MicroVM based sandboxes for agents, with container support, in a small independent binary installable from brew/winget


Docker sandboxes uses a MicroVM as an additional isolation layer - its not just containers (as also mentioned in the nanoclaw post)


This still does not help with, you can call foo, but not bar. We have plenty of existing tooling for that too.


Outlining this as precision versus using 100s of thousands on chainguard, seems like 2 extremes pitted against eachother, when hardened images is largely free now: https://hub.docker.com/hardened-images/catalog


- Each agent runs in a dedicated microVM - agents can build and run Docker containers inside the MicroVM - no access to the host Docker daemon - network isolation with allow and deny lists - available for macOs and windows (linux support coming)


> no access to the host Docker daemon

I believe this is likely the only downside, but for good reasons!



I was not aware of this one but I am talking about running it on the cloud like making a direct competitor to modal


purely curious, but why did you go with ollama instead of the built in LLM runner in docker, since you are also using docker?


great idea! I went with Ollama because I found set up to be slightly easier. But technically both should offer the same experience and altogether - hosting both in Docker is very logical. That will be the next iteration of my write up!


Remember interviewing for a security role at Phillip Morris who owns the IQOS e-cigaret brand. They bragged about how the device phoned home every time it could get a bluetooth or wifi connection, to inform of consumption amount and patterns - so they could proactively send users more nicotine.

He dramatically revealed that they were no longer selling tobacco, but rather "Nicotine as a service"

Needless to say, I decided not to work for a merchant of death


"We find that women’s relative earnings and employment increase by 4.4% and 2.9% respectively following the birth of the manager’s first daughter. These effects are driven by an increase in managers’ propensity to replace male workers by hiring women with comparable education, hours worked, and earnings."


For oss projects with heavy pulls, the (free) dsos programme removes all rate limits on their public images, the intention was never to impact projects, but rather mega corporations using hub as free hosting:

Projects are not charged for hub usage
