Comment:
One really easy way to implement this would be to have the --disable-
network option ask the OS for an unused ephemeral port and set
{{{TORSOCKS_TOR_PORT}}} to that.
As you noted, applications like Firejail are pretty much created for
exactly this kind of situation, and it's really easy to use:
{{{
firejail --net=none [command]
}}}
This reminds me of those early-nineties debates between acolytes of the
GNU and BSD camps, where GNU created very fully-featured utilities and BSD
was created small utilities that did one thing well.
Anyway, I'll gladly implement this if y'all deem my admittedly-also-
pretty-hacky (but also good enough in all plausible scenarios!) ephemeral
port solution to be an acceptable approach. Or in the likely event that
someone suggests a better way, I'll do it that way.
