Okay, why does `swapoff` exist on Linux? It's completely useless as far as I can tell. It's been running for 24h to swap in like 1.5GB of used swap or so, on a largely idle server with >32GB free RAM. How can it be *this* hilariously inefficient?

Definitely. Then this issue should be raised at the distro level. Will have a look after vacation

Well, it's also 2019 and people configuring webservers still worry/care about clients that only support TLS 1.0 or that don't support SNI or ECDSA, and software developers still worry/care about people still using GCC 4.x…

At least we moved on from SSLv3 and GCC 2.96...

it makes sense to default to having a swap partition on desktops and laptops to support system hibernation

It's possible to use hibernation without a swap *partition* - a swap *file* is good enough for that: https://wiki.debian.org/Hibernation/Hibernate_Without_Swap_Partition … A hibernation swap file gives you more flexibility and saves space if you're using a filesystem that supports transparent compression (like btrfs or ZFS).
