If your agentic workload involves the agent being able to run arbitrary code (like bash or equivalent), then you should not use a “LLM as part of your app” framework like LangChain, BeeAI, OGX etc.

In my last post, I talked about the value GitHub provides to FOSS, while arguing that we should avoid deep dependency on it.

The question of using proprietary tools to build FOSS has always been one of the tension points in our community.

Suddenly I have been hearing the term Landlock more in (agent) security circles.

It’s clear LLMs are one of the biggest changes in technology ever.

Sandboxed, reviewed parallel agents make sense For coding and software engineering, I’ve used and experimented with various frontends (FOSS and proprietary) to multiple foundation models (mostly proprietary) trying to keep up with the state of the art.

The systemd docs talk about UsrMerge, and while bootc works nicely with this, it does not require it and never will.

I recently made a new project in Rust that is generating multiple bootable operating system disk image types from a "pristine" image with the goal of deduplicating storage.

Every weekday for many years now I’ve woken up, dropped my kids off at school, then grabbed a coffee and sat down at my computer to work on OpenShift and Fedora+RHEL.

Over 4 years ago now, I wrote about moving ostree to Github, and I wanted to add an update here.
