Yes, but given the fact that there can we weeks between incidents, that is going go be a long time to be without my services.

That’s a good idea, didn’t know Docker had such capability. I will read up on that - could you give me some keywords to start on?

You know you are right, and I’ve tried. I can manually monitor but it doesn’t happen just then. I don’t know yet what causes it, I can only assume it’s one of the Docker containers because the machine is doing nothing else.

I am doing this to find out how often it happens, how quickly it happens, and what’s at the top when it happens.

Thank you for these ideas, I will read up on systat+sar and give it a go.

Also smart to have the script always running, sleeping, rather than launching it at intervals.

I know all of this is a poor hack, and I must address the cause - but so far I have no clues what’s causing it. I’m running a bunch of Docker containers so it is very likely one of them painting itself into a corner, but after a reboot there’s nothing to see, so I am now starting with logging the top process. Your ideas might work better.

oh no, this only ships to US+AUS. I’m in Europe, so maybe I can find some mail-forwarding service…

thank you! 🤩

Nope, haven’t. It says I have 2 GB of swap on a 16 GB RAM system, and that seems reasonable.

Why would you recommend turning swap off?

This issue doesn’t happen very often, maybe every few weeks. That’s why I think a nightly reboot is overkill, and weekly might be missing the mark? But you are right in any case: regardless of what the cron says, the machine might never get around to executing it.

This insane torture is why there are post-it notes under the keyboards.

I see these posts everywhere, and they are friggin’ annoying :-(

You are right of course - your system is so fucked up that it’s not even worth trying, just give up already and hand the keys to Pootin. /s!

Maybe if you all started voting…? For real, dudes, you need to wake up.

I was thinking of paperclips.

Pretty. Nonsense, but pretty.

What’s not to love? Then do the same with Suckerberg please, kthxbye.

Elbonia!

One gram of a polar bear’s liver contains enough vitamin A to kill a human.

No bag, just a Scottevest jacket with 26 pockets. Had it for a decade. It even fits a water bottle and a laptop(!) without the being visible.

Only reason I’m not buying more/new is because they only come in black and don’t have any reflective seams or anything - bad for winter use.

This is amazing!

By that logic, anything can become a light-emitting component when you give is some amps :-)

Keep a fire extinguisher nearby, though…
