Show HN: Vett – Scan, sign, and verify AI agent skills before installing

https://vett.sh

Hey HN. I built a security registry for AI agent skills.There are 64k skills on Vercel's skills.sh. Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and dozens more agents pull them from GitHub at HEAD — no versioning, signing, or scanning. The OpenClaw agents themselves flagged this: "The supply chain attack nobody is talking about: skill.md is an unsigned binary."[0]I took an official skill that packages other...

Re:Today is Ubuntu's 20th Anniversary on Sunday October 20, 2024 @10:41PM (#41900235)
I just Googled, Warty Warthog was released October 2004. I ordered a free CD of this to my house, as a teen, and installed it — wiping Windows — without a second thought. What followed, after feverishly owning up to breaking the machine (the DSL modem only worked with Windows), was truly the start of my future in technology, computers and software. Ubuntu has stayed constant with me as many, many things have changed over these two decades.

Long time Cron user here. Cron just uninstalled itself during an update and I had to find this announcement manually. Not a good look.

After downloading the new app, I now get this error:

> This app has reached its sign-in rate limit for now.

Did you not consider the migration path for existing users?

Re:Issues Connecting to Azure SQL Databases in East US on Saturday September 16, 2023 @01:49PM (#37536963)
This outage has been going on for 8 hours at this point, and we can’t actually fail over to a different region. I’m shocked at this from a company who has a product like SQL Server where you pay a premium for reliability.

I moved over to Render and cancelled Heroku. I didn't mind it before because it was reliable (if not expensive) but this Github fiasco made me move. Happy to get rid.

You don't hack a bank across state lines from your house, you'll get nailed by the FBI. Where are your brains, in your ass? Don't you know anything?
Use Plex

Rails isn't dead and can demand high salaries.

I've been happy with them so far, although I only have a few customers. The backend dashboard feels a little MVP but everything works well. The checkout flow is also hosted so you just embed that into your app which is nice.
Re:Stripe Tax on Thursday June 10, 2021 @03:27PM (#27464563)
Paddle is fundamentally different to Stripe. As you said they a merchant of record. Your customers purchase via Paddle, manage the subscription etc via them. Disputes would be via them too. Something to bear in mind.

If you use PayPal, you can just cancel the payment on their end.

Running an ASRock DeskMini with an i9 & 32GB RAM. VSCode remote works well with it. It barely uses 8GB of RAM.

Added 8TB of storage for a Plex server too.

Combined with Tailscale[0] you can access anywhere in the world, too.

I used Wazzapmigrator to do this a couple of years ago

Can't find the source, but the CRA will be bringing out their own free software too soon
>>The deposit thing looks insane to me too. My rental deposit is held in escrow by some third party; I've never heard of anyone not getting their deposit back when they move (unless they did something to deserve it e.g. trashing the place). The only issue around deposits is that you usually have to pay a deposit for the new place before you've received the deposit back for the old place, which can cause cashflow issues.

Anecdotal but myself (multiple moves) and most friends in London had to battle for a few hundred quid being attempted to stolen from the deposit before returning for various BS reasons. The dispute scheme was great as a tenant, but did mean months without the funds back.

It will starve the container of CPU, but might not 'sleep' it for a while. So wake time can actually be really quick if you have had traffic recently.

Was an early adopter of AKS (after using the equally awful ACS) and wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Remember being on engineering calls on a Friday evening with Microsoft engineers trying to explain the Kube master was completely broken. Volumes took 15 minutes to provision. Awful.

P.s. your first GKE cluster is free

I did the same, but Chrome -> Safari. My battery life is considerably better.

If you hold the option key whilst clicking the notifications icon on the far right of the menu, you enable Do Not Disturb. This generally does the same thing for meetings, screen sharing etc.
Re:Choose Boring Technology on Sunday December 06, 2020 @07:31AM (#25323094)
I picked up Rails this year after spending a long time dismissing it as a unscalable out of date framework.

It’s the fastest thing out there for shipping features. I’m building a SaaS tool, so that’s all that matters right now. I added PDF export yesterday in about 11 lines of code using Prawn.

It’s great building stuff in Go, but it’s no good sitting there in a year with 0 customers and a system that can handle 10k rps. Or stuck still building that idea and switching SPA framework or RPC library, as I often did to procrastinate launching. By not using the shiny new thing I can focus on the product.

Re:Introduction to Google Cloud Functions on Wednesday November 04, 2020 @02:22PM (#24992161)
This is not correct.

> Limits and requests for CPU resources are measured in cpu units. One cpu, in Kubernetes, is equivalent to 1 vCPU/Core for cloud providers and 1 hyperthread on bare-metal Intel processors.
