How do I implement rate limiting in an ASP.NET MVC site?
I’m building an ASP.NET MVC site where I want to limit how often authenticated users can use some functions of the site.

What is a maximum number of arguments in a Python function?
It’s somewhat common knowledge that Python functions can have a maximum of 256 arguments. What I’m curious to know is if this limit applies to *args and **kwargs when they’re unrolled in the following manner:
Limiting Python input strings to certain characters and lengths
I just started learning my first real programming language, Python. I’d like to know how to constrain user input in a raw_input to certain characters and to a certain length. For example, I’d like to show an error message if the user inputs a string that contains anything except the letters a-z, and I’d like to show one of the user inputs more than 15 characters.
do changes in /etc/security/limits.conf require a reboot?

What is a canonical way to find the actual maximum argument list length?
Following ARG_MAX, maximum length of arguments for a new process it seems like ARG_MAX is wrongly (or at least ambiguously) defined on my Mac Mini 3,1 running Ubuntu 12.04:
Creating threads fails with “Resource temporarily unavailable” with 4.3 kernel
I am running a docker server on Arch Linux (kernel 4.3.3-2) with several containers. Since my last reboot, both the docker server and random programs within the containers crash with a message about not being able to create a thread, or (less often) to fork. The specific error message is different depending on the program, but most of them seem to mention the specific error Resource temporarily unavailable. See at the end of this post for some example error messages.

How to Throttle per process I/O to a max limit?
I’m looking for a way to limit a processes disk io to a set speed limit. Ideally the program would work similar to this:
Practical limit on the number of btrfs snapshots?
I am considering using btrfs on my data drive so that I can use snapper, or something like snapper, to take time based snapshots. I believe this will let me browse old versions of my data. This would be in addition to my current off site backup since a drive failure would wipe out the data and the snapshots.
Preventing tar from using too much CPU and disk (old laptop crashes if 100%)
I want to backup 1 terabyte of data to an external disk.
