through* them, so it can't reach the private DNS.
I reported that as a bug, and they don't seem to understand that it's a bug. :(
ubuntu is shifting to swap file instaed of swap partition
Is there a benefit to one over the other?
well they say that file means you can change the amount of space easier, and uses up less disk space
but i'm not sure why it'd use less unless it was dynamic
you can actually have multiple swap files, i suppose a daemon could make it dynamic, but i'm not aware of any inbuilt dynamicness
i don't use swap at all these days frequently
in the worst instance you have demand paging of executables.
where pages that aren't touched recently of an executable are thrown out of memory
Does Linux dump debugging info to swap on crashes? (Is that what the BSDs do?)
i don't think linux does, but i'm not sure
it may be able to
depending on the state of a crash dumping to swap isn't necessarily a good idea
well - we have a new guest for FreeNAS, so the show will go on!
I think you can't use an encrypted disk + swap file + hibernate, or something.
You have to have an encrypted swap partition if you want encrypted things.
or no swap
