Just Add Another Swap File

Why buy more RAM when you can just add another swap file? Mem[|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||53.8G/62.7G] Swp[|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||511G/1021G] NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO /dev/sda3 partition 321.4G 321.4G -2 /swapfile file 400G 142.4G -3 /swapfile2 file 300G 0B -4 My SQL query has been running for over 80 hours and I am not letting the OOM killer reap it after all this time.

A computer terminal shows extremely high memory and swap usage, with multiple swap files and a PostgreSQL process consuming resources. The caption jokes about avoiding buying more RAM by repeatedly adding swap files, while the bottom text explains that an SQL query has been running for over 80 hours and must be protected from the OOM killer. It is used as a humorous reaction to excessive technical overengineering and refusing to stop a doomed process.
