And why would you care about terminology? Do you intend on teaching Ansible? It's the end result that matters, whether your playbook or role does what you want it to do, not whether you know the terminology or not. I've been using Ansible for some years, and honestly this is the first time I run into someone mentioning "dictionary".

2. One of my buddies who just bought NVME drives for this purpose, has only been using them for a week and is at 72% life left.

Consumer or enterprise drive? It could simply be bad unit. Although I do hope mining wears the drives that fast. Hardware manufacturer should put a clause in warranty, that mining voids it. What happened with GPU market is just insane, ordinary people get screwed over. Crypto needs heavy regulation or just outright ban.

man, someone doesn't like Crypto.

And what's to like? Mining wastes crazy amounts of energy for some useless calculations. In the end you have what exactly? Some string of characters. But cyber junkies need their fix too I guess.

Still preferred fallocate instead of dd to create a swap file?

dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile count=4096 bs=1MiB && chmod 600 /swapfile && mkswap /swapfile && swapon /swapfile && echo "/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0">>/etc/fstab

Still using swap file? Memory is cheap. I don't recall a server where I created swap partition or swap file.

Memory is NOT cheap, not at all.

It is if you own it. If you rent your hardware, yeah, it adds up.
