So you need the self control required to add this extension for those sites you don’t have the self control not to visit too often?

If it prevents us having another crappy week thanks to the like of Crowdstrike, good.

Ok - and what sort of cpu load do they have?

htop will also show the cpu bars and the breakdown of that - whether it’s pure cpu or iowait, which is when the cpu can’t do anything because it’s waiting on disk or network.

And how’s your memory usage looking?

I’m guessing you’ve already turned it off and on again. If not, seriously, do that. It works more time than it doesn’t for random weirdness.

Run ‘htop’ and sort by CPU (it’s a friendlier and better version of ‘top’. That’ll show you what processes are using the most CPU

Whilst you’re in there, check the free memory. If that’s low, or swap usage is high, then use htop to sort by memory usage to find what’s using the most.

If you see processes you don’t recognise, hit google and find out why. It’s very unlikely they’re malicious, but it’s far less common on linux than Windows to have random processes doing unknown stuff. If it’s using a lot of cpu or memory, there’ll be a reason. It might be a dumb reason, but you will be able to find it out.

And then when you know what the guilty process is, if it is that, and it’s not critical - you can stop it with systemctl and narrow down what’s afoot.

Before this year, the thought of an entirely arbitrary block to things like American cloud services by America to its European allies would have seemed extremely unlikely. It would make no sense, the damage to America and it’s GDP would far outweigh any any political benefit.

All of those reasons still hold true, but I absolutely assure you, European governments and companies all over have that possibility firmly in their risk portfolio now. America tells microsoft to immediately not only stop selling products in Europe, but disable those already in use? Ditto Google. Ditto Apple. Ditto all the hundreds of IT hardware producers that are American. Want to cripple a foreign government that uses MS Office? Remotely disable it. job done. Sure, it would be illegal, but America’s government has no respect for law.

(Even before this, several European governments were using open source (Germany, France, Austria, Portugal - there’s a list but this is less about idealism and more about protecting themselves from the unpredictable as well as not trusting America with their data any more. Every thing like this can only be seen as non Americans distancing themselves from America every way they can, and with good reason.)

Because Musk has turned it into somewhere that hate speech is not only tolerated, but encouraged.

Lemmy is literally the antithesis of X, no wonder you’re being downvoted.

Why are you cross posting content from a hate site to lemmy?

Debian for about two decades: It would take something pretty major to shift me - probably a hostile takeover, major policy shift or commercialisation, none of which is likely.

At worked we shifted from Centos to Rocky for the obvious reason, and are happy with the choice so far.

A perfect use for them - controlled environment, difficult conditions, repetitive and predictable workflow.

But I’m puzzled by the design - why have a cab? Wouldn’t a more efficient layout be a whole-bed platform with all systems underneath?

Play store is impossible to browse to see what’s worth trying for this reason.

I bought NMS when it was released, and hated it. Ok, it’s legendary as something that was released before it was ready and that undoubtedly spoiled it for me - endless running and nothing to do, and I’m sure it’s better now.

Elite Dangerous was quite fun for a while, but I got frustrated with the flying aspect quite a bit and after several deaths I gave up. I’m old enough to remember the first Elite, which was even more unforgiving.

Freelancer sounds interesting - I started searching and landed on the Amazon page for it, which told me " You last purchased this item on 29 Apr 2005". I have no recollection of the thing, but then I have played a lot of games. Still, worth a revisit - I’ll take a look. Thanks.

Ok, but apart from that, it’s okay, right?

Seriously - what is a good space exploration/trading game that doesn’t require a huge learning curve? (I’m not a fan of flying stuff and too much trading is boring, but I do like exploring)

They’re often having to juggle with very low budgets, old equipment, low skill and zero support. And that’s before you add children…

I don’t doubt they jumped at the chance of someone helping out.

You’re talking as if “The linux community” was one single bunch of people.

Reddit isn’t Linux HQ and nor is Lemmy, nor is Facebook. #linux still active on IRC too, but not there either.

Recent convert to immich and hugely impressed by the software and project - one of FOSS’s shining stars. Good work everyone.

“Free speech” for these people has only meant for them.

Others have answered why this isn’t a memory leak as such and is not as big a deal as you may think.

But if you are still concerned, you can reduce it, even if doing so is a bad idea.

1. You’re running it natively which means you’re probably using a systemd .service file to manage jackett. Research the .system setting “RuntimeMaxSec” - that will force a restart of the service every N seconds and prevent it growing. (This is a bad idea, but if you want to boss it around, you can)

2. Run it in docker and force a max memory setting. Docker will prevent it using more than you set. You can also restrict cpu usage this way too. docker-compose example goes something like:

deploy: resources: limits: cpus: 0.5 memory: 100m
