Yes, they do. Put them into your stable server distribution AFTER they are complete.

I just demo'd my own home. Kinda felt nice. Always wanted to rebuild it.

Heavily audited might be a stretch. Who did the audit and what knew to look for is key. I wonder if they are using agentic tools to help improve the frequency and quality of their audits. Volunteer time is precious and getting robots to help might be useful, but I can also see it taking more of that same volunteer time to get good results from the robots. Either way, its their project and and they'll do as they deem fit, which is totally fine.

Was wondering the same. So I guess a box is a linux host? So this is ssh + tmux or zmx or screen?

No way. Hotels are already too expensive as are restaurants. I like to stay in a place and I don't want the cost increased just because the local gov't won't build housing. That is a different problem and I guarantee that tax won't fix anything.

This is purely party prevention. I've had ZERO pushback asking to host a group of friends over for dinner. I ask the owner. Mild inconvenience IMO when you think about the problem they are trying to prevent, the home being thrashed by a large party and the guests having no care about your home.

I want to use sbx more, but I got turned off by having to authenticate so much. Just fired up a session yesterday and I had to re-auth. Nope. Nuked it and setup nono. Sorry docker, this was a huge miss.

How does this affect fish that eat mosquitos like trout? Do they have enough food without mosquitos? Just wondering.
