Possible problem with earlyoom on Alpine when there is no swap
[As described here](https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/17689), when installing earlyoom on an Alpine system with no swap without ever touching the config file, it doesn't seem to engage under 10% free like the log says it intends to:

I'm not sure why that is and it doesn't engage here. (Or am I simply reading the stats wrong?) I noticed since the system eventually stopped responding at all, presumably due to running out of memory.
I don't know if that detail is relevant, but I think the Alpine default config basically is blank with no regexes whatsoever, since that is for some reason how Alpine ships it out of the box.
**Affected earlyoom version:** v1.8.2
**Affected kernel:** Alpine 6.12.54-0-rpi
