This sounds exactly like Linux giving the old OOM killer. Reproduce the problem, then look at the output of sudo dmesg. If it shows something like “OOM killed process”, then yes, that’s the problem.

Do the following:

1. Consider giving less memory to the VM
2. Ensure you have at least a little swap space configured on Linux
3. Consider getting more memory
4. Exit other programs on Linux, especially web browsers

If you believe this article, commercial airlines are much much safer than passenger rail. There was another article that I don’t feel like citing that suggested that, in the US, trains didn’t even have a carbon advantage.

There’s something I call a “pill stick”, into which you put it in the barrel, jam it into the cats mouth while holding their jaw and then push the trigger. Requires a little finesse but easier than other methods.

Progressives work against progressive agendas by naming pro-safety policies like “don’t have police respond to mental health patients” as the Fox-news like “defund the police”.

Harris overtook Biden’s polling numbers quite quickly. Also, I find that Biden’s pardoning of the “kids4cash” judge demonstrates some extreme incompetence and tone deafness".

No, that’s incorrect.

It’s “Thou are tall” or “Thou art tall”

Yes, they have to do something with the male chicks

That’s not how tax deductions work.

I don’t think FelixCress is arguing in good faith, but to answer their question, yes.

The film Farha was shown in the Israeli town Jaffa, to much debate.

Just put it in the title text instead of just date?

Man, this is looking really appealing:

• Headphone jack!
• Great global and US network support
• “Honest” marketing of its cameras (lol!)
• Huge :(

Now the only thing that’s missing is if it’s reasonably easily rootable, so I’ll keep an eye on this phone.

No 3.5mm jack 😢

I would have probably bought and imported this already if it weren’t for the lack of headphone jack. :(

I changed my editorial to reflect that :)

Not sure what you mean by OS-level

By OS-level, I mean Linux terminated the process because the process tried to do an instruction it wasn’t allowed to do, specifically, trying to access a memory location it wasn’t allowed to. That leads to a segmentation fault, on Linux.

It’s pretty much a DoS at this point.

Calling it a DoS is missing a lot of nuance because you’re blaming Google’s script, not Firefox. Having 20000 variables in a single frame is something a javascript program is allowed to do; it’s a well-formed program that doesn’t violate any rules of Javascript, so the fault is not in google’s script, but in Firefox’s JS interpreter. That doesn’t mean that Google’s script is good quality, but it’s still valid.

Finally, what makes this particularly bad? Any “undefined behavior” can be exploited as security holes [ § “Undefined Behavior and Security Don’t Mix Well”].

Now, it is possible to get a segmentation fault without having gone through a undefined behavior: by allocating memory, and then asking linux to make that memory inaccessible.

It’s also possible to have undefined behavior and not get a segmentation fault: by chance you go past the end of a memory allocation into another valid allocation. This would be very bad because then your program definitely has a security hole.

So, if we decide that “google’s JS is so bad that we shouldn’t run it”, the script should stop running because Firefox’s JS interpreter stops running it. Firefox should pop up a window saying “the Javascript on this page was cancelled because Google sucks”. I think this is incorrect, because the script is valid, but it’s not bad because at least there’s no exploitable security hole.

Or, you could have Firefox force itself to exit without triggered undefined behavior. That would actually would be a DoS, but at least you can’t steal encryption keys or whatever off the system.
