I am no friend to oppressors, but I deeply hate that self-driving cars get wrapped up here. This would be such an insane good in the world (30k+ people in the US saved yearly), we need it so badly.
The Washington Post editorial page shows its ass every day as a tool to advance Bezos positions. Last week, there was some hysterical union bashing. Today it's a pro-driverless car piece, a business Amazon is in. Anything to kil human jobs.

The denaturalization project, no matter how it is cloaked in law, is inherently a politically targeted abuse of power until they go after the single most prominent case of naturalization fraud in the country: Elon Musk obtaining his citizenship by lying about his prior immigration status violations.

No etcd cluster. No Consul. No ZooKeeper. Start locking via HTTP.
Single 🦀 binary. Self-hostable. Free hosted version.
No business model. Just a thing that should exist.

after going through the brutal process to manually transfer all my domains to cloudflare, i'm never doing this again with ANY service. If you don't have an API upfront, i'm not using you. Period.

Your AI agents have raw credentials, API keys, and full file access. That's ... not good.
We built an infrastructure layer between your agents and your data. Framework-agnostic. Works with OpenClaw,@langchain.bsky.social .. you name it.
Take back control.

Everyone's building AI agents. Nobody's talking about what happens when those agents have unfettered access to your production database.
We just published our approach at
