A good day to quote this thread. Thank you to the team for pushing the vision forward 🥹.
@sysconf_ #SysConf #SysConf26
I try to articulate one vision for @sysconf_ in a short essay. It’s important to consider why we even bother and what we hope to achieve.
If we can learn from you, please apply. If you know someone we can learn from, ask them to apply.
Link in thread.

Seeing part of our speaker list this way makes me appreciate the work of the team even more. We care very much about the quality of the sessions.
I consider it a great honor to give technical people doing valuable work a platform. We can learn from you. Iron can sharpen iron.
We’ll work hard to make sure the standard never drops @sysconf_.
That’s one of the few conferences that’s always super international about their speakers line up. Not popularity, not numbers of followers, just pure technical input.

Very excited for this. I’ll be talking about homelabbing, the useful and practical stuff you can do with it, and all the fun and interesting things I’ve learnt along the way.
We're excited to announce Olukayode E. Adegbite (@olucurious) as a speaker at SysConf 2026!
His talk is titled "Building a Homelab for Fun and Learning."
What started as a repurposed Dell workstation for running his own services became Olukayode's way to own unfamiliar parts of computing end to end. In this talk, he'll share how his homelab evolved, from virtualization and network segmentation to remote access, monitoring, and backups. He'll also cover the mistakes and lessons along the way, and why a homelab is a great place to build useful things, try unfamiliar technology, break things safely, and have fun!
#SysConf #SysConf26
ALT "Building a Homelab for Fun and Learning" is the title of Olukayode’s talk at SysConf 2026.
ALT Olukayode E. Adegbite is a software engineer and product builder with experience in backend systems and infrastructure. He currently works at Juicyway, building products and integrations for cross-border payments, and was previously on Meta's New Product Experimentation (NPE) team. Outside of work, he builds side projects, experiments with self-hosted software, and tinkers with his homelab to better understand the systems behind everyday software.

super excited to finally announce this. 🥳
it’s been months in the making, especially supporting both arm64 and x86-64.
this is one of many critical pieces we think agents will need to flexibly use computers. but, we’re not done yet.
even more exciting stuffs soon ;)🤗🫢

The confusing step, the edge case, the flow that quietly breaks. Someone always finds them, and it's usually a user.
So I built Curiosity. It explores your product like your users do and files what breaks.

We’re excited to announce Toks Nkemdilim (@toksdotdev), CTO of Microsandbox (@microsandbox), as a speaker at SysConf 2026!
His talk is titled “From Local to Cloud: How Microsandbox's Init System Powers Execution.”
At the core of Microsandbox is agentd, a purpose-built init system running inside every microVM. As PID 1, it bootstraps the guest, manages process lifecycles, reaps child processes, handles shutdown, and provides the interface through which the host executes and controls workloads.
His talk follows an execution request across the microVM boundary: from the SDK, through the host runtime, into agentd, and back as a stream of process events. He’ll cover how compact message formats, correlation IDs, protocol negotiation, and capability checks allow multiple commands and clients to share runtimes safely, from local setups to Microsandbox’s Cloud.
#SysConf #SysConf26
ALT “From Local to Cloud: How Microsandbox's Init System Powers Execution” is the title of Toks’ talk at SysConf 2026.
ALT Tochukwu "Toks" Nkemdilim is the CTO and co-founder of Microsandbox (YC F26), an open-source microVM runtime for securely running AI agents and untrusted code, locally, in the Cloud, or on private infrastructure. He works hands-on across the stack, from the microVM runtime and its networking layer all the way up to the cloud platform. Before Microsandbox, he was a systems engineer at Cloudflare.

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.

I've known Benji professionally and personally for over a decade now.
I've heard him recount his story and the @NALAmoney journey around the world, from Palo Alto to London to Dar es Salaam.
In every one of these stories, he evokes a pride about America and the American experience. About what it meant for this country to believe in him; about the responsibility he has to those that placed their trust in him.
He's then shown up by building a valuable American company, employing Americans, and perhaps most tellingly, carrying the spirit of American entrepreneurship around the world.
And it's much needed. These are parts of the world where anti-American influence can be pervasive and the true differentiation we have is showing everyone - from the voices of their very best countrymen - that the American experiment is real and that it is honorable.
Every time I see the friction of this immigration regime against our desire for the revival of American values around the world, I continue to be let down by our inability to practice the art of self-interested restraint.
At some point, the tech community will need to come to terms with which fight it is actually trying to win.

Here's one of many stories of how some of the fastest-growing fintechs use @RulebaseHQ to scale their customer operations.
A year ago, Rho reviewed only a tiny fraction of customer interactions by hand and caught issues weeks late. Today, Rulebase reviews 100% of interactions across phone, email, and chat in real time, then acts on what it finds.
When an interaction shows a customer at risk, a repeat contact, or an SLA about to slip, a Rulebase agent picks it up, loops in the owning team, and follows through to resolution.
The results: 4x more issues caught, 3x fewer escalations, and ~90% less manual review.

Congrats Rulebase team on the massive launch of Revenue Agent!
Every fintech has a graveyard of approved accounts that never transacted. Their AI agents nudge every stalled account to their first transaction.
And you can tell it's a designer founder because everything from product to new website looks & works gooood 💅 rulebase.co/
We’re excited to launch the @RulebaseHQ Revenue Agents to help fintechs get more customers from application to first transaction.
It runs client and merchant onboarding end-to-end: chasing missing documents, following up on failed checks, clearing review blockers, and keeping accounts moving over days, weeks, or months. We also crossed 15 million reviews. Thank you to all our partners and customers.
We launched Revenue on @RulebaseHQ today to help fast-growing fintechs onboard more customers and merchants.
Our agents connect with your existing tools to run end-to-end onboarding: collecting and following up on missing documents, reactivating dormant accounts, and much more across voice, email, SMS, WhatsApp and more!

アルテミス1のオリオン宇宙船の大気圏再突入動画、20倍速にしてみました。25分も見てられないという方はどうぞ。1分15秒です。Credit: NASA
アルテミス2のオリオン宇宙船が日本時間の明日朝、大気圏に再突入して帰還します。
動画はアルテミス1での無人のオリオン宇宙船の大気圏再突入から着水までを、宇宙船からから撮影したものです。
アルテミス1ではスキップエントリーという方法で帰還しました。大気圏に再突入した後でいったん宇宙空間へ戻り、その後また再突入するという方法です。水面に石を投げた時のいわゆる「水切り」に似ています。
アルテミス2では、大気圏に一度突入した後の「スキップ」を抑えて地上へと降りてきます。
