In plain words
FSSB is a filesystem sandbox tool for Linux that isolates file system access. It allows users to restrict how applications interact with the filesystem, controlling which files and directories can be read or modified. The tool is designed for developers and system administrators who need to run untrusted or experimental software while protecting the rest of their system from unwanted file access or modifications.

Uscope, a new Linux debugger written from scratch2025 · github.com · ▲262Hi! I've been building a debugger on my nights and weekends because it's fun, and I personally need a better debugger for my work. GDB and LLDB pain me greatly; we can and will do better! As explained in the README, it's still very early-days and it's not ready for use yet, but check back often because it's improving all the time! Check out https://calabro.io/uscope for a more detailed explanation. Thanks for taking a look!
