I think we want a slightly finer grained permission model. I think specifically we want a plugin to be able to indicate if it's safe for it to be triggered without the user's direct consent, and then the user themselves can also o

Android provides you with a heavily locked down linux kernel and network setup, which is great for app sandboxing, but not great for certain tasks you might want on a server. For example, android makes it difficult to run userspace containe

It is fundamentally impossible to completely undo things, trivially so from the second law of thermodynamics. A company which produces nuclear waste can pay the cost to store it, but cannot undo its existence. A company that burns oil can o

I'm not claiming you are sabotaging things or going out of your way to do poor work, that's a given. However, based on your phrasing, you make it clear you're intentionally putting in less work than you could, and recognize i

I don't think that sort of strategy can work for everyone because there's two possible negative mental outcomes in there too. First, some people will feel that they're "cheating" and don't deserve the paycheck

Yup, ss and friends do this, but they don't read "/proc/$pid/cmdline" N times (where N is the number of file descriptors the process has) in the hotloop. I phrased it poorly. Doing the loop is what it is, but d

A loop over all fds across all processes on a box will be very slow on any large machine with, say, a few hundred thousand processes, some of which may have up to hundreds of thousands or millions of FDs open. Especially since it looks like

Let's say that you're unable to list all processes. What do you do to handle that error? You exit the program. What does unwrap do? It safely exits the program. Seems to be handling the error just fine to me. The only downside is

So with this, the last thing Go had going for it over Java is gone, right? Java has an obviously better type system, while Java originated the billion dollar mistake, Java also at this point has much better practices around handling nulls t

It depends on the operating system. On solaris, freebsd, and so on, the operating system ships the kernel and libc versions together, libc makes syscalls, and everyone else makes C ABI calls to libc. The libc ABI is in fact the only interfa

If your goal is a usable immutable distro, selinux is the wrong tool. It just doesn't operate at the layer of creating a linux distro, or declaring what containers are running, or declaring a list of flatpak apps, or whatever. My point

Sure, and on any distro you can "sudo mount -o remount,ro /" and also have a useless distro, just like using selinux to make the whole thing immutable. The difference is you won't have to spent 2 years learning a custom
