Quotas

I don't understand this one, could you please explain what the quotas are for?

Juerd # { site => 'juerd.nl', plp_site => 'plp.juerd.nl', do_not_use => 'spamtrap' }

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    The quotas are there so you can specify how much memory, CPU time, IO, or events a program running in safe mode is allowed to use. Useful for running untrusted code to prevent, or at least deter, denial of service attacks.
