The result is that it's an 8 MB applic…

I’d love to one day contribute to open-source distros and have a homelab at some point. Should I jump in with courses that teach building Agents (for possible career advancement), or simply begin with python, html, css, javascript, etc?

Using a VM to Contain an AI Agenthttps://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2026/09/using-a-vm-to-contain-an-ai-agent.html

It won’t work : My suspicion was that GPT 5.6-Cyber would succeed, but the frequency and manner of its success removed all doubt. We have to reassess sandboxing quality for capable AI agents, and in general the software stack with which they interact. An off-the-shelf VM is not enough to contain a modern, cyber-capable AI agent. There is simply too much attack surface. Even innocuous features (like running with a display) add extra, exploitable attack surface.

Wrapped in the cutesy, nostalgic aesthetic of early-90s pixel art, these little fascist diversions are harmless-looking, but their intent is stomach-turning: this is the appropriation of play in service of propaganda.

Gage is an open source (Apache 2) CLI + TUI that scans Claude Code session transcripts and files issues with evidence. Yesterday it found a bug that I had approved. In the original session Claude flagged the risk. I didn't read carefully, said "go ahead", and it broke a feature. Nothing in the commit shows this. It's obvious in the session. Sessions contain the code and the reasoning behind it. That makes them a better source for review than the diff alone. Every issue must cite lines in the session record, so any claim traces to its source. You can review, fix, or close issues as skipped. Ga…
