Small wins. But I did a deep dive into g-exps and trying out some things with #guix pola wrapper. It was fun. I'm happy. And I did the rasta thing with my locs in celebration: https://youtu.be/ZJxEgHoQuxM?si=Y2u2_hqG5fS_uZFg

@saitama Nice! I found g-exps really hard to grasp but once I did they are so cool and useful.

By the way, what is pola? Never heard of it but now I'm curious!

@boo_ My bad there. Just edited my post. Meant least-authority wrapper which allows gives a program only the priviliges you declare, and nothing more. Done by it forking a child process that lives in an entirely different namespace, and setting up mounts in that child process. If you don't mount anything, that child won't see the directly. It's a more secure way of running programs in g-exps. More here: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/54997

@saitama Cool! This is something I'll have to look into further!
