Isn’t the problem that it’s supposed to not execute commands without strict approval but the shell stdout redirection in combination with process substitution is bypassing this.

A real CLI and not that joke they called a CLI before?

Yes, similar to CC or other agent CLIs, but not many features yet. Released a few days ago.

Works fine on my 5 year old iPad Pro with an A12 processor.

Can you use that with for instance a postgres server? I thought it would only work with DuckDB (sqlite?) databases.

Yes, DuckDB has a postgres extension which works via libpq.

Other extensions include but aren't limited to: MySQL, AWS, Azure, Excel, Iceberg, JSON

I actually have some apps still which I bought for life years back but doesn't offer that anymore. For instance blink shell for iOS devices.

You probably know this but it’s possible to buy a controller card for the panel on Ali Express and retro-fit into the case and use as a monitor if you are ready to retire the computer itself.

I’m contemplating doing this myself at some point but my maxed out 2019 iMac upgraded to 128GB ram and extra SSD is still plenty fast for me, actually feels subjectively quicker than my M2 Pro MacBook Pro with significantly less ram feel. I was a bit surprised as I had read all the hype of the responsiveness of the Apple M-machines.

I have not read this but I can recommend Vernor Vinges book “A Deepness of the Sky” on a similar theme. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Deepness_in_the_Sky

I've read both and both are 10/10. But if you use a 100-point scale then Vinge's book is 99/100 and Tchaikovsky's is 95/100.

Then I will put this one on my to read list. I actually re-read the book by Vinge recently after he passed.

Interesting, does anyone have a list of known providers vulnerability to this in the past? I'm thinking big providers like G-Suite, Office 365, Zoho, Fastmail, etc.

I can only talk from personal experience I did not trust most online payments around the turn of the millennium, but I did order quite a few things online. I usually payed either by collect on delivery or by invoice like regular good old fashioned mail-order, or by the early 00s VISA had something called e-card or similar, where you could generate a temporary one time use CC via a Java applet, this card was only valid for a day and could only be charged by a pre-determined amount, making the risk very low.

We were aware of this in the earliest days of amzn, and included a phone-in payment option to try to deal with this reluctance. It was rarely, rarely used.

Cool! Are you doing this mostly as a fun exercise or do you have a plan to provide something postgrest does not in the future?

Glad you like it.

I have quite ambitious plans, even though it started as a hobby project. In addition to the already developed DDL functionality and multi-database management, the next main features will include:

* Admin UI

* Projects with templates and versioning

* Migrations and deployment
