denis4inet··on Ask HN: What is the "Control Plane" for local AI agents?
probably could be solved partly through langfuse + hooks, if question just in session history
denis4inet··on Ask HN: DIY baby cams/monitor(s) with privacy?
What about MotionEye on OrangePi Zero? You can install Armbian on OrangePi Zero board and then install `motioneye`.

I have used this script to install it on my board: https://gist.github.com/dzianisv/b299785c9ec697b78ad2f4bed53...

denis4inet··on Ask HN: Photo Storage for Travelers
It costs 25$/month for 2TB, 5TB will cost about 50$/month I guess. 600$/year it costs more then my current setup and still requires a good throughput in the hotel, that is not real.
denis4inet··on Ask HN: Web3 Shutterstock Alternative
Interesting. I think there is a legal way to create a legal contract that will the following: ownership/copyright is managed this NFT.
denis4inet··on Ask HN: Web3 Shutterstock Alternative
Not a lawyer at all) I guess in the same way as NFT?

How much it will cost for me as for the end user to upload and store a one 100MB video using this storage? Looks like 50 video will be for free, then I need a subscription.
denis4inet··on Ask HN: WebRTC self-hosted file sharing
It doesn't look as a web-friendly solution, end user has to install a python, but I will check it out, probably it could be improved in the way I can share just a link.
denis4inet··on Ask HN: WebRTC self-hosted file sharing
It could be used as a base. But in the way it works right now not-encrypted private information could leak.
denis4inet··on Ask HW: Qubes OS alternative on LXD containers
Yes :)
denis4inet··on Ask HW: Qubes OS alternative on LXD containers
It isolates just "one application" inside "one domain". What I am looking, is lightweight OS with systemd, network stack, etc, docker and other service running inside.
denis4inet··on Ask HW: Qubes OS alternative on LXD containers
External storage per domain is not so conviniet. Time to reboot + USB3 cable doesn't work good to me. Probably, I can consider SD storage. BTW, if we talk about multiboot, I am ok with a few encrypted partitions on internal storage.

Heh, I started to learn Computer Science on Windows, then tried Linux and no way to be back to Windows if it is not required by a job or some tasks, like video editing.

> LXD does not provide security for that case. > (unprivileged containers do have some sort of security measure related to this by mapping the uid 0 inside the container to one that is not privileged outside the container)

it is what at least I need, it works with SW I was required to install

> X is not designed with security in mind I considered risk, I understand that there are still vulnerabilities like some software can read keyboard input from other windows, but I take this risk. BTW, for full isolation I have seen that people start a new X.org session as well.

Hi there! Remote work in Tech is everywhere! To simplify digital nomad life I tried to use one laptop for work and personal tasks. And it becomes tricky. Different employers require to install some proprietary software for communication, work, and security audit. I don't like to do that on a personal laptop. Some proprietary software running as root is a bad idea. On another side, it is not so convenient to travel with a lot of hardware. I tried virtual machines, but they are slow and drain the battery quickly. I tried docker but without systemd support, it doesn't allow us to run a lot of software. Then I discovered LXD, wrote helper scripts, and configured profiles to pass X.org, Pulse Audio, Video devices, etc. It solved the issue, but it is not so user-friendly as it should be. I like the QubesOS approach and UX, but I don't use it because the same reasons VM doesn't work for me.

What do you think about domain-based applications environments Linux distribution with UX similar to QubesOS but based on LXD? For instance, I need the following isolated domains: "work" with Ubuntu 20.04, "personal" with Archlinux, "secops" with KaliLinux for another employer, "media" with Ubuntu Studio. And my host OS just list applications inside domains in applications menu. For me it looks like Firefox Containers (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...) but for the applications.
