> Here’s the test. If /tmp/.XIN-unix/javae exists on my host, I’m fucked. If it doesn’t exist, then what I’m seeing is just Docker’s default behavior of showing container processes in the host’s ps output, but they’re actually isolated.

  /tmp/.XIN-unix/javae &
  rm /tmp/.XIN-unix/javae
This article’s LLM writing style is painful, and it’s full of misinformation (is Puppeteer even involved in the vulnerability?).

Yeah fair, I asked claude to help because honestly this was a little beyond my writing skills. I'm real though. Sorry. Will change

Hi Jake! Cool article, and it's something I'll keep in mind when I start giving my self-hosted setup a remodel soon. That said, I have to agree with the parent comment and say that the LLM writing style dulled what would otherwise have been a lovely sysadmin detective work article and didn't make me want to explore your site further.

I'm glad you're up to writing more of your own posts, though! I'm right there with you that writing is difficult, and I've definitely got some posts on similar topics up on my site that are overly long and meandering and not quite good, but that's fine because eventually once I write enough they'll hopefully get better.

Here's hoping I'll read more from you soon!

Thanks for the encouragement! I find it difficult to write articles beyond simply stating a series of facts.

I tried handwriting https://blog.jakesaunders.dev/schemaless-search-in-postgres/ bit I thought it came off as rambling.

Maybe I'll have a go at redrafting this tomorrow in non LLM-ese.
