- sunnybeetroot 6mo agoI stand corrected you’re right
- pseudohadamard 6mo agoExcept the GNU stuff, which has as a design principle "no arbitrary limits". Meaning no limits at all, not "no sane limits": Avoid arbitrary limits on the length or number of any data structure, including filenames, lines, files, and symbols, by allocating all data structures dynamically. I assume they're relying on the OOM Killer and quotas to prevent DoSes all over the place.
