[20:22:51] PHP is inscrutable to me, on the 14th of August I updated it from 8.4.10 to 8.4.12 and all of a sudden the weird load spikes (load avg 30..50) are gone, with the good old maximums of maybe 2.5-3 when Varnish and memcached are restarted and a mean of 0.45 [20:23:47] https://i.koumakan.jp/2025-09-27/1759004591.png literally nothing changed except the PHP version, and the changelog for .11 and .12 gives zero hints [20:24:44] it was spending inordinate amounts of time on checking whether files exist, and somehow trashing ZFS's ARC in the process [20:26:22] Did you check the changelog? for fun you might try downgrading and see if it comes back... I am slowly containerizing everything. Mail and web are my last two tasks. [20:27:55] I am lazy so I asked AI and it said it did not see any issues like that... https://Screenshot.SeeMyShit.com/aroW0e3Dxt.png [20:31:58] TheFatherMind: quoting myself: and the changelog for .11 and .12 gives zero hints  [20:32:46] (I try to avoid interacting with advanced Markov chains bs generators so I checked the change logs myself) [21:05:43] I get it. I on the other hand save TONS of time by using them.. talking what would take me days to solve problems I do in one night.
