[Coco] Oh the joys of living in Silicon Valley

[J Arcane]

One of the many reasons I hate dealing with web dev.

I have an online REPL I maintain for Racket, and about once a month I have
to reset it, because some idiot script kiddie has managed to crash the
thing trying to feed it garbage inputs to escape out. It never gets through
of course (the REPL inputs are completely sandboxed and garbage collected,
so all they accomplish is an out-of-memory crash), and there's no critical
or permanent data anywhere on the machine, so they'd not get anything even
if it did work.
