If you use Linux, this is a good reminder to spend a bit of time learning AppArmor / SELinux. rustc / cargo and processes spawned by them shouldn't have access to your entire $HOME.

Or bubblewrap. Though that requires more effort than "a bit of time" to do comprehensive isilation..

Sadly, the developers of these apps can't even be bothered to not dump random folders into $HOME. 🤷
