Not a surprise at all. If you look at https://slicervm.com you'll see he's copied our terminal animation from the top of the website. Took out a monthly subscription for 1x month, cloned the majority of the UX/DX

It's interesting to see this one launch (yes yet another sandbox.. I was getting worried we'd not seen one for a few days) SlicerVM (est. 2022) is already used for prime time, not "free as in beer" but has pretty reasona

Interesting to see it all play out through the post.. OpenIndiana is virtualized, the Sun Ray connects to it and runs like a thin client. I hadn't heard of "Sun Ray" until today, but it reminds me a lot of the idea behind Lin

The unsloth quants are already available: https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-GGUF The team say it beats 3.5 27B in numerous benchmarks. But it's still a MoE with 3B active per token, so we'll see!

I find it fascinating that a list of OSS/self-hosted S3 projects is on the front page of Hacker News. Familiar with most of these from working with on-premises customers with OpenFaaS. Minio was one of the first we integrated with in 2

Quick comment for the author. Just added this new tool to arkade, along with the existing jq/yq. No Arm64 for Darwin.. seriously? (Only x86_64 darwin.. it's a "choice") No Arm64 for Linux? For Rust tools it's trivia

This reminds me of netbooting workflows from things like MaaS, Tinkerbell, and Dan's old Plunder tool. They'd netboot.. not mount the disks, then download an ISO/IMG and write it directly to the primary boot disk. If netbooti

Hi we've made Superterm free for personal use. Feel free to try it out. There are other free/OSS tools around, we're focusing on: long lived sessions - with notes, attention feedback, and efficient keyboard shortcuts. You don

I think it says something about the current focus and mindset, that this got 12 upvotes, despite you having posted it three times. We also care about security for CI and production workloads (actuated/slicervm). I would have liked to h

We built SlicerVM for this in 2022, but not just for sandboxing. It's for servers + API launched VMs (i.e. what we now like to call a 'sandbox'). Feel free to take a look, a lot of our early users are saying things like this.

AFAIK that's not possible at the moment. Apple limits the full GPU acceleration for macOS guests.

Hi, I'm the author of the article (OpenFaaS founder). Slicer came about as an internal tool (2022) for rapid customer support where we needed real Linux or Kubernetes clusters, not in a few minutes, but as quickly as possible. It share

They used to charge a fair admin fee like 30-70 EUR for most bare-metal hosts.. now it's 99 EUR for the most basic/cheapest option.. up to 350 EUR for something modest like a 16 Core Ryzen.. monthly fees haven't changed much.

This is great news for folks that use microVMs - "we only use AWS" has been an issue for our stuff (slicer services/sandboxes/actuated self-hosted GitHub runners) If anyone here can't wait (as it looks like there&#x

Is this going to need 1x or 2x of those RTX PRO 6000s to allow for a decent KV for an active context length of 64-100k? It's one thing running the model without any context, but coding agents build it up close to the max and that slows

This looks handy.. along with the odd gist of "convert mkv to mp4" that I have to use every other week. Quite telling that these tools need to exist to make ffmpeg actually usable by humans (including very experienced developers).
