Zekio··on Show HN: My OpenClaw tried to exfiltrate my SSH keys, so I built a guardrail
I will never understand why people don't just give OpenClaw instances their own set of credentials, that are limited, like you would a newbie employee.

Or even more limiting, use proxies, for instance when setting up the LLM connection instead of giving it the OpenRouter, OpenAI api keys directly, give it access via proxy that is running on a machine next to it.

I sent it with a fake email with his own name, so eh

to my knowledge all the major userscript extensions, at least allow watching for file changes so you don't have to copy it manually, so you can just refresh the page to test
Zekio··on Microsoft forced me to switch to Linux
this is why a lot of people run arch and why valve based steamOS on arch instead of debian as the previous version was, you need a newer kernel and other packages to really play games on linux with the least friction possible

Zekio··on Steam Machine

Zekio··on Replacing a $3000/mo Heroku bill with a $55/mo server
well once you "need" that swap, it will be writing pages across the network due to the storage being external to the physical server, so the latency is terrible
Zekio··on A simple and modern emoji copy and paste website
wouldn't it make more sense to just use the built in emoji keyboards? `win` + `.` on windows or `super` + `.` on linux or `command` + `ctrl` + `space` on macOS
