I'm using this as my main way to run Claude & others, it's just a shell wrapper but it provides a lot of niceties and a pretty good developer experience in a single command line. Curious to have feedbacks on it!

Love Oxide and what they're building, but I'm not sure raising even more VC money is the way to build a generational company. Quite the opposite? With money you don't need, you're trading faster growth for more dependencies on third parties that will seek a ROI eventually?

This is the way to go! On my side I've build a very small `claude-vm` wrapper to run each instance in a VM with Lima: https://github.com/sylvinus/agent-vm

Exactly, we do have private forges we build and deploy from.

Show HN: A single command to run Claude Code inside Lima VMs

sylvinus — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 18:18:54 +0000

I am very afraid to run claude (or even npm) on my host system. It is a security incident waiting to happen.

To fix that but still keep the friendly developer experience of just typing a single command in the folder I want to work on, I wrote a simple script that allows one to run "claude-vm" anywhere, with the local folder mounted but a fully isolated VM.

As bonuses, I added Chrome MCP, Docker, and an easy way to customize the base VM or its folder-specific runtime copy.

It's not much, but it's been pretty valuable to me so I may as well share it! Feedbacks welcome.

Facts (and code) are following. We're building a fully open source workspace (https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/en) among other ambitious initiatives (https://beta.gouv.fr/).

The turmoil caused by the two contracts you mention also prove that the new normal has already shifted towards open source. It's a slow process, but it's undeniable that we are making progress.

AFAIK, there are lots of contributions from developers in the French government to the Grist open source repository. We also deploy it, we have instances running in various government agencies.

For Docs, we bootstrapped the repository ourselves on top of Django, Next.js, BlockNote.js, Y.js and many others. We welcome contributions!

Well I think that most of our users have never typed a "[" character... So for them, Markdown is definitely complex :)

Indeed, Docs is already available both in English and German :)

AFAIK we took a lot of inspiration from Gov.uk and 18F/USDS (RIP), at least for digital services. You can look at https://beta.gouv.fr/

Hey. A few developers from the team are on HN and will be happy to answer any questions here!

We also made a small scratchpad you can use to test collaboration features, if it doesn't get too flooded :) https://docs.numerique.gouv.fr/docs/a3f0becc-f2b7-45be-a5e5-...

Not really a database, but I've made a prototype integration of Docs with IronCalc: https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs/pull/466

This could also take the form of a custom block that you could embed in a text document.

Our primary target is indeed larger organizations but we're working on one-click deployment solutions and an all-in-one container.

The Ulanzi TC001 is a great, cheap piece of hardware. I found a second-hand one for $20 and flashed it via USB with https://github.com/lubeda/EspHoMaTriXv2, a more practical firmware if you already have a bunch of ESPHome devices at home.

I don't know him but most of his GitHub activity seems to be contributing to the ClickHouse ecosystem, including popular projects like this one: https://github.com/Altinity/clickhouse-operator

My point is just that he doesn't appear to be someone complaining and not contributing.

AFAIK, the author is indeed trying to contribute back, that is the whole point: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/54644

There's a kind of survivorship bias here! I'm sure that if Altinity (or others) weren't forced to do RFCs on GitHub like the one mentioned in this article that get low/no attention from the core team, they would be in the top committers :)
