For the last few days, I've been writing my own encryption for fun even though it's 100% not secure enough or powerful. My belief is that even though it's not super useful, the experience of attempting to write one is teaching me a lot more than I would have by simply studying it.

I've been looking for something like this. I'd rather read this crass/vulgar document than a 250 page books on algorithms and practice leetcode without a direction. This also seems to be full of insider knowledge and your review makes me feel much more positive towards it. Here's to making this year count.

1. You might upload to a bucket online and link them individually.

2. Upload the images to your Github repo in a folder and relatively link them.

3. Edit your README on the WYSIWYG editor on Github itself and paste the images using Ctrl+V. Github will automatically host and link the image in your file.
I hope this has been helpful!

> What do you use when baking sweet pastries? Crushed sugar cubes? :D
When OP says sugar cubes, he doesn't mean the sugar cubes you might be thinking (large cubes of sugar used for tea, or fed to horses), although that is something found pretty ubiquitously out here too. Our sugar generally comes in a grain-like consistency shaped as tiny cubes measuring about 1-2mm squared, in general. A simple Google search for "India sugar" should provide visual reference. This is a personal anecdote but the size of these sugar grains vary in size based on how expensive they are. More expensive = finer sugar.
At my home, we either use icing sugar or powder the sugar in a spice grinder attachment on our blenders. That's how I prefer my sugar, just so much easier to work with. Wish it was more common around.
> Again I don't know what the limits are over there.
We don't have any limits, AFAIK, but that's mostly because without a PIN/OTP, no one is going to get any money out of your debit/credit card. I should mention I've used my card on a few US/EU-based websites and didn't need to input any PIN/OTP so it's still possible.

Don't get me wrong. The world still uses the technology you mentioned at large, but the industry has in-fact built upon and grown alongside older technology.

I initially bought this to explore UI/UX for VR, but with AR, it opens up the technology and my personal research to a whole slew of challenges.

TL;DR Takeaway
WSL does use a really low amount of RAM but it is allocated about 4GB by default when it is started. If you think that’s too much and would like to decrease it, Windows Insider Build 18945 brough customizable settings for wsl.
Create a %UserProfile%\.wslconfig file and use it to limit memory assigned to WSL2 VM.
```
[wsl2] kernel=<path> # An absolute Windows path to a custom Linux kernel.
memory=<size> # How much memory to assign to the WSL2 VM.
processors=<number> # How many processors to assign to the WSL2 VM.
swap=<size> # How much swap space to add to the WSL2 VM. 0 for no swap file.
swapFile=<path> # An absolute Windows path to the swap vhd.
localhostForwarding=<bool> # Boolean specifying if ports bound to wildcard or localhost in the WSL2 VM should be connectable from the host via localhost:port (default true).
# <path> entries must be absolute Windows paths with escaped backslashes, for example C:\\Users\\Ben\\kernel # <size> entries must be size followed by unit, for example 8GB or 512MB
```
Therefore, in your situation, all you need to include in your file is ⤵
`
[wsl2] memory=1GB
`
Customize it as necessary with the available options.
