Related, I am wondering if somebody is aware of a project to wrap cli utilies in a minimal 'TUI', along the lines of this: https://github.com/chriskiehl/Gooey , but staying in the terminal. You'd pass th

A heads-up: I have been told flash wear can be a problem for such a use case if you always start writing records from the same address after transmitting the buffer. :)

Ah, thought it was allowed with 'unsafe-eval' in extension CSP. Never had a need for it. Remote code refers to injecting <script> tags into the page then?

Um, question, does remote code (as defined by the Webstore and Mozilla) refer to JS that is downloaded and eval()ed in the background and content script contexts, or <script> tags that are injected into the page, or both?

I think a 'video headset' doesn't try to such a wide angle as a 'VR headset.' I would really like one for programming on, as it's more portable than a big screen.

That's a personal decision, but I would say yes. Iran is a great place to visit, but a bit complicated as a UK/US citizen.

Not sure, but possibly, not much? Foreigners are given a pass on many issues. For example, you can easily rent a hotel room with your unmarried partner without a marriage certificate.

I studied in Iran for a couple of months and travelled a lot around the country as an anglophone atheist (that happens to speak Farsi). I don't think anyone ever asked me about religion. Everyone was nice.
