Related self-promotion: I built pgtemp ( https://github.com/boustrophedon/pgtemp ) to automate doing exactly these mkdir/initdb/load/destroy steps.

There are several sites with instant quotes that are cheaper than Shapeways. PCBWay and JLCPCB both offer similarly-priced very cheap 3d printing and CNC services out of China. Wee…

I'm not sure if it's related, but I have the git branch in my PS1 and I've noticed that it's much slower to show a new prompt when inside very large repositories now, and I don't t…

Linux has seccomp and landlock, which are basically harder-to-use versions of pledge/unveil.

Since the author mentioned rewriting it in Rust, I recently added support to my library extrasafe that allows you to sandbox your own code: https://harrystern.net/extrasafe-user-na…
