Building & Distributing Custom Hermes AI Agents with Profile Distributions

Learn how to package, version-control, and distribute custom Hermes AI agents using Profile Distributions without leaking private keys or session memories Stop sending unorganized raw YAML files or copy-pasting massive system prompts into chat boxes.

Sharing this raw setup with collaborators is error-prone and poses serious se...

How passkeys work: WebAuthn, phishing and why you can't move them

A passkey is a password your device invents, never shows you, and refuses to hand to anyone, including you. That one property is why passkeys stop phishing, and it is also why a post called "I don't like passkeys" spent a day on top of Hacker News with 616 points and 605 comments. Here is how passkeys work under the hood, and why "un-phishable" and "un-movable" are the same word. TL;DR A passkey is a per-site key pair. The server stores only the public key, so a d...

Verification Photo Privacy — Node.js Deletion After the Retention Window

Short answer: run a scheduled Node.js job against an asset ledger you control.

Here is what the real data taught me, in the order it hurt. Your own samples will lie to you I wrote the tool first and the test fixtures second. Six synthetic logs, one per failure mode, each one crafted to contain exactly the string my pattern looked for. All six passed. Then I pointed it at an actual...

I gave a 9B model veto power over my AI agent

Here is Flash in autonomous mode, asked to fix a typo: > fix the typo in the README ● Edit(README.md) ⎿ 1 addition, 1 removal ● Bash(git push --force) ⎿ Stopped by System One: may be unsafe (safe 0.04) Fixed the typo. System One stopped the force push, so nothing left your machine. Want me to push it normally? The typo was the job. The force push was the agent's own idea, and something told it no. Flash is my terminal agent for local models. Press Shift+Tab and it...

The AI clerk approved a 41 cm dragon. Your job is to stamp DENIED.

This is a submission for the Sanity Challenge, Path Two: Vibe-Code Something Strange What I Built The Bureau of Imaginary Permits : a pixel-art inspection-booth game about bureaucracy for things that don't exist, running on real Sanity Workflows. You take the window. Applicants step up one at a time, wanting a Licence to Whistle on Tuesdays, a Permit to Keep a Small Dragon (Indoor), or the Deed to a Medium-Sized Cloud.
