Are there any means to detect that a cosmic ray caused such a crash without ECC memory? I recall that Drop Box had some issues early on with memory corruption due to how many low-end PCs ran Drop Box.
I recall coming across a more detailed write up a long time ago but still found mention of the issue [0]
> our clients rarely have ECC memory. We see a constant rate of memory corruption in the wild and end-to-end integrity verification always pays off.
