Are you guys really letting a (as of now) non FOSS, presumably vibecoded app have access to your servers, presumably as root, as most people don't follow best practices?

I only tested it on WSL locally, there is bo way im connecting it to a live server without seeing the sourcecode.

You have a never ending stream of show HN. It becomes meaningless. Show HN: Linux server management over SSH – written in Rust and Tauri 2 hours Show HN: The wanderer – cozy weekend game with no objective 14 days Show HN: Feature-packed 6MB Rust+Tauri free bookmarking app 16 days Show HN: HN-jobs aggregator – updated in real-time 27 days Show HN: One no-subscriptions online search for all your agent needs 30 days Sho…

I do. I love to build things, though these things are not that meaningful yet as I want them to be. Most of these (except last 3 and that 'A calculator CLI...') are being actively used by many.

But I should not have shared a single `show hn` more than once.. that I will take care of going ahead.

Beautiful, I have a fetish for beautiful software so here goes my upvote ^

I believe more Rust/Tauri apps will flood the market as that's the best combo right now for desktop apps in universal knowledge reusability for those who come from the web world HTML, CSS, JS. Simplicity and portablility

Just downloaded it and at 8MB is a thing of joy to see apps small again

I think what I have trouble with is the lack of awareness. Anyone and everyone can do this now. It’s great. I do so myself at home, for myself.

But what are you (and millions of others) actually adding here?

Most people already run software like that on their computer, even if it's just your coding harness that could just as easily run ssh and use your keys in ~/.ssh to connect to your servers. In my case I'd get a permission prompt from 1Password as I have my keys in there, but with all the prompts that a modern macOS throws at you the chances of it getting approved mistakenly are not zero. I'd not run OPs software eith…

Anyone who gives an LLM unfettered access to their ssh keys/agent socket deserves what they get IMO. I sandbox Claude with my own bubblewrap-based script which denies it access to anything I deem unnecessary.

What's the business model - and what guarantees are provided that Serverbox[0] won't rug pull after a seed round from Dillon-Edwards[1]? [0] https://stupidlabs.lol [1] https://clownpenisf.art

No financial incentive in mind or planned... I was building it for myself... then, spent a few days extra polishing it so others can use it as well.

Thanks for the reply, did not expect a response.

The initial inquiry was not in good faith, but a satirical critique of the project domain.

The choice of Tauri for a Linux app using AppImage is a dead giveaway they have no clue what they are doing.
