I swear running dedicated game servers on my linux box for my friends is actually taking years off my life.
We spun up a heavily modded palworld container on my headless debian machine this week, and everyday I wake up to three different dms saying “server down??” or “rubberbanding is crazy right now”
like guys. The game is unoptimized garbage and the memory leak is eating 32 gigs of ram while you sleep. Its not my fault.
Got so annoyed staring at htop trying to catch the exact moment the spikes happen that I literally spent my lunch break reading through some server mania list of enterprise infrastructure tools. I am deadass about to deploy zabbix just to generate a nice little graph to prove to these idiots that their massive automated base is what’s choking the cpu, not my network
anyway just needed to vent. never volunteering my hardware for the survival game phase again tbh.
