I'm always a bit suspicious of pledges allowing both filesystem read/write
and internet access. Unless they're further ratcheted down after some
initialisation, are they really going to give much protection?

actually protects me from and weigh it against the potential for untested
codepaths, my initial feeling is that removing the pledge would be saner.
