<a href="{% post_url 2025-02-02-dn42-put-it-in-a-box-linux-network-namespace
%}">As reported previously</a>, I had problems with the CPU usage on my VPS
again, even after namespace isolation. This time, it was dnsmasq causing the
loadavg to rise. "This is a problem for future me to solve properly", is the
motto. For the time being, I simply added a service restart when I detect a high
loadavg. Works well enough. I'll keep monitoring it to see if this occurs more
than once a week or so.
