True, but AFAIK an audit system is worthless if it resides on the same potentially compromised machine, no?
Genuine question: what's your thread model?

Vault gives time limited Tokens with Network Boundary. Instead of Keeper, i would just use age:

# write

echo "my secret" | age -r <recipient-pubkey> > secret.age

# read

age -d -i key.txt secret.age

Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (February 2026) on Monday February 09, 2026 @03:48AM (#46943103)
Out of curiosity, i am building a WebAssembly VM where every control flow instruction (branches, calls, loops, returns) advances a rolling AES chain state.

Branch targets are encrypted — decryption only works if the chain state is correct, which requires every prior control flow decision to have been correct, all the way back to the run key.

I'm using single round AES instructions which require AES-NI Wrong key, modified binary, or even a debugger breakpoint causes execution to instantly collapse into garbage. Its written in Rust and currently passes 261/276 Wasm spec tests (remaining 15 are cross-module imports).

Currently supports SIMD, atomics, exception handling, memory64, tail calls, and WASI with sandboxed file I/O and TCP sockets.

Im tinkering around with porting it to a sel4 backend in adition to the posix backend.

OpenBSD also runs perfectly fine on Hetzner Cloud VMs.

Yes, please! I would be interested. Currently i'm fiddling around with vault as an ICA, so this sounds like a good next step

I run my beloved HS8 since ~8 or so Years and would buy them again. The only downside is the rear Air outlet, which forces some distance to Walls.

Can you elaborate, why you chose Ubuntu?

Alpine with lbu[0] seems like a perfect fit and looks IMHO less experimental. Also you can provide backups straight via iPXE[1].

Nonetheless, kudos for the slim ubuntu image :)

I‘d love to have Haxials KDX back. Spend endless nights lurking trough

Interesting view. How should i, as a sysadmin who just writes bash and powershell scripts, start to learn _serious_ programming? Is it still worth to force myself into OOP?
