If you’ve ever wondered why your Linux system seems to be gobbling up RAM—or if you’ve stumbled across the classic “Linux Ate My RAM” page at https://www.myrandomtips.com/linux/linux-ate-my-ram/—you’re not alone. That site brilliantly explains how Linux memory management works, debunking the myth that “used” memory is a bad thing by showing how buffers and cache play a role. Inspired by its insights, I’ve created a new, interactive online tool that lets you manually input your system’s memory stats and get a clear, visual breakdown of your memory health. No more guessing—just paste in your free -m numbers, and let my tool do the rest!

Who Can Use This?

This tool is perfect for:

• Linux Admins and Enthusiasts: Whether you’re managing a RHEL 6.x server or just tinkering with a Linux box, this tool helps you assess memory usage without needing to run scripts locally.
• Beginners Learning Linux: If you’re new to Linux and puzzled by memory stats (like why “free” memory looks so low), this tool provides a friendly way to understand what’s happening under the hood.
• Anyone Without Automation Access: If you can’t run scripts on your system (e.g., shared hosting or restricted environments), you can still analyze your memory by entering data manually.
• Fans of “Linux Ate My RAM”: If you love the clarity of that site but want a more interactive experience with charts and warnings, this is for you!

The Tool

Here’s the online version of the memory health checker. Just run free -m on your Linux system, grab the numbers, and plug them into the fields below. You’ll get a detailed report, a bar chart, and a pie chart—plus a “When Should I Worry?” section to keep you informed.

Conclusion

Memory management in Linux can feel like a mystery, but tools like this—building on the wisdom of “Linux Ate My RAM”—make it easier to see what’s really going on. With this manual online version, you don’t need to install anything or run complex commands; just input your data and get instant insights. Whether you’re troubleshooting a sluggish server or just curious about your system’s memory, this tool has you covered. Give it a try, and let me know how it works for you!

In an era where content is now limitless and available on-demand, I’ve created a custom YouTube player that brings back the nostalgic charm of those days. My custom player replicates the traditional channel-surfing experience by allowing you to switch between pre-loaded YouTube videos on five channels, reminiscent of the iconic Australian TV lineup from the 90s.

How It Works

• Power On: Press the “Power” button to start the player and activate Channel 2 ABC.
• Channel Navigation: Use “Channel +” and “Channel -” buttons to switch between channels: 2 ABC, 7 SEVEN, 9 NINE, 10 TEN, and 28 SBS.
• Seamless Surfing: After the initial playback, you can effortlessly surf between channels, mimicking the classic TV experience.

Conclusion:

Reliving the charm of 1990s Australian television with this custom YouTube player is a unique blend of nostalgia and modern tech. Surfing through 2 ABC, 7 SEVEN, 9 NINE, 10 TEN, and 28 SBS channels brings back memories of an earlier time and lets you rediscover the fun of finding the “best of the worst” content.

Experiment with different channels and enjoy the seamless, intuitive experience. Power on, and dive back into the best of both worlds.

What’s This All About?

Imagine you’ve got a stash of old TV recordings—like those 90s cartoon blocks from Agros Cartoon Connection—and you want to watch them as if they’re airing right now. The Retro TV Sync Player lets you do just that. You pick a video from your local drive, set its original start time (say, 6:00 AM), and it’ll figure out where you’d be in the broadcast based on your current system time. If it’s 9:58 AM now, it jumps to 3 hours and 58 minutes in—unless that’s past the end, then it stops at the finish line. Neat, right?

Here’s the rundown of what it does:

• Load Any Video: Browse your files and pick an MP4 (or any video your browser supports).
• Set Start Time: Enter when the video “aired” (e.g., “9:00 AM”) in a simple AM/PM format.
• Sync on Play: Hit play, and it jumps to where you’d be if it started at that time today.
• Jump to Now: A handy button lets you skip to the current time’s spot anytime.
• Time Displays: See your system time, video playback time, and the “real” broadcast time—all in sync.

Try It Out!

Ready to test it? I’ve hosted it online so you can play with it yourself. Head over to this link:

Grab a video from your collection (maybe that old VHS rip?), load it up, set a start time, and see how it feels to watch the past in the present. It’s perfect for reliving those Saturday morning vibes or syncing up any timed recording.

The Carpathia left New York, and during thier journey received a distress call from the White Star liner Titanic on 14 April 1912.

It raced to the scene to the dismay of Captain Rostron and his crew, there was no sign of Titanic when they arrived at the radioed position at around 3:30 am. Half an hour later, Rostron ordered the engines of his ship be shut off and his crew began to search desperately and managed to rescue over 705 survivors from the icy North Atlantic.

Many of these photos are from 17 year old Bernie Palmer who took photos on the morning of April 15 with her new Kodak Brownie box camera.

It made its way back New York with awaiting crowds on the 18th April 1912.
