Go has an os.Root API that allows you to enforce all paths are subdirectories of a given root. It fixes users accessing foo/../../../etc/passwd and similar. Seems like a really nice solution for a relatively common problem.

I'm increasingly treating terminal sessions as short lived: starting a fresh terminal tab keeps scrollback short and easy to search. I'd love to have a terminal emulator that allows me to skip over output of specific verbose commands when searching.

I've been really enjoying paru as a pacman substitute on Arch Linux: https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru It allows you to update both normal and AUR packages in one go, which is super convenient. It also shows you PKGBUILD files, so there's still a human audit step for AUR.
