Schrödinger's PratI have seen some tomfuckery in my time, but this one is absolutely baffling.
Stuart Celarier ❌👑@Rhodium103 I'll admit that looks weird, however the reason for running the Python in the cloud is so that a Python payload can't maliciously access resources on your computer, install malware, or otherwise pose a security risk to your assets. Like most security issues, it is a trade-off.
Gaelan Steele@VisualStuart @Rhodium103 I mean, surely they could just sandbox python properly? presumably they have to do that on the server end anyway
@Gaelan @Rhodium103 Just guessing here, I assume isolation on the server/cloud side is implemented using Kubernetes containers with images that have the absolute minimum required to run Python (reduced attack surface.) It doesn't seem reasonable to require end-user systems to have a Kubernetes host, download the container image, and manage the container instances to start quickly with a warm-start strategy for responsiveness.
I can try to connect you with the team if you have a better plan.
