## Security notes
We always strive to be transparent with you, our esteemed users, and we strive to keep you informed of the following current security issues:
- the project was founded by an incompetent monkey;
- the author of the project lives in Russia;
- the daemon runs with super-user privileges and has full access to all private memory of all processes and sensitive user data;
- the daemon starts with increased priority and negative oom_score_adj;
- the daemon is written in Python;
- unit test code coverage is 0%;
- the main way to handle low memory is to terminate processes;
- the daemon does not forbid you to shoot yourself in the foot: with some settings, unwanted mass killings of processes can occur.
