setpriv on Linux supports Landlock.
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, it’s not a strong sandbox in jenny’s case, it could still read my SSH private key (in case of an exploit of some sort). But I still like it.
I think my main takeaway is this: Knowing that technologies like Landlock/pledge/unveil exist and knowing that they are very easy to use, will probably nudge me into writing software differently in the future.
jenny was never meant to be sandboxed, so it can’t make great use of it. Future software might be different.
(And this is finally a strong argument for static linking.)
