I developed a Karpenter provider for Hetzner recently. Might interesting for you to integrate.

Author here. I know there are other projects like Daytona, E2B etc. None of them works with K8s though. Firecracker requires KVM nodes and husk pods to work. There is also the kubernetes-sigs/agent-sandbox project which is similar at a first glance.
So I understand there might come doubts in the comments on whether this is useful but I think the fact that one can run scalable sandboxes for untrusted code on Kubernetes making use of Firecracker and CoW is pretty neat (also for running sub-agents and providing them all the context).
Very interested in any kind of feedback at this stage.
Aqora Quantum | Paris, France | On-site | https://aqora.io
We are looking for a senior sofware engineer (Rust, React) to join our team. Aqora has just raised its seed round and we are growing our team to build the "Huggingface of Quantum Computing". Reach out via hiring at aqora.io
Close at least, yeah
Then it might be my perception bias that I only realize now!
.
Thanks for sharing these!
Interesting, I have recently started working on a project which is similar and fully open source, maybe interesting to some here. Happy to receive any kind of feedback on it.
Yeah very relatable unfortunately!
Snapshot-fork microVM sandboxes for AI agents on Kubernetes.
How does it compare to paperclip?
Aqora | Paris, France / US / Remote (EU) | Multiple roles | https://aqora.io
Aqora is the "Hugging Face for quantum computing". We host datasets, benchmarks, and use-case challenges, plus the orchestration layer to run quantum algorithms and workflows across hardware backends, so results are reproducible, comparable, and actually move the field forward. We grew out of the QuantX hackathons at École Polytechnique and now run competitions and a public datasets hub for partners across pharma, finance, energy, and defense.
We're hiring:
* Senior Full Stack Software Engineer (Rust/React). Build the platform end to end: datasets hub, challenges, leaderboards, and the workflow engine that orchestrates quantum jobs across backends. You own features from schema to UI and care about developer experience. Bonus: data, ML, or research-platform experience.
* Quantum Computing Expert. Design challenges, curate datasets, define benchmarks, and shape how algorithms and workflows run on the platform. Work directly with enterprise partners to translate their problems into something the community can solve. PhD or equivalent depth in quantum algorithms, QML, or optimization.
* Chief Commercial Officer, US. Own US go-to-market end to end: strategy, enterprise pipeline, team build-out. You've scaled commercial functions at a deep-tech, dev-tools, or research-platform company. Based in the US.
* Head of Marketing. Positioning, demand gen, and brand for a category still being defined. B2B technical marketing background required; quantum experience welcome but not necessary, curiosity is.
* Product Manager. Drive the roadmap across the datasets hub, challenges platform, benchmarks, and workflow orchestration. Strong technical instincts and experience shipping developer or research-facing products.
* Sales, EU. Enterprise sales into R&D and innovation teams across Europe. Long, technical sales cycles, consultative selling, comfort talking to PhDs and procurement on the same day. EU-based, remote.
Reach out to jannes[at]aqora.io with a short note on why this problem space and what you've built or sold before.
Cool! I am curious, how does it work and compare to other simulators like the ones from Bluequbit (https://www.bluequbit.io/free-quantum-simulator) and other similar ones?
That’s the point more than getting the actual bitcoin
Isn’t that what entire.io, founded by former GitHub CEO, is doing?
I still think it's cool and shows some direction of where this technology might be heading
Fair enough!
Very interesting! I’ll certainly try it out. I am wondering though what’s the advantage over doing it with a K8s operator (disclaimer, I created and maintain https://github.com/openclaw-rocks/k8s-operator)?
Also, I am genuinely curious about the choice of license.
Given the „new (agentic) way“ in that software is being developed now, don’t you think it can be copied easily and that this kind of license will hinder adoption at some point?
OpenClaw is all the hype right now. I played around with it over the weekend and ended up writing a Kubernetes operator for it.
There have been a lot of security concerns around running OpenClaw, and rightfully so. This operator tries to mitigate the ones it can at the infrastructure level: non-root execution, all capabilities dropped, default-deny NetworkPolicy, a validating webhook that blocks root containers. It won't help with what the agent's skills do, but at least the blast radius is contained.
Full disclosure: this was largely vibe-coded with Claude Code. Some highlights of what came out of it:
- Config changes trigger automatic rollouts via SHA-256 content hashing
- Optional Chromium sidecar for browser automation, hardened with its own security context and shared memory tuning
- The whole thing is a single CRD, so going from zero to a secured instance is just a kubectl apply
Apache 2.0 licensed. Happy to hear feedback.
Yeah, I want to be a techno-optimist. But usually we have to go through some valley first before we understand how the technology actually should be handled (I hope that with "social" media we are slowly reaching the end of the valley time).
thanks! Can you confirm it's working now? Apparently, Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection blocked the Ahrefs analytics script and the way it was handled ended in some endless loop. Should be fixed now
Yes, good point. I think OpenClaw actually helps here by making a broader audience aware of the security risks of using "unchained" LLMs. Securing a probabilistic system is a fundamentally different challenge than auditing kernel code, and we're all still figuring that out.
I am optimistic that OpenClaw will actually drive a lot of security tooling around the use of LLMs from here
oh, which browser are you using if I might ask? I can't reproduce it
Author here. I run OpenClaw.rocks, a hosting service for OpenClaw AI agents.
The parallel I'm drawing: LLMs are commoditizing the way x86 hardware did in the early 90s. What's missing is the open-source operating system on top - the layer that connects a token prediction API to your actual tools and messaging apps. That's what OpenClaw does.
I know the analogy is imperfect (and I address where it breaks in the post). Happy to discuss the technical architecture, the agent layer thesis, or where you think I'm wrong.
Interesting! What would you say is the single biggest difference to OpenClaw?
From what I see and hear, it seems very similar. What do you do that you think OpenClaw will never „get right“?
Realm.fun | Full-Stack Engineer | Remote (EU timezone preferred)
Realm.fun is a game server hosting platform - think "Vercel for game servers." We make it dead simple to spin up Minecraft, Valheim, Palworld, and 25+ other game servers in seconds.
Stack:
- TypeScript, Astro 5 (SSR), Tailwind CSS
- Supabase (PostgreSQL), Stripe
- Docker, Kubernetes, Pelican Panel
- Deployed on Hetzner Cloud
What you'd work on:
- Building the dashboard where players manage their servers
- Real-time features (console, metrics, player lists)
- Payment/subscription flows
- Infrastructure automation (node provisioning, scaling)
What we're looking for:
- Strong TypeScript skills
- Experience with either frontend (React/Astro) or backend (Node/PostgreSQL)
- Comfortable with infrastructure (Docker, K8s is a plus)
- Bonus: You've actually hosted or played on game servers
Small team, early stage, lots of ownership. We're bootstrapped and profitable.
Apply: https://realm.fun/careersyes, +1 for the assembly analogy. I absolutely feel the same about it
This sounds interesting! I haven’t tried such device before but I’d be curious if someone here has recommendations.
Also to the author: what do you think about brain computer interfaces for this in the future?
