2020-12-02 | Reading time: 2 minutes

After installing Big Sur, I noticed a periodically high CPU load, and later found out that huge amounts of data (2.8 TB, yep, *T*B) were read from the HDD within a short amount of time. Turns out, it's very very likely some unsigned .pkg files from gog.com were to blame.

Okay, I admit it ... there is a quotation, I am thinking Einstein, but I do not know, about how it is easier to stop in the beginning than when you have actually done a few steps. And I think it might fit well to the current Corona measures.

A comment for those seeking to use this site for personal gain: Given the increase in requests, let me be clear. I write on this blog because I want to. It’s my hobby, my playground. Sometimes people point me to interesting products/services and I write about them. But any request regarding ads or sponsored placements ends up the trash without a reply. And if you think something would be of interest, differentiate yourself from the spammers by referring to a posting — in an intelligent way. (I get enough auto-generated mails to identify them immediately.)

BTW, posts can get updated after I published them if I spot spelling errors (not a native speaker) or think a different wording might improve precision and clarity.
