> That's because sandboxing is quite hard

colima makes it pretty easy, on macOS and linux at any rate.

Still wild to name a sandboxing software after one of the most infamous Soviet Gulags in history.

  • It's wilder to accuse someone of naming the container version of the lima sandboxing software after a gulag.

    These type of moral outrage comments take an extreme amount of effort to debunk compared to writing them.

    1. There is no gulag called Colima, it doesn't exist.

    2. There was a gulag near a river called Kolyma

    3. The pronounciation and spelling of Kolyma and Colima are completely different, in fact Colima is an Aztec word

    Colima stands for Containers on Lima. Lima stands for Linux Machines (a popular open-source utility used to launch Linux virtual machines on macOS).

    • > in fact Colima is an Aztec word

      I was curious if the adjacent tool name (Lima) had anything to do with the capital of Peru, but I guess not.

  • Others have covered why that isn't what's being done, but also if it was that would be a _fabulous_ joke.

    • I’m kind of sad it’s not named after it now, that would’ve been very amusing
