10 interesting things surfaced from HN on 2026-10-23

“I've been using iron proxy recently for a project I just started, it does network restrictions by domain etc with plenty of options, credential swapping and more. I have no affiliation with it, but it solved most of what I need in one go when I was stressing out about it. Only real problem remaining if you truly want to be able to trust agents is how to prevent data (in my case codebases the agent works on) exfiltration a la HF incident. We can restrict network to trusted domains, but there's always a chance an agent could be extra slippery especially if prompt injected and doing something like pushing data out a few characters at a time.”

“You should also try out https://github.com/mapbox/earcut.hpp for the benchmark — it got a refine function recently that refines earcut output to Delaunay as well, and earcut+refine is still pretty fast.”

“I can recommend https://includesecurity.com/ , they're very reasonably priced and will probably catch any glaring issues you have, but they probably won't catch any subtle issues on their entry-level pricing.”

“I've been expecting this news for a while, and I moved to Zen when they changed direction originally. Can highly recommend it as a near drop-in replacement for Arc, albeit built on Firefox.”

“I'm a happy GLS Bank customer, and I've just learned about its involvement in Taler. Pretty awesome.”

“I built it for inference, but I also set it up to run sunshine server and now I have my Steam library on the TV through a Raspberry Pi 3. Even better, it was a fun and interesting project, maybe not as straightforward as you think. Unfortunately it's entirely possible that it costs .24/hr just for the electricity. Now, this feels fine with <10ms input latency over wifi.”
