For everyone writing #rustlang, make your Clippy config stricter! I ran into a bug that the compiler didn't catch but a Clippy lint would have, and then went through the lints to figure out which to enable that would catch these types of errors in the future. emschwartz.me/your-clippy-...

If you're looking for something with a bit more power than the other seatbelt sandbox wrappers, clash.rs gives you the ability to make per-program level rules. So you can allow git to access your ssh keys, but not python. Would love your feedback if you have any.

If you wanted to defend against the litellm attack getting your private ssh keys, you'd need to make git unusable. With clash, you can specifically allow git to have read access to ~/.ssh but not python

For a great example of why we are building clash.rs and why the power of being able to apply specific sandboxes to specific binaries is important.

I think bluesky would be roughly 300% better if people here were capable of reading “this is an assessment of the empirical reality of a situation” without assuming it comes with an implicit “and therefore I endorse the reality of that situation”

Hilariously the one button that appears to be connected is the voice control button on the steering wheel. But it seems like you can’t do menu navigation with that so we are probably just stuck in silence for the 6 hour drive

I don’t mean the UI is glitching, the buttons and touch input literally don’t appear to be connected to anything. Hard / soft reset methods do nothing because they use buttons that aren’t connected.

TL;DR we are building an agent agnostic safety harness to take back some agency of what we let run on our machines. 1. Support the best safety features provided by any of the agent harnesses on ALL the agent harness 2. Prevent against vendor lock-in by making portable + composable tools

ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players ssh snakes.run to join!

this is pretty neat: someone pulled every violation, complaint, permit, court case, tax lien, and inspection record from NYC open data for every building in the city and turned it into a searchable database openstoop.com

Screenshot of a post from Cory Booker thanking people for “standing up and leading with love,” above a video still showing a large rainbow Pride flag flying next to an American flag outside the Stonewall Inn in New York City. On-screen text reads: “New Yorkers re-raise the Pride flag at Stonewall in direct defiance of Trump’s order.”

Second amendment advocate Stephen Gutowski reposted by conservative Christian radio guy Erick Erickson.
Gutowski tweets: “It's still early in the aftermath, and more video or audio might come to light that changes the analysis. The videos we do have look very bad, though, and appear to contradict DHS claims. Minneapolis police have also already said the man who was shot had a ccw permit.”
