I love this author's past work and contributions, but this is 100% ai generated as per pangram https://www.pangram.com/history/9b3e03f0-6aa0-4516-90f9-507b..., which makes me wonder.
Re:BPF Token Delegation on Friday August 28, 2026 @10:28AM (#49479030)
Why Do I Want To Hand Roll a BPF Token Delegation?

Anywhere I searched for “BPF tokens”, I kept getting something like, “BPF tokens let unprivileged containers load eBPF" and I wanted to use it, but all Google searches either led me to kernel commit messages or nearly 100% AI generated blog posts.

When I read these blog posts, they didn’t make sense, and I couldn’t find examples of failures someone ran into, or an explanation of why doing it a certain way led to failure, which IMO is critical to understanding the internals.

So I asked myself, can I build the entire token delegation handshake myself in one file and either create a token that I can pass to a process, or learn exactly why I can’t?

Thank you for these references! I wasn't aware of these papers.
This post is AI generated, which loses the tool's authenticity.

Ask HN: Best way to use Vim with AI for tab completion only (no agentic coding)?

I want to keep using Vim as my primary editor, but add AI in a minimal, controlled way:Inline/tab completion : ghost text that I accept with Tab, nothing autonomous. No file editing, no PR creation, no "agent" doing things on my behalf.A way to ask questions: something like a chat buffer or a command where I can ask about code, get explanations, etc. Again, I'm in control; it only acts when I...

Looks like they only test in `prod`. Probably they used grok to generate the tests code ;)

Show HN: Minefield – Fast SBOM Management, 10k Packages Cached in 30s

It’s built to handle large-scale projects with speed and efficiency.Managing thousands of dependencies and ensuring they are vulnerability-free is daunting, especially in large software projects. Minefield...

These projects are under https://github.com/ossf which is part of Linux foundation.
I am maintainer of couple of OSS projects https://github.com/ossf/scorecard https://github.com/ossf/package-analysis

These projects help with repository best practices and does some level of npm package analysis based on rules.

I have got my kids hooked on vim https://vim-adventures.com/
I have 2 kids 14 and 12. My 14 year old has started solving medium level leetcode problems (which I am happy about).

Talk to them often about code, technology etc.One thing that helped IMHO spending a lot of time in solving math problems (AOPS) , which made think through hard problems and had to grind through solutions which took time. My kids love Big Bang Theory and anything that is geeky. I talk to them about the latest things that are happening in tech like the recent hack and the malware.

I recently read this book https://www.amazon.com/But-How-Know-Principles-Computers-ebo... and sat and drew with my kids and,or , xor and nand gates.Building Mindcraft MOD can be another fun project.

Be patient and it helps a lot IMO.

Good luck :)
