How I used a named pipe to save memory and prevent crashes (in Perl)
My original solution was an obvious one but had an interesting bug. I simply would use Perl's system command to execute the SlackBuild script with a shell, where I would pipe stdout to tee, writing the stdout to a temporary file. After the SlackBuild would execute I would read the temporary file looking for the Slackware package $PATH created line. This solved the problem of allowing both the user and sbozyp to read the stdout of the SlackBuild script. For 99% of builds this worked fine ... but then there was qemu. Qemu is a massive project that requires a huge compilation. My system uses a small 4GB tmpfs mounted at /tmp, and the temporary file that was being teed to ended up getting so large from all the qemu compilation output that tee (and thus sbozyp) crashed for "device out of space".

Running Raspberry Pi OS in a Docker Container
There are plenty of tutorials and other Docker images running Raspberry Pi OS using QEMU, but unfortunately, all of them utilize the OS image at runtime as an SD card. Hence, they do not support mounting volumes to share the filesystem.

Minimal tips to run isolated code
There are several choices for running code in partial or full isolation. Some languages include lightweight environments that do not interfere with each other, e.g., virtual environments in Python. However, due to caching and links, these are not sufficiently isolated for us. At the other end of the spectrum, we can run code in a node of a cloud computing service. However, the overhead and cost make this not worthwhile given our needs: isolation, but not very strong security requirements. Alternatively, we can run a virtual machine or emulator such as QEMU, VirtualBox, or others. This also has too much overhead given our needs.

Weird things I learned while writing an x86 emulator
Over the last year I have been rewriting QEMU's x86 decoder. I am now at a point where it should not be too hard to add APX support.
My decoder is mostly based on the tables in the manual, and the code is mostly okay—not too much indentation and phases mostly easy to separate/identify. Nevertheless there are several cases in which the manual is wrong or doesn't say the whole story.
The top comment explains a bit what's going on: https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/59084feb256c617063e0dbe7e6...
