gollark: You can also use `setfenv`, but I think that might go away eventually? Depends on the will of the squidly one.
gollark: `load(your_code, filename [or nil, probably], "t", environment_table)`
gollark: Well, the sandboxing backend for potatOS does, but it's close enough.
gollark: PotatOS just passes in a replacement `_G` table to `load`.
gollark: It looks like a usable approach would be to just sandbox "webpages" to allow... basically just a subset of term access, all the random utility functions and libraries which are important, *maybe* HTTP (impose limits on requests - "CORS" type things, perhaps?), and a few things for user input and whatnot.
