For your Claude user running container, Rootless Podman is very easy to setup, it's all I use on Debian 13:

https://github.com/podman-container-tools/podman/blob/main/d...

Depending on what container you are running, sometimes you need to fiddle with passing volumes/devices/permissions/groups/capabilities to the container.

If you are just running normal userspace programs then it's pretty seamless.

Podman should support all the same arguments as Docker, and you can install `podman-docker` on Debian which creates an alias:

Yes, this is already a widely circulated unproven LLM conspiracy theory.

An organisation which lets a person release a website without understanding how the web works is just asking for trouble. This was true before Transformer LLMs and is true after them.

LLMs probably just let those organisations make a larger and more load-bearing website faster, so that poor decisions speed the time to catastrophe.

suprjami — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 23:14:23 +0000

I'm not anti-AI, I'm anti bullshit.

Yes these things can be a useful tool when used properly in a targeted way.

No they're not going to "replace all workers" or "achieve sentience" like these shithead tech CEOs promise investors.

The architecture which made me fall in love with RISC (or "load-store" if you prefer) and see the error of my ways with x86 (insert your derogatory term here).

When doing this, I particularly like that the LLM sometimes gets things wrong.

It forces me to really understand each thing deeply so that I evaluate it properly.

It is like taking an exam where the exam writer is hostile and sneaks in trick questions. You only spot that the question is wrong when you fully reason through the answer.

That is a good one! The book is already listed. As far as I know there is no video?

I have a list of similar content here:

Haven't updated it in a long time but hope you find something nice.

New comment by suprjami in "What You Will Lose When You Retire – By Dan Haylett"

suprjami — Wed, 20 May 2026 21:05:03 +0000

What a depressing article.

Don't retire and sit staring at the ceiling.

Get hobbies. Make friends. Volunteer. Do those projects you never finished (or started!) because you were too busy working.

Develop an identity beyond your internalised capitalism. You are more valuable than your 9-5 seat warming.

Yes, these things will slow down. That's the point of retirement. Just don't let them stop.

Reminder that Google, who literally invented the transformer, say that's never happening:

I'm more inclined to believe that over someone who failed to understand that Windows Notepad didn't need AI.

UB = run nethack or Emacs:

We should have kept this behaviour. It would make UB a lot more unpalatable and easy to find.

I am always surprised Debian are leading this and not the commercial vendors. You'd think big organisations paying for RHEL and Ubuntu would be beating down the door for verifiable binaries.

suprjami — Sat, 09 May 2026 13:53:25 +0000

They probably just generate "the UUID" then add an increasing number on the end so it's unique. Problem solved.

New comment by suprjami in "Show HN: Tilde.run – Agent sandbox with a transactional, versioned filesystem"

suprjami — Fri, 08 May 2026 23:25:02 +0000

Users might not care but the people building such things (us) do care and must care so that we can provide a product for those users which does what it says.

If you don't care that's fine. You go run the Claude Code "sandbox" and let it put your entire home directory on a public pastebin. Anthropic guarantee it will exfiltrate your data in the most secure way possible.

The rest of us want verifiable sandboxes which we can fix if they are wrong.

What are you saying here? An LLM helped humans do something right once therefore it's perfect to use in every other situation too?
