I'm working on a multi signature solution that helps to detect unauthorized releases in the case of an account hijack. It is open source, self hostable, accountless and I am looking for feedback!

The agents run in a container and have an other git identity configured. It happens that agents commit code and I don't want to push it accidentally from outside the container, which is where I work.

In my project's readme I put this text:

   "There is no commit by an agent user, for two reasons:

    * If an agent commits locally during development, the code is reviewed and often thoroughly modified and rearranged by a human.
    * I don't want to push unreviewed code to the repo, so I have set up a git hook refusing to push commits done by an LLM agent."

It's not that I want to hide the use of llms, I just modified code a lot before pushing, which led me to this approach. As llms improve, I might have to change this though.

Interested to read opinions on this approach.

I'm working on a multi signature system for file authentication that can detect unauthorized file publications. It is self-funded, open source, auditable, self hostable, accountless. I'm looking for testers and feedback, don't hesitate to contact me if interested. More info at https://asfaload.com/

I've installed https://getaurora.dev/en/, another atomic Linux distro, for a non technical user and find it really good. I've read arguments that its architecture was better than kalpa, but I don't find it back and I have no sufficient knowledge or experience of both to have an opinion.

I'm working on a multisig sign-off solution, with the first use case being file downloads like GitHub releases authentication: https://github.com/asfaload/asfaload

I'm coming from F# and find rust a good compromise: great type safety (though I prefer the F# language) with an even better ecosystem. It can also generate decently sized statically compiled executables, useful for CLI tools, and the library code I wrote should be available to mobile apps (to be developed).

It was the gigaset gs190. I've used it quite some time with e/os, but one day the automatic updates stopped working and I discovered this reinstallation requirement.

raphinou — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 11:13:11 +0000

I have been using e/OS but moved away when an upgrade to the next version required to manually wipe the device. I could cope with the little inconveniences of a degoogled phone, but wiping the device myself following a unclear procedure was too much for me. My phone is not a hacking subject. It's a tool. Still, it worked reasonably well and I would have upgraded and kept using it if the upgrade had been easier.

Looks interesting. I'm currently using https://tuicr.dev/ , of which I like that the first screen it shows is the choice of commit range you want to review. Might be something to consider for deff?

Am I a fool to think that upcycled devices might not dent the sales of new devices, but would be used in new ways that would actually be positive for the vendor?

You're right of course. I hadn't thought of the negatives when this self-restraint is absent.

I only sent one letter to one team because I was a fan. The restraining factor was being a fan. Remove that, and it can indeed rapidly go out of hands....

When I was young I wrote to the Formula 1 team McLaren to ask if they could hire me for a student job. I didn't expect to get a reply, but I got one. The answer was negative, but I was happy. I never reflected about it until now, but maybe it learned me that asking doesn't cost anything, and that the worst thing that can happen is getting a negative answer? Not sure that was the turning point, but this is indeed my approach! :-)

I've been happily using a container to run my agents [1]. I tried to make it evolve with more advanced features, but it quickly became harder to use and I went back to a basic container which I just start with a run.sh script. Is a similar simple use possible with matchlock?

I'm impressed with the speed of development. I didn't take a look at the quality of the code though. I'm using glm a Kimi k2.5, and I have a lot of corrections to apply to the code. Is Claude that better? Or is my process bad? OP: what's your development process?

I looked at your profile but didn't seen any contact info, hence this comment. I'm working on a fully open source multisig solution for artifact authentication. I would be interested to have your opinion and if you see opportunities for such a project in companies as the one you work for now to make the project financially sustainable. Can you contact me? (Email in my profile)

Edit: the project if anyone reading this is interested: http://github.com/asfaload/asfaload (looking for feedback!)
