Some thoughts on how useful Anubis really is. Combined with comments I read elsewhere about scrapers starting to solve the challenges, I’m afraid Anubis will be outdated soon and we need something else.

      What CPU do you have made after 2004 that doesn’t have automatic temperature control ?
      I don’t think there is any, unless you somehow managed to disable it ?
      Even a raspberry pi without a heatsink won’t overheat to shutdown

        You are right, it is actually worse, it usually just overloads the CPU so badly that it starts to throttle and then I can’t even access the server via SSH anymore. But sometimes it also crashes the server so that it reboots, and yes that can happen on modern CPUs as well.

          You need to set you http serving process to a priority below the administrative processes (in the place where you are starting it, so assuming linux server that would be your init script or systemd service unit).

          Actual crash causing reboot ? Do you have faulty ram maybe ? That’s really not ever supposed to happen from anything happenning in userland. That’s not AI, your stuff might be straight up broken.

          Only thing that isn’t broken that could reboot a server is a watchdog timer.

          You server shouldn’t crash, reboot or become unreachable from the admin interface even at 100% load and it shouldn’t overheat either, temperatures should never exceed 80C no matter what you do, it’s supposed to be impossible with thermal management, which all processors have had for decades.
