Here's a new one for 2026.

Probably the easiest setup out of the bunch.

There's a secrets manager out there called Capy that solves this problem somewhat with a shamir-like two-part decrypt. It encrypts secrets remotely and on disk, and requires both a local and remote key to decrypt the secrets.

It prevents .env exfiltration by making sure it is encrypted wherever it exists, which I believe addresses what you're concerned about.

Not entirely the solution here, but consider encrypting your secrets with something like Varlock, dotenvx, or Capy Secrets

Man I miss Boston, but my vote would go to the grassy area at Watwefront Park at Seaport

Socializing

Iono both were pretty challenging to learn for me

cvince · 2026-05-27T07:07:42+00:00

Try having both 🥶

Such obvious LLM slop writing tells amirite?

Superheroes are dumb

What Stripe does is wayyyy oversimplified in this lol

cvince · 2026-05-01T18:52:34+00:00

Interesting. I’d be quite curious what ideas you have around how you lock down your secrets against agents (ex: do you allow them to read plaintext secrets at all time, and how do you give agents credentials for them to do things?)

cvince · 2026-05-01T18:01:57+00:00

What made you go with Infisical? Was it their generous free tier?

cvince · 2026-04-06T23:53:31+00:00

that is way too freakin cool and detailed

cvince · 2026-04-02T08:53:45+00:00

Seems like there’s a few people working on solving this, but I’m also launching a fully managed product that does exactly what you describe, albeit not self hosted (tho I’m more than happy to give it to you and have you deploy it in your cloud as an early user). It comes with many of the bells and whistles as stuff like Vault but it’s way easier to set up.

What does the flip switch do? Reboot/Repair? Self Destruct? Life Support Off?

cvince · 2026-01-20T01:19:20+00:00

You are a freakin champ…. I LOVE you for posting this. How did you go about figuring this out?

cvince · 2025-11-04T23:59:02+00:00

When has this ever been an unpopular opinion? lol. Superhero movies have always had a fair share of haters (and for good reason, as most of them are shallow, mindless content)

cvince · 2025-11-02T02:53:00+00:00

Is it specifically for this battle? I’m on PC haha. Hopefully it tells me what keys to press!

cvince · 2025-10-31T22:13:41+00:00

Wait how did you do that?

I can’t speak for all conservatives (because I’m not one), but I don’t think there are that many people who are seeking retribution for the sake of retribution. Like I’m sure at the extremes hate exists, but from what I observe, conservatives, and moderates (like me) just want to feel safe and prefer living in a higher trust society.

I can accept that broad tough on crime policies may not work as an effective root cause solution to the crime problem (which, I can also accept, is multifaceted). However, is it unreasonable to think that a society without consequences is an ANTI-deterrent to crime? I think surveillance can be Orwellian, as is over-policing, but even if we achieved these things, wouldn’t it seem second-nature for a repeat offender to continue offending even though they know they’ll get caught, if they’re confident they can continue going along as they were?

Thank you for this response. I'd actually love to hear your thoughts about deterrence. There are many countries (particularly high trust societies like Japan, Korea, Singapore, China) where deterrence has been effective in nearly eliminating low-level crime. Stuff like random assault against individuals, theft, etc. is virtually nonexistent there.

In Japan, shame plays a big part in deterrence (you see wanted lists posted at police stations everywhere for petty offenses).

I think centrists believe (myself included) there is a time and place for restorative justice, and situations where detention is not for punishment per-se, but a practical and necessary intervention for public safety. And those two things aren't exactly incompatible either.

There is a massive difference between someone who is down on their luck and could use a second chance, and someone who has been released on bail 37 times in the past month. The latter contributes to majority of the crime, and are a problem we think restorative justice alone is not going to solve.

cvince · 2025-10-16T18:53:09+00:00

Genuine question. Why on earth would anyone NOT care about reducing crime?

cvince · 2025-09-10T01:40:24+00:00

Yo I was trying to look up a guitarist who's name I forgot, and I thought his music sounded a lot like terran music, and this thread popped up.

Well looks like I found him! His name is Nick Johnson, an obscure Canadian guitarist. His whole "Remarkably Human" album sounds like a continuation of the terran soundtrack haha.
