btw funny story since many comments mention NFS/CIFS:

I have a share mounted at /smb and the server sometimes just dies so when I want to unmount it I run umount /smb but my shell (zsh) hangs after typing umount /sm and the b doesn’t even show

I guess zsh does a kind of stat() on everything you type but bash came to save the day

the link doesn’t work anymore

some reasons that I can think of:

• performance improvements (e.g. JIT)
• new standards (e.g. WASM)
• vulnerabities
• new features (e.g. web engines weren’t always sandboxed)

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda status=progress

hmm why is it so fast

OH

CTRL-C

and then a kernel panic yeah my fs was gone

Android apps are sandboxed by default while packages on Linux run with the users permission.

There is already something like this with Flatpak since it also sandboxes every installed program and only grants requested permissions.

Guix uses shepherd so yeah

It’s like Nix but has some extra features and uses Scheme instead of a custom language.
