I was searching for this answer too...

From wiki: > Memory safety is the state of being protected from various software bugs and security vulnerabilities when dealing with memory access, such as buffer overflows and dangling pointers

Dart has isolates, so I thought it was memory-safe. But searching for buffer overflow or dangling pointer on dart's github repo returns results, so I'm still left wondering.

From the document, slide 51:

> User NSs permit novel applications; for example: > Running Linux containers without root privileges > Docker, LXC

This seems to answer yes to your question.

Lovely! Thanks for sharing this awesome-looking tool :)

edit: oh, it's also mentioned in the document slide 53 along with Flatpak

I have never used OpenBSD, but isn't Linux getting closer to their equivalent pledge and unveil? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17277067

This is great news, because I can't switch over to OpenBSD (docker, bluetooth, etc) or more folkloric distributions like VoidOS and Qubes. Going to make a bunch of Anki cards today to remember these namespaces and how to use them!

I found this article very interesting while studying a bit more about the various pieces of information displayed by glances.

It neatly explains the differences between processes, threads, and context, and I learned about the fact that Linux has an extremely low cost of context switching and mode switching compared to other systems.

Yet, I'm still not sure what to do with this ctx_sw value from glances. Anyone using it? How can I define whether the number is too large? What actions should I then take? debugging the processes causing a large number of switches, rebooting, other? I would love to hear from experienced linux users!

You are Dori, a noble living in the kingdom of Larion. You have a pouch of gold and a small dagger. You are awakened by one of your servants who tells you that your keep is under attack. You look out the window and see a large army marching towards your door

> escape with the servants and the gold

You run to the servants' room and grab the gold and the servant's bodies. The soldiers fire arrows at you but miss. They fire their crossbows at the corpses but they also miss. You throw your gold into the air and jump up and down as loud as you can

My servants became corpses before the large army even arrived xD
