Microsoft now recommends 32GB of RAM as the future-proof 'no worries' config for gaming — 16GB becomes the new 'practical starting point' during the RAMageddon

Pretty much no games recommend more than 16GB of RAM, even in the unoptimized era we're living in right now. Only a few titles at their highest presets say 32GB is ideal, so Microsoft claiming that 32GB is the future-proof standard isn't exactly wrong. You'll be fine with 16GB today, but perhaps not tomorrow.

Бэкап сайта на шаред-хостинге без cron CLI: bash + lftp + внешний триггер

Скриптов «забэкапь мне сайт» в интернете тысячи.

А ещё — почти все игнорируют ротацию, и через два месяца ваш FTP забит 300 архивами по 200 МБ каждый.В этой статье — рабочая схема для типичного клиентского сайта на Beget/Timeweb/Rusonyx-подобном хостинге, без...
