@NebulaTide @thedaemon @claudiom For sure!
Every once in a while, if a project/task seems to necessitate it, I'll go as far as running #Firefox or #UngoogledChromium as another unprivileged sandbox user in a #Xephyr display using my own [rudimentary] #Xsunaba utility. I _still_ wouldn't trust it any further than I can throw it, and it's only marginally safer and less trouble than spinning up a VM.
Every added layer of the onion is another that someone else has to bite through. More tears?
I had suspected it'd be the case, but I can confirm that #SDL applications that do not require hardware acceleration do run nicely in #Xephyr under #OpenBSD. I was able to play some #IndianaJonesAndTheFateOfAtlantis in #SCUMMVM in my sandboxed environment & user at the end of today's #twitch stream. Sound and all!
I _finally_ fixed my configuration to install my primary user's #sndio cookie for my sandbox user. Must be 'rw' for the user only, otherwise sndio will "fix" and gen a new cookie.
A _very_ late start to my #Twitch #retro #coworking #stream to #NectarineDemoSceneRadio #chiptunes, but here I am, ready to start some #pomodors:

This also marks the first full stream I'll be doing using my new sandboxed #X11 #Xephyr display & user environment. This is based on my own #Xsunaba tool.
I wasn't actually scheduled to do a #Twitch stream today, but ended up spending a couple hours live testing & troubleshooting my stream tooling. I _finally_ have a working #X11 #Xephyr display running as a separate user and captured by #fauxstream under #openbsd!
My reasons for this are to: a) present, capture, and encode a full display at 720p25 to improve performance and b) sandbox the content I'm showing on stream from the rest of my apps. b) was a given and happy to report a) was achieved.
Just learned about #Xephyr for running a second x session inside the first one. Very cool. Can't believe I hadn't heard about it before now. Years and years ago, I used to routinely run a second session on vt8. Good for testing out different window managers or desktop environments or running things as a different user.
Using Xephyr to troubleshoot #stumpwm - it starts and exits / crashes immediately. Testing a few things, so not giving up hope yet.

Poll is over, thanks everyone for participating! I think the group using very different screens in a #X11 multi-screen setup with #XRandR is significant enough, so I should look into that for #Xmoji. From what I learned here (thanks for replying and correcting my misconception about what a "screen" object is in such a setup!), I'll probably have to dive into the RandR extension protocol first and try to simulate a setup with #Xephyr... will probably take a while 🙈.
I guess I'll release Xmoji 0.9 first (which brings some simple dpi-awareness).
オンライン勉強会などで画面?
?有する場合 Xephyr でメインと別の X server を起動してその画面を?
?有したりしています．
?
?れ子になった X の中でフルスクリーンにしたり，アプリケーションを切り替えたりしています．
しかし，小江戸らぐやオープンソースカンファレンスなどで利用しているビデオミーティングアプリの Zoom では画面?
?有時に Xephyr が出てきません．Chromium や Firefox や Electron アプリでは一覧に出てきて Xephyr の画面?
?有もうまく行きます．
仕方がないので Zoom での画面?
?有時は「画面の一部分」を使っています．
今回画面の指定領域を仮想ディスプレイとして利用できる clipscreen でかんたんに画面?
?有ができないか試してみました．
