Very much possible, but I’m aware of what swap is and how does it work. That’s my problem with videos in general - if it was an article, I can easily skim through the parts I know and read only parts that interest me.
I totally understand. Articles are much better at actually finding information. Videos are more entertaining though. There’s nothing in that video that really couldn’t have been in an article.
Thank you! I was curious but not ten-minute-video curious. I wonder if there’s a cloud provider that doesn’t block this sort of usage - could it work with onedrive/dropbox/etc?
spoilers for how it works in the video:
Sadly it just crashes immediately because Google has measures in place to prevent this behavior, and the rest of the video is an ELI5 on swap space.
Thanks! I hate watching a whole video for something that could be a paragraph at most.
To be fair, the video covers a lot more than just that answer.

The video also explains why it doesn’t really work; the latency is so large, the system is better off getting the files from local storage.
I kind of assumed that haha, this wouldn’t be something you’d do for practical purposes. Still fun though!
