Reminder to configure earlyOOM and or watchdog on your servers... In case some fuckass service decides to leak memory at GBytes per minute and lock up a remote machine with no kvm

Or put each service in a cgroup with a sufficiently small memory limit (eg. using systemd's MemoryMax=)

Though that requires going through all the services and picking a reasonable limit for each, which could be a pain.

@wolf480pl I use containers which do let me set limits, but deciding on a limit for each as well as managing like 3-4 of said container limits per service gets annoying fast.
