æʃliŋ, loaf of autismo @aescling@cat.family

@vaporeon_ among many, many other things, yes

@vaporeon_ maybe isolate is too strong a word here. nothing fancy. i create a new user, have the purrocess run in a directory owned by that user (or by root, even) and if i need it to write at all just have a purrticular directory that that dedicated user owns

@vaporeon_ mostly i use unpurrivileged users with isolated access to the filesystem and purrobably otherwise trust the software i’m using too much if anything. systemd gives you an interface to a lot of linux’s hardening tools (e.g.) but i don’t know it well and purrefur not to use it anyway

@vaporeon_ the reason is that other systems/kernels have diffurent ideas about how to design similar kinds of features; FreeBSD has capsicum, a security model based on really fine grained capabilities. linux from what i understand kinda does not really have a design when it comes to security and has multiple overlapping systems fur locking down a purrocess

mornyawn btw . also @clock, what time is it

ÆSCLING ACTIVATES the TF MACHINE!

ÆSCLING does not transfurm! It is still ALOLAN NINETALES!

ÆSCLING SWISCHES its big fluffy $$$$-ing TAILS!

@coriander well by ”fucked up notion of what is hard” i mean things like “caleb thought all of celeste was disappointingly too easy except fur chapter 9”. in general if a game is relatively popular and commonly regarded as difficult he will usually think it is too easy fur his tastes

i think this comes from a combination of the time he spent a summer losing his goddamn mind over playing through rayman 1, a game that commonly harshly punishes you fur simply not knowing exactly what the right thing to do at a given moment is; and that he spent many furmative years of his life being a tryhard in smash, which, well, competitive games (more exactly, playing competitive games against people who are playing to win) are a purrticular category of difficult that single player games rarely bother to try to capture the feeling of

@coriander hmm

@coriander i think the game is not all that hard, up to and including the hard ending

@vaporeon_ i would read this

“the sacred grounds is really not all that hard” —me unironically

attempting cave story’s best ending has me realizing that i have a less extreme version of caleb’s fucked up notion of what is “hard”

smash is becoming really funny in concept because these sessions have been like

​ what the fuck do i do i can’t do anything i feel like i get punished fur everything

​ oh my god if i am 1% inaccurate at any time i could just Die

@wallhackio e621 calls it its flower trick. i call it its flower bomb

@wallhackio …i thought you were talking about the one paw that’s visible in the image as looking like the disembodied hand lmao

@vaporeon_ freebsd is the one with jails, openbsd’s hardening looks more like linux, in that you can drop somewhat fine grained purrivileges via system calls
