I think for over 90% of use cases, if you're spending your time implementing an agent from scratch, you're already behind or potentially have already lost the race.
Stop building agents, start harnessing Goose.

The only really easy subsystem to model in YANG so far in Infix OS has been NTP and it’s mostly thanks to the maturity of the RFC and the amazing little piece of #OpenSource software that is Chrony 🤩🎉

I worked with Duane at #PayPal - he was a big help in my first steps into #openSource! I'm glad to see him in this important role.

I've been slowly working towards a transparent and risk oriented permission system in the self-hosted personal #ai assistant "Relagent".
Every chat session has it's own sensitivity level. Permissions are granted for a sensitivity up to this level. So you can allow less critical contexts to use tool more freely that ones containing private information.

I've heard implied that one of the sine-qua-non traits of open source software is that anyone can contribute. Is this true? I would like for others to fork my stuff and make it their own if they please, but I don't want to accept unaffiliated contributions to my own versions of my software. Is that bad? If so, why?
