	limited resources

	Tonight I set up resource limits on cosmic. Specifically I set up
	CPU and Memory limits for users. I don't get a lot of bad eggs
	amongst the voyagers, but it's easy to take a bigger slice of the
	pie than you intend on a tiny tilde. Someone had a newsreader
	running tonight that was accidentally using the entire 1024MB
	I have to offer.

	I wasn't sure how to set this up, so I did a little research and
	for once systemd came to the rescue. Here's what I did:

	----

	mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/user-.slice.d

	cat > /etc/systemd/system/user-.slice.d/50-memory.conf << EOF
	[Slice]
	MemoryMax=80M
	CPUQuota=8%
	EOF

	sudo vim /etc/systemd/system.conf

	# uncomment and set the following values in that file:
	DefaultCPUAccounting=yes
	DefaultMemoryAccounting=yes

	systemctl daemon-reload

	----

	And that's it! I may tweak those quota values over time to make
	sure the system stays healthy but people can still use it. So far
	so good.
