I've been running my agents in a docker sandbox that automatically mounts the current directory. It's been a bit of a pain to figure out and maintain the set of tools I provision into the sandbox- but it's fun to watch codex go to the ends of the earth trying to figure out solutions using nodejs (the only runtime).

I don't know zig well. What's raising flags for you?

I had issues too that they sent a tech support out for while warning me "If they find it's your fault, you will be assessed a charge". The tech came out, climbed my local pole and then went down the street and climbed another one. He said it was a busted port and he moved me to a new one, and put in a service request to upgrade as it was out of ports.

CenturyLink sends me a bill for maintenance. After tons of back and forth I got to the point where I said "So can you state for the record since I'm recording this phone call, that I the customer should have climbed the telephone pole to remedy the issue".

After that he finally decides to get in touch with the fiber contractor they use who emphasized it was no fault of my own and they cleared the charge.

Yup, went to Haiti and had my antibodies tested for Tdap and MMR before going. One of them I had to get titers for...I think Tdap?

Disingenuous take.

Here's the original study: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09655-y.

There's a marked contrast between vaccinated and unvaccinated survival rates, and they pretty extensively tested and ruled out additional mechanisms they thought may be influencing their observations.

Aim small, miss small?

It is, which I'd argue has a time and a place. Maybe it's more specific to how I cut my teeth in the industry but as programmer whenever I had to ask a question of e.g the ops team, I'd make sure it was clear I'd made an effort to figure out my problem. Here's how I understand the issue, here's what I tried yadda yadda.

Now I'm the 40-year-old ops guy fielding those questions. I'll write up an LLM question emphasizing what they should be focused on, I'll verify the response is in sync with my thoughts, and shoot it to them.

It seems less passive aggressive than LMGTFY and sometimes I learn something from the response.

I was diagnosed with stage III NSCLC February '21. Radiation, chemo, and a bilobectomy. I had the ALK+ morphology which meant I wasn't a candidate for immunotherapy but I've been on alectinib since my surgery in June '21 with no signs of recurrence so far.

The process is grueling in hindsight, but I'm glad to hear you're getting results. At first I would have said "if this is going to kill me, make it sooner rather than later" to avoid a drawn-out painful experience, but I'm starting to appreciate what the buying time really means. It's hard with all that's going on but get your head straight and make sure you enjoy it.

Keep on keeping on.

Which container extension are you using for domain grouping? I've been looking for a good one

Thanks for the response, that clears things up quite a bit. Would you create jump-boxes per environment or do you generally just have 1 with all the different service/env access logic?

Could someone do me a solid and explain best security practices around bastion hosts and vpn?

e.g. - would you still require users connected to the vpn to go through a bastion host? - would you ever run bastion/vpn through the same box? - are there preferred access use cases for each?

If you'd read through to section 3.1 you'll see that they detail the iOS and Android bootstrap mechanisms. The title doesn't specifically identify which OS was infiltrated though in this case it was iOS.

I'm guessing the reason why iOS exploits receive more face-time is: 1. Apple has advertised their phones as being at the forefront of security, which holds some merit. 2. iPhones have become commonplace among government employess (possibly as a result of point 1). Political exploits are inevitably more in the public eye if it's the tool of most politicians.

It's the same concept as the early days of Microsoft being the powerhouse of consumer operating systems- everyone was using it making it the most lucrative to exploit.
