@ErikUden This is a pogrom - no less.

@ErikUden would be fun to see NL invoke NATO Art. 5 on US of A.

@pettter @cmiles74 @HauntedOwlbear @signalapp Indeed, but I’m afraid this becomes a slippery slope. Next thing you know you’re checking for any ”accessibility” components, or screen capture packages that have access to the framebuffer. Now what would you as a dev manager rather allocate limited developer resources for?

@cmiles74 @pettter @HauntedOwlbear @signalapp Risking stating the obvious here: Turning Signal into a full-on vuln scanner would definitely not be within their scope. If your OS - or any components handling I/O to-from the app - you use, it’s game over. Users should be made aware of the importance of general hygiene that messaging apps do not replace.

@Gargron Also most DB engines really need a sh*t-ton of RAM. If the DB has to go to disk - even SSD - you’re in a world of pain. Biggest challenge is to balance RAM / CPU. Sometimes need to tweak OS VM paging parms as well. A good DB does its own paging, as these workloads differ greatly from regular processes.
