It's actually astonishing that it took mozilla folks the guts of 20 years to get around to this glaring UX gap.

Which bugzilla # is it. I can only find decades old requests for such a feature that are closed as WONTFIX.

When the hell will firefox have a decent profile manager?? It's the one thing that is preventing me from switching over. No, container tabs are NOT it.

The fact that GitHub don't provide a better solution here has to be actually costing them money with the network usage and extra agent time consumed. Right?

Plenty of marketplace actions will install things and/or mutate the runner. It's a matter of time before someone does something or there's a build that doesn't cleannup after itself (e.g. leaving test processes running)

I won't disagree. It should be easier imo. I guess this is why a cottage industry has sprung up addressing such e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39930908

Lua vs C# - chose your poison. There's a ton of AspNet Core libraries for handling http things e.g. JWT handling. Things that might need the licensed version of nginx. Also it's embeddable and self-hostable into any .NET / As

We know there is an ongoing issue with MS's relationship with .NET OSS ecosystem, but in this case I am totally fine with this. I proved the need of a code-first, highly extensible/customisable reverse-proxy (vs other approaches w
