For a server os, do things like consider stability and ease of upgrading between major versions.
Debian does both of those things extremely well.
If you’re playing around with changing distros and your data is valuable, I’d try and find somewhere to back it up to, myself.
So you need the self control required to add this extension for those sites you don’t have the self control not to visit too often?
If it prevents us having another crappy week thanks to the like of Crowdstrike, good.
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.

Blame the Romans.
Both words are derived from late Latin mentalis, from Latin mens, ment- ‘mind’.
If you know, you know.
Known 35 years next month. Married 35 years in November.
after our kid was born she said I smelled differently and she was repulsed by me.
Oh, man, that’s brutal.
Other have answered the runtime and load question very well already.
I have three other points.
Batteries degrade over time. Over-speccing your UPS means more likelyhood that things will hold up in three years time as the capacity given is for new ones. Plus, not running your UPS at 100% capacity reduces its stress. Again, more reliable.
You can get a much better quality UPS by buying a second hand one without batteries off ebay and replacing them yourself, typically for a fraction of the cost of buying new. Plus you know you have new batteries. UPS is something where quality genuinely matters. I’ve had to carry a cheap and badly made UPS out of an office whilst it was on fire, so now I spec more carefully. (And ensure they’re metal bodied!)
Consider what you NEED to power. What sort of power cuts are you expecting? Does it matter if something goes down?
I UPS my servers and my main desktop, but not my routers, nor my wifi or IOT things. My internet provider also goes out when there’s a cut (I’m on a mesh system so rely on neighbours, who will typically also be down) and I can’t do much without power anyway, but it keeps the disks spinning. We typically get very short automated outages here of less than 10s (yesterday was a bad day, we had 9 within 2 hours)
I mean, we knew that anyway, right?
Because Musk has turned it into somewhere that hate speech is not only tolerated, but encouraged.
Lemmy is literally the antithesis of X, no wonder you’re being downvoted.
Why are you cross posting content from a hate site?
It’s dangerous. People are a 35 times more likely to be killed by guns than my country.
Every time I’ve tried it, my work has been reverted a few days later for reasons I don’t agree with.
Whilst I like Wikipedia and use it as a reader, my motivation to help it grow (like I do with many other things) is zero.
Good answer. Like a michelin chef working at McDonald’s and having a little secret area of his own.
I don’t think I can agree with that, and I’m a pretty agreeable chap.
In the days when people actually cared about the html layout and readability, FP spammed everything hugely, and inserted a lot of terrible cruft. Inventing zillions of new <style> tags for everything, even when the user just wanted to italicise a word. Use a <i> tag? No! We’ll invent a whole new style class and embed it in the headers.
A few years ago I rather stupidly agreed to take over hosting of a website for someone that was dying. It had been written with FP and it took me months to de-cruft it using a lot of regexp and scrifting. (Some 8,000 images and around 2000 .html files).
