> I'd love to see pledge/unveil on (upstream) Linux - but I'm not holding my breath

There is Landlock now, I believe it would be possible to implement unveil and pledge on top of that.

View on HN

Apparently someone tried wrapping landlock in unveil:

... And looks like cosmopolitan libc wraps landlock for unveil, in addition to implement pledge.

One of HN's favorite hackers has done that: https://justine.lol/pledge/

There was a discussion here about it a few years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32096801

Interesting choice of word

She's excellent and her stuff has made it to the front page many times. I love seeing her work come up and I imagine many others here feel the same way.

If you're someone who can separate the work from the author, sure. She's a very intelligent person. Many of us can't.

Fair enough. I didn't know what was supposed to be objectionable about her personally until your last comment made me do some Googling. Bleh.

To be honest, I feel like I still don't really know much about who she really is or what real political work she's doing recently, if any. And I kinda don't wanna know anyway; I don't wanna play political blacklist enforcer.

But I understand your reaction now. :-\
