Running agents remotely, accessing them from anywhere. Not ideal, but it works. Optimize later. iPhone [→ WireGuard] → iSH → ssh Mac Mini → limactl shell → tmux attach → codex --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox

Oye chicos, que lo de levantar una red virtual 5G en "segundos" lo mismo va a ser en "minutos"... Pero levantarse, se levanta antes del lunes. unuko.com/

No conocía Lima y me está encantando. Muy ligero, muy rápido y levant una VM con Ubuntu, MongoDB, Open5GS, and UERANSIM sin complicaciones en 2 minutos. gist.github.com/aperezl/9e07

Seguimos jugando. Ahora gracias a @TheLimaProject puedo provisionar una red con open5GS y detectar el estado de los servicios. AdemĂĄs puedo apagar/encender microservicios para simular caidas en la red. Seguramente esto no le interese a nadie, pero yo me lo estoy pasando genial.

Just last year, I was applying for mentorships. This summer, I’m thrilled to be mentoring for the @TheLimaProject project alongside @_AkihiroSuda_ ! 🙏 We are looking for a mentee to help us bring Windows Support to Lima. Apply here by May 19:  mentorship.lfx.linuxfoundati


One week left to apply for LFX mentorships. đŸ—“ïž Many CNCF project maintainers started as mentees—learning codebases and contributing their first PRs before leading the projects they once studied. If you’re ready to level up your contributions, apply by May 19. Browse projects: bit.ly/4uf7gtl Read about the experience: bit.ly/3QAANiJ #CNCF #CloudNative #LFXMentorship #OpenSource

Couple things inside CLI: - it bootstraps a Lima VM and mounts project folder, forwards necessary ports, installs Codex stuff - Codex App is patched so it can see if folder is mounted and where - Caddy is making pretty localhost urls - You use Codex as normal but sessions are isolated inside VM This way you can run multiple projects fully isolated.

You could make it work with VMs too. For local dev I built a CLI that spins up Lima VM per project. Then worktrees are isolated inside it and you can use Claude Code or Codex CLI directly in VM. Currently making Codex app work this way too.
