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.
It's for the best, really.
Gosh, I wonder what stirred them up?
Blame the Romans.
Both words are derived from late Latin mentalis, from Latin mens, ment- ‘mind’.
Exactly. Yet another truly awful something is about to happen that'll get buried under his new patio.
YES!
UK lawmakers - please take note also. Not just in cities but we find them jammed up in our country lanes too, and regularly crossing the centre line on B-roads.
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.)
If you know, you know.
If it prevents us having another crappy week thanks to the like of Crowdstrike, good.
