New comment by noperator in "Let's discuss sandbox isolation"

> compute isolation means nothing if the sandbox can freely phone home.

Here's a project I've been working on to address the network risk. Uses nftables firewall allowing outbound traffic only to an explicit pinned domain allowlist (continuously refreshes DNS resolutions in the background).

New comment by noperator in "Computing, Convivially"

Digital technologies can be terribly destructive, but they can also be gloriously empowering. How do we shape them into tools for conviviality rather than means of domination?

My prototype one-liners usually turn into Go programs :)

Hey, author here. see also, sol: a de-minifier (formatter, exploder, beautifier) for shell one-liners

I actually wrote jqfmt because I needed it for sol :)

kind of meta, but one of my most-used commands is sol: a de-minifier (formatter, exploder, beautifier) for shell one-liners

New comment by noperator in "I used o3 to profile myself from my saved Pocket links"

Awesome! I found this section interesting: https://blog.kelvin.ma/posts/an-ode-to-pocket-analysis-of-ex...

I don't think of HN as a source itself but rather a way to discover sources. So I think my Pocket data reflects sources that I've discovered, but to your point, doesn't represent everything I've read from those sources.

Moved to Wallabag, but note that I don't read anything via Wallabag (or Pocket) UI. I export saved items as an RSS feed which I consume in an RSS reader like Inoreader or FreshRSS.

New comment by noperator in "Remotely Wipe a Server (2011)"

noperator — Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:32:30 +0000

> This is a relatively simple request when the server is under your desk: boot a rescue disk, use a tool like shred to wipe the data on all the hard drives, then press the power button. When the server is in a remote data center, it's a little more challenging: use a remote console to reboot into a rescue disk, wipe the server, then remotely pull the power using some networked PDU. When, like me, you have to wipe a server thousands of miles away with no remote console, no remote power, no remote help and only an SSH connection, you start scratching your head.

o3 spent that time "thinking" and built the profile using only the URLs/titles, no content fetching.

Thanks all for your feedback. Adjusted the title to clearly reflect that I'm the agent here.

Recalling Simon Willison’s recent geoguessing challenge for o3, I considered, “What might o3 be able to tell me about myself, simply based on a list of URLs I’ve chosen to save?”
