So far it is full access to everything for the agent, but since the actual socks implementation is a simple go program there's nothing stopping us from adding a dsl or guardrails that the proxies can understand.

I was building a hardware monitoring and metrics tool and realized that I have no way to test if I get the right information out from nvidia gpus via nvml metrics without using deployed gpus, so I made a mock gpu driver that allows you to present a gpu in a desired state as a real gpu to a linux system. It creates and overloads the libnvidia.so* files and simply construct a scenario from json that is hot-swappable when it is running.
It is a useful tool and easy to use if you're building monitoring or telemetry for nvidia gpus.

Since blacksmith labs and phoenix ai - the ai assisted automotive r&d, security and compliance engineering tool has been on the backburner for a while, I've been helping a couple of blockchain projects and built some tools, besides tinkering with my real-time EVM contract and transaction heuristics and classification engine.
- ETH Watchtower: a real-time EVM monitoring tool with heuristics and classification of contracts and transactions: https://ethwatchtower.xyz
- P2P SSL VPN provider/consumer tools using a blockchain as announcement and settlement layer: https://github.com/rnts08/blockchain-vpn
- OrdexNetwork: https://ordexnetwork.org, I've built https://ordexswap.online and https://ordexswap.online/wallet/ as well as an Umbrel variant of a self-hosted wallet.
- Waya Wolf Coin v3: Helped the team to compile binaries for linux, and modernizing the libraries: https://github.com/rnts08/WWC3-Linux-binaries / https://github.com/Waya-Wolf/WWC3
- Low Cap Exchange algorithmic trading bots with machine learning and automatic ghost trading, because I wanted to see what the most common shapes are on smaller exchanges: https://github.com/rnts08/low-cap-exchange-trading-bot
However, I am really looking for Sr. DevOps/Platform Eng/SRE/System/Network Admin/Infra Engineering or similar, full-time or contract work, see https://timhbergstrom.pro for contact details.

That was one of my first thought as well, but I was thinking that he did it for readability in the post not for real...

Happy new year, 2025 was another bummer but here's to 2026.

I've built ETH watchtower, a real-time heuristics scanning tool checking contracts, addresses and transactions. The published version is a PoC and cut down since the full version is way too expensive for me to run together with the frontend for public use. If anyone is interested in building with me, hosting full low latency ethereum nodes or help out with the project feel free to reach out.

What is he supposed to do? I'm absolutely sure he's still looking, trying his best to find a job or a permanent solution to his situation. But there's no reason to complain and whine about things he can't change.
Life is shit sometimes, when he is out, he'll be out. Or he'll find some way of generating income, and then he gets another chance.
I've been in similar situations myself, and there is absolutely no reason to get stuck up regardless how stressful and painful it is, you can only do your best and that's it.

The worst thing about the whole kubernetes-cult and the like is that IaC and CM was supposed to help us reduce configuration, to make it less prone to failure and easier to manage.
But the truth is that we ran service based architecture, network meshes and containers with bash just fine before cloud everything, usually with less effort than it is to do literally anything today. Sure you had to know how to set up network bonding and how to tune your systems.
Very, very few people and businesses _needs_ kubernetes or it's cousins. Most just need a decent system administrator.

Congratulations, OP learned about "we expect loyalty and effort from you, but you won't get any from us", which is 99.5% of all companies out there. I hope OP does well on their own and don't have to work in this kind of disingenuous places in the future.
