I should look into customizing searx. I am interested in curating tech blogs to search through. I won't do that soon, as I have some pressing projects to work on. Just writing about it to share my interest.
I was able to use your searx to find the answer to a proxmox question I was wondering about. Found a result of the first page that took me to what looks like the correct answer.
It is time to stop using DuckDuckGo. Sad. I really liked and used DDG for quite a few years.
I've been getting garbage results connected to my general location completely unrelated to what I was searching. That's been happening to me for the last couple months.
I tried Mojeek search, but found better results for the technical things I search for with search.brave.com
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?
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.
