> not just contain the execution environment.

See, my typical execution environment is a Linux vm or laptop, with a wide variety of SSH and AWS keys configured and ready to be stolen (even if they are temporary, it's enough to infiltrate prod, or do some sneaky lateral movement attack). On the other hand, typical application execution environment is an IAM user/role with strictly scoped permissions.


TBH ChatGPT does the same, when I mix Polish and English. Generally getting some cyrillic characters and it gets super confused.

`useradd` doesn't restrict network access.

I have used a separate user, but lately I have been using rootless podman containers instead for this reason. But I know too little about container escapes. So I am thinking about a combination.

Would a podman container run by a separate user provide any benefit over the two by themselves?


Without any credentials does network access matter?

This. Opening a chat for the first time in the morning consistently takes 5-10 seconds. Opening subsequent ones takes 2-3 seconds. That is, if they contain plain text. If not, UI keps reflowing and jumping while thumbnails and silly gifs are loaded async, so you cannot even reliably click.


And if I watch a movie it will pop up after 5 minutes

Huh, I just noticed that my laptop has one. Never recognized it.

As you say, it is still very useful for older phones. Only the newest top-of-the-line ones got the real thing.

Termux is also an excellent solution for downloading videos from YouTube and similar sites, due to the fact that yt-dlp works really well (and using mobile data makes it easier to avoid IP bans, most of the time anyway).

You can use an easier way for yt-dlp:

How do I share the files back to Termux from this 'app'?

If you disable SELinux, I believe you can also set up the MPV app to use Termux's yt-dlp executable.

I like doing the same in CI jobs, like in Jenkins I'll add a DRY_RUN parameter, that makes the whole job readonly. A script that does the deployment would then only write what would be done.

I had this charger once! Really cool with the powerbank option. Although, these days, 5V@1A with no PD is probably something to use maybe in emergency, it's too slow for modern devices.

Sounds like a good task for AI... wait what
