Same. And now, my AI agent uses Vagrant to validate it's ansible yaml before it creates pull requests. It even does `vagrant up` inside a running vagrant when making changes to Vagrantfiles.

I applaud your dreams and hopes. I don't share them though, and predict this type of device will destroy countless meaningfull parent-child-teacher relationship.

Please don't. Don't deprive children of the interaction with other human beings. 5 year olds don't need tutors. They need play, touch, sense, feel, run, breath, sky, earth.

When using letsencrypt for internal services it becomes very hard to distinguish badplayer.com LE certificate from the good players. You only ensure encryption. Not identity. Do not use letsencrypt internally for things that matter.

Assume you are correct, and the Dutch offer a terrible proposition. Yet still they come.

Imagine this was the NFL quarterfinals or so and Trump would get the NFL to revert a foul on his favorite team. No matter the foul: what happens in the game is the game.

The fact that this got overturned should worry everyone that loves sports.

What benefit does running it locally have over parents solution of running it in a container in a VM?

I do the same: my agents run in a hardened VM on a hardened Linux machines in a separated network in my basement. The magic of ssh makes this setup transparent for me on my desktop. But extremely hard for my agent to do nasty things.
