FreeBSD ate my ram!
- Last month I posted about my journey migrating my site server from an old Ubuntu server to FreeBSD.
- Some people on Hacker News noticed that, when I showed the fastfetch result, I said I was confused with the RAM usage compared to btop and commented that fastfetch is probably more correct.
- I decided to enter that rabbit hole and try to understand why reporting free or used memory in a modern operating system is more complicated than it seems.
