Dang. Would containerization solve this, or at least help mitigate the damage?

Rachel's stories are always interesting, I always find myself learning new things from them, and I have been for over a decade now. They are a great reminder of my sysadmin past, now that I mostly do DBA work anymore. However, I do wonder if I should be sending her aspirin or tequila as tribute at times...

You could probably limit some of the insanity by walling off things that you absolutely need to run and can't work around. Even then you still have to worry about someone having too much fun inside the jail, container, or whatever your system offers.

As for aspirin and friends, well, being effectively retired has done wonders of late. But thanks!
