i'm so numb to these headlines nowadays... i guess i've been disappointed by how effective these approaches end up being for actual work but i feel like it's easy to produce these headlines with "proof" that doesnt prove anything besides the sandboxed scenario it was run in

Any open source proxies you guys can recommend that I can set up to achieve sth similar for my own services?

I've built sth similar that acts as a mobile interface to your desktop setup via the multiplexer of your choice (herdr/tmux/zellij). https://github.com/AltanS/collie

There's also a typescript SDK to connect a durable agent/harness to the app, still experimental though.

Ask HN: How do you check desktop apps for malicious code?

asar — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 08:58:33 +0000

Just wondering how people are dealing with security checks on the flurry of vibe coded apps that are coming out these days.

I've been a linux user for a long time and really enjoy the wave of new rust apps based on GPUI or similar tech to bring more polished and performant desktop apps. But with AI driven attacks becoming more advanced I'm getting more and more suspicous of projects with only one contributor, despite them being public. I know that it doesnt mean a project with many contributors is automatically safe and supply chain attacks can occur for different reasons too. But I'm just imagining someone exfiltrating files or secrets from my local machine and sending them off somewhere. This probably wouldve been easy to spot with some pattern matching in the past but nowadays an AI could split up the logic across 1000s of files and make it really hard to see??

Are there any services or tools you can recommend to perform these checks?

if you're using herdr/tmux/zellij you could give https://colliepwa.dev a try, its a mobile interface i built to interact with agents on the go.

thanks! it now clicked for me. so instead of cat its read_file, even if read_file resolves to cat, cat is not always available.

cool solution to a problem that shouldnt even exist I'd say. how did it become ok to be recorded at all times without prior consent??

This to me looks like it belongs into the harness, not the interface.

Show HN: ColliePWA, a self-hosted mobile terminal for coding agents, with alerts

asar — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 13:04:12 +0000

Sharing the PWA[1] I built over the last couple of weeks to access my terminal sessions/agents when not in front of my computer. This started off as a weekend experiment right when herdr[2] (terminal multiplexer) released the functionality to write custom plugins and it's been quite helpful to me ever since. The general idea is that this runs a web app on the host machine which is then exposed through a front door implementation like tailscale/netbird/cloudflare tunnels etc.

A lot of devs/teams are building sth very similar to this right now so there are many options out there already but I wanted: A PWA (no app store dep), better keyboard support than termux, the ability to manage multiple machines and easy integration with my existing tailnet via headscale.

Some of the other features - Push notifications - Support for tmux and zellij (experimental) - Voice transcriptions (Codex sub or API) - Custom commands for cc/codex/pi etc (add your own) - Visual cues for when token cache goes stale

You can check out a live demo with dummy data on the website[1] or look at the implementation on Github[3] (PRs welcome).

Looking forward to receiving some feedback or learning more about how people access/work with their agents on the go. Also if you encounter any bugs please report them on Github, if a feature is missing you'd really want to see, open a discussion.

Working on a mobile interface for terminal multiplexers like tmux/zellij/herdr. This focuses a lot on my need to manage agents on the go, it's been quite helpful to myself so far.

On Twitter they mentioned that it was unfortunate timing as the 3.7 flash release collided with ox alpha.

I only saw this now, thanks for writing this up. Will take a look and address these in one of the upcoming releases.

New comment by asar in "Anthropic becomes the 'Apple of AI': Most revenue despite being most expensive"

asar — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:22:08 +0000

I think the reason is that after all the benchmark comparisons, anthropic models still perform much more reliably and better in day to day use. Every day now there is a new supposedly fable level model that then somehow completely vanishes in a couple of days. While fable is still the best model and if only it were cheaper less people would be hating I suppose.

This really reminds of the spec comparison obsession android users had in the 2010s. Every 6months an 'iPhone killer' was released, but they were only ever superior in total isolation.

if you're using herdr, i built a plugin exactly for this reason. its a pwa so requires a proper frontdoor for secured access (tailscale, netbird etc.).

I've been working on collie[1] a plugin for herdr that runs a web app on the herdr host which can then be served via tailscale for example. This has made accessing my agents on the go a lot easier, paired with session persistence from herdr it's been quite nice to work with.

New comment by asar in "Publishers consider opting out of Google as search traffic declines"

asar — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 12:58:05 +0000

They should opt out of Google. What they are doing here in open daylight is insane. They stole the entire internet to train their models and are now shoving AI overviews down everyones throat. Clicks to publishers were already decreasing over the last years even without AI, but 2026 is showing what the future will look like, zero clicks from Google, because they dont care. Google got what it wanted and is now racing to AGI spending all its cash on datacenters, not caring about all the casualties along the way. Google, on its current trajectory, is truly evil in my opinion.

I'm really not a fan of regulation, but someone has to step in and have Google seperate its products, search should be free of AI overviews imo.
