corporate managed laptops are the worst
My MacBook had load over 600, even after a reboot it was unusable (load still 500+).
I looked at Activity Monitor and noticed kernel_task was maxing out as much as it can and so was syslogd.
I looked at recent writes to log files in /var/log and noticed junk from acnvmagent.
I killed that process. It came back.
I ran `sudo chmod 0 /opt/cisco/anyconnect/NVM/bin/acnvmagent` and killed the process.
It did not come back. Now my laptop is usable again.
Possibly relevant log message:

a somewhat reasonable python2.7 on macos in 2022

a somewhat reasonable python2.7 on macos in 2022

Yes, this sucks, but look, there are still python2.7 projects out there. Homebrew did the wrong thing by removing their 2.7 forumla.

The system python2.7 doesn't have ability to install virtualenv or even pip. ☹️

That said, use homebrew to install zlib and bzip2 and maybe openssl as deps.

disable restricted, universe, multiverse in ubuntu server/cloud

If you are using a server or cloud image, you may not want to install the necessary packages to get add-apt-repository. /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ is empty by default so you can edit only /etc/apt/sources.list.

Without comments, OOTB docker image looks like this for me:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic multiverse
