Is there a way to have the website related processes, such as apache and php always have priority over others? Or is limiting the offending CPU hogs the better approach?
I like and use #nginx for other things. This one should stay on apache for now. I'd like to understand and figure out a solution to the specific issue of optipng and mysqld taking up so much CPU that they knock the website offline while they run.
The primary offender was optipng, which was resizing images for the web application. optipng knocked the website offline fairly frequently. mysqld only does occasionally.
So I thought it was more of a CPU process priority issue.
On a web server with limited CPU resources, optipng and mysqld processes sometimes take up all the CPU for a few minutes. While that is happening, the apache web server is unavailable. It comes back fine and responds after those processes are done, but while they are running you get nothing while trying to load the website in a web browser.
What would you do to solve this issue so that the apache web server is still responsive while these processes run? The cpulimit utility or some other technique?
Just followed you, as it looks like we have a few common interests.
The #fediverse can take a while to unlock, as you won't see everyone right away. I self-host my instance (not #mastodon) and people can't see my posts until someone they follow boosts one of my posts. Then their server can see me. At least, that's a simple explanation that is probably mostly correct.
One was the monthly giveaway winner. He chose Linux over Windows on an HP ProBook 450 G3.
The second was a Toshiba 17 inch laptop with a failed hard drive and Windows installation. She decided to try Linux with an SSD on that machine.
Third was a service call to a friend who had been binge researching privacy related topics. Wanted to get Microsoft off her laptop and asked me to remove Windows and install Linux. I asked all the questions to make sure Linux would be a good fit for her. It was. Did the installation while I was there.
One of my customers just emailed me. He expressed frustration with the new UI. Says it is barely usable for him and asked for me to "help fix this mess".
I haven't used the new UI yet, so not sure what I'm in for yet.
I have a #pinephone that I haven't used much. I'll be putting #mobian on it and giving it a try again. I'm okay to have it as a secondary device, as I really do prefer using a laptop or PC for calls most of the time.
#AppleEvent#Apple products fall squarely in the "expensive junk" category for me.
No marketing, peer pressure of publicity event could convince me to buy one of their products new. If a used one was given to me, there's a chance I may use it ( older Macs with #Linux Mint #Debian Edition are usable)
I do not regularly use a mobile phone. I use a #Linux laptop or my desktop with phone dot com (thinking of switching to openphone.com) for almost all of my text and phone calls.
While out and about, I use a mobile hotspot from US Cellular and only turn it on when I am using it.
I do have a backup Android phone that I can connect to the hotspot if my laptop ever would fail or loose battery power. I keep it in airplane mode almost all the time. Mainly have it because one of my contracting jobs wants me to use Google Authenticator App, which can still be used while in airplane mode.
