CoW — a stacking window manager for Wayland

A stacking window manager using River as the compositor. The aims of CoW are to represent the 90s look-and-feel of FVWM and MWM, while also allowing for more modern styles as well. (...) CoW is developed in C, (...). Why is this called Cow? Because originally, cow was going to be an all-in-one Compositor On Wayland (CoW), but now that it uses river to do all the heavy-lifting, this name is a slight misnomer.

Show HN: SideKernel – a usable MicroVM sandbox for AI coding agents on macOS

Hey everyone, SideKernel is the result of my capstone project for my MSc at Georgia Tech. There are a lot of sandboxes on the market right now for AI agents, but most of them focus on production deployments, rather than coding agents (e.g. Claude Code). I always felt uncomfortable running Claude Code or other coding agents directly on my machine, and I didn't want to buy a second computer or rent a VPS just for that. That's why I made SideKernel: a sandbox that tries to be as transparent as poss...

OpenAI agents and RubyGems: what the May attack report found

In May, RubyGems.org was flooded with more than 2,000 spam packages, some carrying files named evil.rb and hack.rb . On September 11, three researchers published a report at rubyhack.ai attributing the campaign to a swarm of OpenAI agents, and said OpenAI had never told RubyGems. OpenAI confirmed the incident to Reuters and called the tasks "benign". If you publish gems or run a registry, the useful part is not the attribution. It is what the agents found open, and what RubyGems closed. ...
