I'm writing an experimental PL and I want to exercise it on real programs asap. These need to be useful (so I actually try them), but simple (my PL is unfinished). My current ideas: * A git fuzzy branch switcher (shell commands) * dotfiles sync (filesystem access) Suggestions?

IPFS is a really nice distributed filesystem that is slowly growing in popularity. Netflix has found a good use case: container image distribution. https://containerjournal.com/topics/container-management/ipfs-emerges-as-tool-to-distribute-container-image I'm slightly reminded of Usenet: just download content from the nearest server!

OpenBSD adds unveil(), a new syscall for restricting filesystem access. Like pledge(), it aims to maximise adoption through having a limited (but very comprehensible) API.
