When you build from source 🥲

Everything below 90 is cool.
- My grandpa is going to be sad...

- It's a laptop 😔.
  
  If that's the CPU temperature then it's running really efficiently, you'd expect up to 100°C if you were doing something intense!
That's nothing. My laptop regularly reaches 100C doing basic gaming lol.

  Not sure if the pun is intended (steam).
Is this a Linux kernel 6.66 joke?
- No, the 66°C was just a coincidence 😂.
Maybe we'll discover Gentoo is emitting as much CO2 as China
- It's Void, but still 😂.
  
  i also use void linux
Time to test out that 8 year old thermal paste!
- It's actually 11 years old 😬, but I changed it a few years ago ☺️.
Just out of curiosity I just started building the Linux kernel to see what my system does, but the CPU isn't going over 10% load and is hovering around 40 degrees. I just ran make without any parameters, is there a way to get it to use more than a single cpu core at a time?

Edit: Now we're cooking. make -j$(nproc)

99% CPU utilization at 56 degrees.

  99% CPU utilization at 56 degrees.
  
  Such an understatement for 56C 😒.
  
  I use a DeepCool AK620 CPU cooler.

- my laptop is at 56°C idle, then again it is summer here
  
  edit: the moment i went to check it is now at 47°C with the browser open. maybe it was reporting the wrong temperature or it's just cooler today
winter is hitting hard on some parts, I see
- lol 🤣🤣🤣, yeah, I had the window open 🤣.
You need some cooling sir
- I need to take this thing apart and blow the dust from the fan 😂.
  
  You might want to replace your thermal paste as well.
sudo emerge -av firefox
Thermald and TPM
me but while running libsvtav1
- Also when you do x265 encodes 🥲.
What are you compiling?
- yt-dlg. It's wxPython based, so it takes A LOT of time and CPU power... or maybe my laptop is just old 😂.
