Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Deno in 2023
Windows has a lot of things in this department. https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-Sandbox-Utilities sounds similar to what you describe, but there are also finer-grained APIs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthz/app...

Ask HN: For those using Stable Diffusion locally, how do you filter fishy repos?
You could use the Windows Sandbox to prevent them from accessing anything sensitive on your computer. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-pro...

Is there a torrent website with no malware?
If you're unsure about a program's security (and you have 10 Pro), run it in Sandbox mode. Otherwise, download VMWare Workstation and create a virtual machine.

LPT: when taking tests requiring a monitoring software on your personal device, download a virtual machine (ex.OracleVM) and set up windows on it.
Windows Sandbox is literally made for this, is lighter, integrated into the OS and free.

Fake "Geek Squad" auto-renewal refund email scam (no "kindly"!!)
He directed me to start a browser, which I did inside Windows Sandbox (a new lightweight container-based VM-ish on Windows). He asked me to go to "9190.org" in the browser, enter the invoice number. That downloads a "ScreenShareClientRefund.exe" which he instructed me to start. At that point I told him "Nice try, scammer! That would have fooled a lot of people." He hung up - no drama.

Trojan when downloading RDR1 from Internet Archive
Windows Sandbox is a feature of Windows 10+. If you use older or can't use it for some reason, get VirtualBox and make a VM without any network access.

What Antivirus Program should I use?
Do you think he is confusing the partial sandboxing of Windows Defender with Windows Sandbox? If so, why?

Maestro: A Linux-compatible kernel in Rust
Isn't gVisor kind of this as well?
"gVisor is an application kernel for containers. It limits the host kernel surface accessible to the application while still giving the application access to all the features it expects. Unlike most kernels, gVisor does not assume or require a fixed set of physical resources; instead, it leverages existing host kernel functionality and runs as a normal process. In other words, gVisor implements Linux by way of Linux."

Faster Filesystem Access with Directfs
This sort of feels like seeing someone riding a bike and saying: why don’t they just get a car? The simple fact is that containers and VMs are quite different. Whether something uses VMX and friends or not is also a red herring, as gVisor also “rolls it own VMM” [1].

OS in Go? Why Not
There's two major production-ready Go-based operating system(-ish) projects:
- Google's gVisor[1] (a re-implementation of a significant subset of the Linux syscall ABI for isolation, also mentioned in the article)
- USBArmory's Tamago[2] (a single-threaded bare-metal Go runtime for SOCs)
Both of these are security-focused with a clear trade off: sacrifice some performance for memory safe and excellent readability (and auditability). I feel like that's the sweet spot for low-level Go - projects that need memory safety but would rather trade some performance for simplicity.

Tunwg: Expose your Go HTTP servers online with end to end TLS
It uses gVisor to create a TCP/IP stack in userspace, and starts a wireguard interface on it, which the HTTP server from http.Serve listens on. The library will print a URL after startup, where you can access your server. You can create multiple listeners in one binary.

How does go playground work?
The playground compiles the program with GOOS=linux, GOARCH=amd64 and runs the program with gVisor. Detailed documentation is available at the gVisor site.

Multi-tenancy in Kubernetes
You could use a container sandbox like gVisor, light virtual machines as containers (Kata containers, firecracker + containerd) or full virtual machines (virtlet as a CRI).
What are some alternatives?
node-ipc - A nodejs module for local and remote Inter Process Communication (IPC), Neural Networking, and able to facilitate machine learning.
firecracker - Secure and fast microVMs for serverless computing.
AutomatedLab - AutomatedLab is a provisioning solution and framework that lets you deploy complex labs on HyperV and Azure with simple PowerShell scripts. It supports all Windows operating systems from 2008 R2 to 2022, some Linux distributions and various products like AD, Exchange, PKI, IIS, etc.
podman - Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods.
Sandboxie - Sandboxie Plus & Classic
wsl-vpnkit - Provides network connectivity to WSL 2 when blocked by VPN
Sandbox-Setup - Bootstraping a Windows Sandbox
kata-containers - Kata Containers is an open source project and community working to build a standard implementation of lightweight Virtual Machines (VMs) that feel and perform like containers, but provide the workload isolation and security advantages of VMs. https://katacontainers.io/
Visual Studio Code - Visual Studio Code
sysbox - An open-source, next-generation "runc" that empowers rootless containers to run workloads such as Systemd, Docker, Kubernetes, just like VMs.
barrier - Open-source KVM software
containerd - An open and reliable container runtime
