randomletters	what's the github/lab url of the redox background? the one that creates a full-screen uncloseable window with no border at the back of the screen? I saw some code there (like, specifiying multiple enums, as an option "flag" sort of thing? if I knew how to describe it, I would've googled it lol)	00:40:27
randomletters	I checked orbital, but that wasn't it	00:40:54

randomletters	yep, I think it's the second one	00:44:10
randomletters	thanks ribbon!	00:44:13

mobius_771	Hi there. I brought something like this up like a week ago or so (immutability), but back to cause more trouble lol. Really I'm just interested in OS security. As I understand redox packages, they're binaries with native integration, just like a standard linux distro? So no sandbox, or even option to sandbox?	13:44:05
mobius_771	By default I mean. I guess the user could implement that, no?	13:45:07

Currently they aren't sandboxed, but they will be. The Contain program was improved to become our sandbox solution and is working, see: https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/redox/-/blob/master/config/x86_64/desktop-contain.toml?ref_type=heads	13:51:06

The Contain program was improved to become our sandbox solution and is working, see: https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/redox/-/blob/master/config/x86_64/desktop-contain.toml?ref_type=heads Contain currently only works when run as root, as we have to expand our namespace management to allow it for non-root users and to provide layered sandboxing.	13:52:16
mobius_771	That is awesome news! Definitely going to give that a read	13:52:28
rw_van	Contain is a filesystem proxy that runs like a driver (scheme) in the background and starts the user's program in the sandbox.	13:53:53
Ribbon	In reply to @mobius_771:matrix.org That is awesome news! Definitely going to give that a read Our plan is to make all filesystem configurations use it.	13:53:59
mobius_771	The more I learn about redox, I think it's the future. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love linux, but it's outdated - C, monolithic kernel, write permissions, no default sandbox, etc. It was made for the 90s and isn't capable of dealing with security in 2024+ environment	13:56:33

mobius_771	I wish I knew Rust already and could write drivers 😭	13:58:45

mobius_771	Thanks, Ribbon! But I'm in intro to programming in college lol. Another couple of years perhaps	14:00:13

mobius_771	Hi there again. I was trying to find that hardware page on gitlab that lists what works with what hardware, but couldn't seem to. Maybe someone would please be so kind as to point me in the right direction. I'd like to get a dedicated machine to run redox. Currently it won't boot on mine. Thanks	21:59:36

mobius_771	Yep, that's it, thanks!	22:26:11
mobius_771	All I was finding was the hwio repo	22:26:27
mobius_771	I really appreciate that	22:31:49

ネコ	does redox have a kernel io cache?	07:25:30
ネコ	and does it work with http urls?	07:25:40
ネコ	that would be neat i think	07:27:39
