monstar [0] from rockorager is an fast Wayland that leverages libghostty. It is easy to build from source. I can't build shitty from source on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Tons of issues with Ragel versions and flags and linker issues. All dependencies are installed.

This is Claude Code specific but there are similar capabilities for Codex.

"These OS-level restrictions ensure that all child processes spawned by Claude Code’s commands inherit the same security boundaries." [0]

There is a rich deny and allow system for file access that can be used in conjunction with the sandbox [1]

There is a lot of chatter on Twitter and here about sandboxes for AI, however there appears to be a lack of awareness of the native built in sandboxing capabilities of Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI. Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI all use seatbelt on MacOS. Claude Code uses bubblewrap on Linux. Codex uses seccomp + landlock on Linux. Codex has experimental native sandboxing on Windows with AppContainer.

I moved to Zen but have subsequently moved to Glide [0] which I find to have less UI fluff and the keyboard shortcuts and scriptability are excellent.

The CEO of Sourcegraph Quinn was pretty negative on coding agents and agentic development only about 10 months ago [0]. He had 'agentic stuff' in the Deader category (Used rarely, Reviewing it aint worth it). In fairness, he did say it was the future but 'is not there yet'. Since then, Sourcregraph's code assistant plugin Cody has been deprecated an they are all in on agents and agentic with Amp.

Re:Ask HN: Is uBlock Origin removed from Chrome extension? on Thursday November 21, 2024 @11:58PM (#42211326)
A nasty and likely intentional side effect of using these workarounds is that your browser becomes "managed" and it blocks the ability to configure DNS for example. Deal breaker for me
