I am Romanian. I don't think there is an "ongoing verbal, legal and sometimes physical harassment of the Hungarian minority". There were isolated conflicts, mainly artificially perpetuated by radicals for (pretty small) political gains. Also, the Hungarian minority political party (UDMR) is currently a part of the government coalition (not the first time it happens).

I guess Eastern Europeans were the normal workers until now.

Something similar happened in 2016 in Romania, with the chief prosecutor of the national anti-corruption agency.

How would it send a message if it can't allocate memory anymore?

I have and it wasn't good. It is impossible to handle out of memory exceptions inside the BEAM. At best, you can hope for a crash of the VM. At worse, it just hangs. And one will most likely not find out about this until they hit this scenario.

>BTW, it's very hard to bring BEAM down. Most exceptions will bring kill the faulty process, but leave the supervisor tree untouched. Only "unmanaged" code (for example, calling a C library using a NIF) might crash the whole VM.

Not completely true. Try to allocate more memory than available and then see what happens.

I am not disagreeing with you, but I want to point out that, usually, the certificate is generated locally during setup and then installed in the trusted certificates store. So no one else should have that certificate. I also assume there is an option somewhere to disable the MITM scanner.
