what's your load average right now?

See https://www.reddit.com/r/uptimeporn. But I wonder how many of these records are fake.

My netbook was stored away for six years before I starting using it again. If only I had known this earlier.

Just as I suspected, my load average is a bit up there.

It depends what you're doing. One of my machines is a slackrepo build server; if I took the measurement when I was recompiling qt5, my numbers would have been a lot higher.

I had my system up for 66 or 76 days once (it was one of those 2, I just can't remember which). Not bad really for out in the woods, literally, and a mosquito fart causes a brownout.

Anyway, did something the other day, can't remember what *it* was (getting old sucks!), but it made the system so slow it might as well had locked up, so I had to hard boot. I have virtualbox up running something almost 24/7/365.

Code:

This is older laptop that I had KDE up a few weeks, KDE was acting a little sluggish so I tried to leave.

Now the screen has underscore upper left corner, I can ssh, that's how I got top output above.

Tried Magic SysRq key r and k, nothing happened.

I can reboot but I'm curious about about what happened.

Just checked messages and syslog.

syslog is large
-rw-r----- 1 root root 335741915 Nov 18 00:11 /var/log/syslog
and almost entirely filled with these

Some keys on the keyboard have been sticking or not responsive, is one stuck?
