Requirements for testing:

- Metamask and some Sepolia testnet ETH (can provide, or use the faucet: https://sepolia-faucet.pk910.de/) - An old PC (with virtualization support) you have lying around, or a VM if your setup supports nested virtualization. - ipv6 connectivity Will install Debian on boot on the first detected hard drive without confirmation, after finishing up a setup wizard can be accessed with a browser (link + OTP code on console).

On completing the wizard, the system will automatically deploy the needed smart contracts (point of sale + access credential NFT), and acquire a free ipv6 prefix at a decentralized tunnel broker. On reboot: a fully working VPS hosting provider, a signup page will be hosted on the public ipv6 address assigned to the Blockhost machine.

Customer flow:

- Connect wallet, sign message - Choose package, amount of days, and submit - Server picks up order, provisions VM, assigns ipv6, and sends access credential NFT to user containing encrypted connection info - User decrypts info in the signup page - On SSH login user is presented with link to signing page, and an OTP code to sign with their wallet. - Paste resulting signature, server will verify if wallet address owns NFT tied to this VM and grant access if so. Build steps:

git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:mwaddip/blockhost.git ./scripts/check-build-deps.sh ./scripts/build-iso --testing --backend [libvirt,proxmox] Still missing for now:

- Admin panel - Health monitoring - Limits

Beyond the given macOS protections (say iCloud/Photos, Full Disk Access, etc.), what’s the best way to hard-sandbox AI tools to prevent unauthorized/unintended file or network access?

I am looking for ways to secure this proactively without depending upon the LLL/tool provider's promise or declared guidelines/ethics, but other than buying a second dedicated computer.

Hi HN,

This is a new tab page I started building for myself close to 4 months ago, it started with a simple markdown editor with task extraction support and I kept expanding it depending on what I wanted.

I was sick of the current state of new tab pages, either they were very minimal (good morning, some quotes, etc) or were data collection agents.

I was also not really keen on downloading and using an electron note-taking app since my browser's already open and falling into configuration hell was a path I had taking numerous times.

There are quite a few features that people may find useful:

1. Timing functions: A clock and world clock with keyboard driven conversion - I was tired of Googling times in multiple timezones trying to co-ordinate between devs and clients.

2. Ambient Chaos: Upload your ambient sounds, use it as a central mixer - I usually listen to ambient music, nature sounds, fireplaces, etc while working. Having a youtube tab consume 400+MB while doing that wasn't very fun.

3. QuickLog: Not all thoughts need their dedicated note; a quick kb driven logging widget which rotates at the end of each day. Promotable to your main notes.

4. Notes & Tasks: A CodeMirror based Markdown editor with nested task extraction to a separate widget - parses all your notes, extracts all tasks and gives a tree view of tasks across files or per-file.

5. Tab Debt: A nested tab widget which tracks what links were opened from where and how long they've been open. You can select and close/save them.

6. Weather: Just a detailed weather widget with forecasts and a LLM summary (if you add a key)

7. Discussions and Bookmark Chat - You can chat with HackerNews and Reddit discussions & articles with the LLM of your choice (BYOK); supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Cerebras. It also has the ability to sync and parse your bookmarks with scraping support.

A little more on 7:

Sometimes when I use reddit to find product alternatives, the sheer volume of suggestions, often repeated with different usecases makes the process harder. The discussions chat supports proper backlinking to comments in the thread. With bookmarks, I kept losing really cool stuff I had saved and never knew the gems I had just collecting dust. A quick "find me bookmarks on 3d postprocessing" really helps now.

It's up on the Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pgfpnakgiejllklfaam...

The Firefox version is a little buggy so the publishing is delayed there but if you'd like to test it out you can download it here: https://deepflowdata.tech/commander-0.1.0-firefox.zip

Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAqbmOT_6wk

This extension is something I personally use, doesn't collect any data and doesn't interact with the internet unless you use the LLM chat with your own key. Planning on making this OSS software after cleaning up the mess that the codebase is basically over 3-4 months of treating it like a sandbox.

Open to hearing feedback, critique and anything in between :) Have a great day/night!
