Preload

[duje]

Cool little background app that tracks your usage of apps over time, and puts more RAM into what you use most often;
faster load times = profit
Can be obtained in stable repo by searching preload

FI: Cool app, but not very secure :

"...: what I meant above is that, normally, any user can use LD_PRELOAD to inject any library into any executable that they can run, and that is not setuid or setgid. This is a known mechanism for creating hidden, persistent malware. Is there any way I can prevent a given user from using LD_PRELOAD at all?"

is that the same thing https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Preload

what this basically does is opening your most used apps snappier

Ah sorry, it's for prelink , (not preload)
For preload, for me it's not efficient (except if you have a lot of available RAM), usually the result is better only by playing with swappiness: 10 (default 60) cache pressure: 50 (default 100) dev: /dev/sda5

Code: Select all

inxi -v8 #to see the config

FI: I have installer rkhunter, and rkhunter ask me to remove or securise prelink.
