gollark: In potatOS I do #2. Unfortunately the sandboxing implementation is about 500 lines of code, very version-specific because it runs half the BIOS for weird internal reasons, and has several known holes.
gollark: There are two ways around this:- make your "OS" unable to run arbitrary code and instead use a highly limited shell/GUI- sane sandboxing via providing no/a limited FS API to environments where you can run arbitrary code
gollark: The crux of the issue is that people can via a variety of methods write and run code which can edit your thing even if you pointlessly meddle with the shell.
gollark: No.
gollark: Hahahahahahaha.
