I did the same for a scanner that was missing an driver for latest macOS! https://github.com/sylvinus/freethescan
Are we all posting our agent VM containers ? :) https://github.com/sylvinus/agent-vm

Why not try to define a strict subset of the current specs, that would target ease of implementation & graceful degradation? I'd rather have many different clients compatible with a "web-lite" spec that is enough to navigate on 95% of websites, which would have an incentive to officially support that subset if it becomes popular enough.
Thanks for the write up. Always interesting to see how very senior developers interact with AI these days.

@antirez: Introducing a regex feature that late into the project for a seemingly unrelated feature feels a bit weird? Can you explain more your rationale on that? thanks!

Re:Agent VM – Lima VMs for local agents and more on Sunday March 08, 2026 @04:59PM (#47301381)
I'm using this as my main way to run Claude & others, it's just a shell wrapper but it provides a lot of niceties and a pretty good developer experience in a single command line. Curious to have feedbacks on it!
Re:Oxide raises $200M Series C on Tuesday February 10, 2026 @09:58AM (#46960519)
Love Oxide and what they're building, but I'm not sure raising even more VC money is the way to build a generational company. Quite the opposite? With money you don't need, you're trading faster growth for more dependencies on third parties that will seek a ROI eventually?
Re:Sandboxing AI Agents in Linux on Tuesday February 03, 2026 @05:04PM (#46877975)
This is the way to go! On my side I've build a very small `claude-vm` wrapper to run each instance in a VM with Lima: https://github.com/sylvinus/agent-vm
Exactly, we do have private forges we build and deploy from.

Show HN: A single command to run Claude Code inside Lima VMs

https://github.com/sylvinus/agent-vm

I am very afraid to run claude (or even npm) on my host system. It is a security incident waiting to happen.To fix that but still keep the friendly developer experience of just typing a single command in the folder I want to work on, I wrote a simple script that allows one to run "claude-vm" anywhere, with the local folder mounted but a fully isolated VM.As bonuses, I added Chrome MCP, Docker,...

Re:ClickHouse raises $350M Series C on Thursday May 29, 2025 @01:17PM (#44128103)
ClickHouse has native support for sampling https://clickhouse.com/docs/sql-reference/statements/select/...
Facts (and code) are following. We're building a fully open source workspace (https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/en) among other ambitious initiatives (https://beta.gouv.fr/).

The turmoil caused by the two contracts you mention also prove that the new normal has already shifted towards open source. It's a slow process, but it's undeniable that we are making progress.

AFAIK, there are lots of contributions from developers in the French government to the Grist open source repository. We also deploy it, we have instances running in various government agencies.

For Docs, we bootstrapped the repository ourselves on top of Django, Next.js, BlockNote.js, Y.js and many others. We welcome contributions!

Well I think that most of our users have never typed a "[" character... So for them, Markdown is definitely complex :)
Indeed, Docs is already available both in English and German :)

AFAIK we took a lot of inspiration from Gov.uk and 18F/USDS (RIP), at least for digital services. You can look at https://beta.gouv.fr/

Hey. A few developers from the team are on HN and will be happy to answer any questions here!

We also made a small scratchpad you can use to test collaboration features, if it doesn't get too flooded :) https://docs.numerique.gouv.fr/docs/a3f0becc-f2b7-45be-a5e5-...

Not really a database, but I've made a prototype integration of Docs with IronCalc: https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs/pull/466

This could also take the form of a custom block that you could embed in a text document.

Our primary target is indeed larger organizations but we're working on one-click deployment solutions and an all-in-one container.
Re:Busy Status Bar from Flipper Devices on Tuesday October 15, 2024 @03:44AM (#41845928)
The Ulanzi TC001 is a great, cheap piece of hardware. I found a second-hand one for $20 and flashed it via USB with https://github.com/lubeda/EspHoMaTriXv2, a more practical firmware if you already have a bunch of ESPHome devices at home.
Re:Is ClickHouse Moving Away from Open Source? on Friday September 22, 2023 @08:08AM (#37610924)
I don't know him but most of his GitHub activity seems to be contributing to the ClickHouse ecosystem, including popular projects like this one: https://github.com/Altinity/clickhouse-operator

My point is just that he doesn't appear to be someone complaining and not contributing.

Re:Is ClickHouse Moving Away from Open Source? on Friday September 22, 2023 @06:48AM (#37610376)
AFAIK, the author is indeed trying to contribute back, that is the whole point: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/54644
Re:Is ClickHouse Moving Away from Open Source? on Friday September 22, 2023 @06:04AM (#37610090)
There's a kind of survivorship bias here! I'm sure that if Altinity (or others) weren't forced to do RFCs on GitHub like the one mentioned in this article that get low/no attention from the core team, they would be in the top committers :)
Re:Ask HN: Favorite Game Engine? on Tuesday September 12, 2023 @12:49PM (#37484052)
I recently made a small game with https://defold.com/, and it was very pleasant. Completely free and cross-platform out of the box (including Switch & PlayStation support!)
I think this is the part done with the Service Worker, which intercepts network requests: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Service_Wor...
Re:Netlify Acquires Gatsby on Wednesday February 01, 2023 @12:51PM (#34614516)
It still does!
I'm surprised by all the negativity here. Usually HN commenters are good at understanding exponential growth. Maybe it's easier when talking about Active Users?

Climeworks (and others) are just a couple orders of magnitude away from having real impact, with a clear roadmap lying ahead. Let's support them, along with all other potential solutions? We're going to need more than one.

Re:A year with the Elgato Stream Deck on Monday May 30, 2022 @08:05AM (#31558138)
I built something somewhat similar, to link YouTube videos to steam deck buttons so my 2yo kid could listen to his songs :) It runs everywhere Python is available, including raspberry pis ;) Code is here: https://github.com/sylvinus/raspberrydeck
