## bypassing resource limits
(by [~khuxkm](https://khuxkm.tilde.team/))
So occasionally, when you're working with the services user, you'll run into "error: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable" errors.
Here's how to fix it:
07:11 <~khuxkm> so this is seriously dumb
07:11 <~khuxkm> so how you fix limits is
07:12 <~khuxkm> sudo -iu services
07:12 <~khuxkm> use ps -aux to find the bash process ("-bash")
07:12 <~khuxkm> then `sudo prlimit --pid <pid> --nproc 1000000:100000000`
07:12 <~khuxkm> then do what you need to do
07:12 <~khuxkm> then exit the bash session
