    That says that it moved to github.com/opsengine/cpulimit 12 years ago.

    That said, if portability is not a concern, adjusting the max bandwidth of the cpu controllers of a dedicated control group for Chrome processes is the better approach.

  2. oooof.... learning the difference between #taskset and #cpulimit to prevent system overheating has been a painful one! Needless to say, #taskset will lock a process to certain CPU cores, but not limit it's max usage. You can STILL overheat pretty badly! Learned THAT the hard way. #cpulimit on the other-hand, will limit the total CPU power by pausing the process periodically when it goes too high... thus keeping temps down exactly like I needed! #themoreyouknow #linux #cli #bashscripting

  3. You remember how a few days ago I was all "rah rah is teh awesum"? Well, it annoyed me, so I made it even awesomer: github.com/opsengine/cpulimit/. Alas, the author hasn't touched it in years, so I don't expect that to ever get merged 😞

  4. I just found , which nicely (haha) complements . nice makes your process get out of the way if something else has a higher priority. cpulimit makes it just get out of the way, so if I start something like going just before bed time the machine won't run the noisy fans but will still have the job done by the time I wake up. It works by throttling a process with SIGSTOP/SIGCONT a bit like how sabotages network connections. github.com/opsengine/cpulimit

  5. Installing AUR software on the can make it hot, word of advice: use

  6. is destroying my cpu cores, trying to render a speedpaint video of my painting... had to use the good ol'

  7. limits a program's CPU usage.

    cpulimit is a small program which connects with a process using its PID or by running it itself. cpulimit then monitors its usage, and throttles it down if too high of a percentage is used. cpulimit can be made to kill instead of throttle, run quietly, limit child processes, and send a custom signal when cpulimit stops.
