What Hacker News says

I’ve been working on a sandboxing tool that uses Incus. Originally it was only to run LLMs inside a sandbox, but recently I added MCP so that an agent could spin one up and do work that way. It currently only exposes a rudimentary set of tools which I’d like to expand. The sandboxes created by MCP are generally ephemeral. The daemon will clean them up after an hour of no usage. But it’s so cool that they get their own IP and you can ssh straight in. I can see that being very useful when you want to share with a colleague and then close your laptop (assuming it’s running on a remote instance). https://github.com/deevus/pixels
