Another thing is that, when i used it, Mac command line tools did
not take care about exit status (as in "succeed though they should
not") or know about job signals.
But it is not only Mac, take iwd again, iwctl('s display handling)
definetely is buggy in respect to handling of SIGCONT after
a TSTP. (Ie the screen starts scrolling line-wise but no display
is ever refreshed.)
Regarding the thing, here this seems pretty much fine for RSS.

Yeah i use --no-remote because otherwise firefox will find its
other-box instances via X cookies (i do not have Wayland here).
I deem it a critical error that firefox then starts up even though
the ~/.mozilla/XXX profile is a totally different one, but on the
IRC we just ended like this.
Btw i use
setup_cgroup() {
#return
[ -e /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.procs ] || return
[ -d /sys/fs/cgroup/_box_web ] && return
(
umask 0022
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/_box_web || return
)
echo 1-3 > /sys/fs/cgroup/_box_web/cpuset.cpus
echo 1 > /sys/fs/cgroup/_box_web/cpu.weight
echo 300 > /sys/fs/cgroup/_box_web/pids.max
echo 1000000000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/_box_web/memory.high
}
on this box for box-web.sh, and i can read all my newspapers and
browse the web, even youtube.
If i open to many tabs, they start crashing. This mostly seems
due to the pids.max, however, i already increased this from 250.
What _i_ find interesting is that for the first time i really get
impressive scheduling feedback. This cpu.weight=1 can indeed
cause the browser to be delayed entirely for minutes, dependent on
the other tasks on the system. I mean really, totally, entirely.
I was impressed by reading the sched manual once i came back to
Linux two years ago, but seeing cpu.weight=1 in action _like
that_, really impressive.
Btw .. happy to be on the other side of the spectrum

It all fits a single Terminal.app (if not taking into account tmux
history), even if online. (Granted st does not have the history
patch, and firefox not running.)
