#22That's cool. Sounds very impressive. What's the point of all this security though? You don't want it to access your files, just give it its own Linux user. You don't even need a container. Better yet, you can give it root on a $3 VPS (or $30 Thinkpad) and get a sysadmin for free :) Although, Cheerpx... that seems to imply your agent can play Java and Flash games. Alright, you might be on to something!

I actually ran into this today. Needed a fresh environment to replicate a bug.
