Gave your comment a bit more thought and I kind of agree, and removed the image! Thanks for your feedback.

Good point! Running in isolation does reduce the amount of sensitive things an LLM has access to though, which typically can be quite a lot (SSH keys, Cloud credentials, communication tools, etc.)

I've had LLMs assist me in putting together the comparison. I did edit it, and found the comparison good and wanted to keep it. The rest of the post is all hand written and thoroughly manually tested.

I recently wrote a blog post about just that - how to run LLMs in Lima VMs: https://www.metachris.dev/2025/11/sandbox-your-ai-dev-tools-...

Absolutely, good old VMs can really provide the needed isolation while still having good UX. I just published a post on setting up dev VMs with Lima: https://www.metachris.dev/2025/11/sandbox-your-ai-dev-tools-...

Can you work less (maybe for some time)? Getting yourself bigger chunks of free time might help. All the best!

TLS doesn't help here, because state actors (including China, Russia) own trusted root certificates, which allow them to TLS-terminate for _any_ website they choose and silently decrypt/MITM the traffic.

You could just rent a beefy server for like $40/month at hetzner or OVH and use VS Code with the remote development extension.

1ox seems like a year's supply for an average person.

A really heavy smoker can consume up to several grams a day. Let's say 5 grams, that'd be 150g per month (5oz per month).

Agree that it's hard to argue for 200 plants being personal use; 20 would be more realistic. For 200 plants, it's a big operation! Also, you can grow them in like 3-month cycles too.

This was a pretty sophisticated attack and deeply technical execution.

I mean, there were plenty of poor people, and there's free stuff, so...

The Ethereum community still is.
