I tried Tailscale instead of Zerotier on my Ubuntu server but it was causing crazy CPU spikes

Interesting, I'll have to check out the CPU usage on my server. I've been running it for months now and haven't noticed anything, but it's worth a second look.

I noticed because my server is a decently old Dell Optiplex I bought off Craigslist next to my TV and the fans went crazy every time usage spiked lol. There weren't even any active connections yet.

Ah that makes sense, my server is a mini PC that has a quiet fan. I probably wouldn't notice if it was popping on throughout the day.

I did a quick top check and it seems like the tailscaled service is pretty consistent at %0.7 CPU usage, and %0.5 memory usage. It seemed to stay consistent when I initiated a remote connection via ssh as well. I'm going to continue testing it though, I don't like taxing my system. Ain't got the money to replace it, so it's gotta survive for as long as possible ๐Ÿ˜„
