Tech Friday: Less blogging but monitoring Linux server stability

Posted By on June 20, 2025

Grok AI and I have become good friends over the past few weeks. I’ve been using artificial intelligence — with some success —  in order to fix a few ongoing issues Having problems?with MDB and the Linux server that has served me well for the past decade or so.

No … I’m not updating or doing anything crazy yet … but have realized that most of the problems are from outdated PHP code, hodgepodge theme updates over the years and old outdated and unsupported widgets and plugin. In other words, change is going to have to happen in the future.

For now, things seem stable and I’ll forego updating Linux to the latest release, PHP 8.1  any further or doing anything radical until there is a “blog update” plan in place. Part of me wants to tackle theme writing, but the other “wisdom of age” part of me knows it would be wiser to work with a new updated theme. For now, keeping CPU and memory issues to a minimum is all I’m asking. 😉 

First solid 24 hours without CPU and Memory issues
