Agents get their own Mac mini, email and Telegram: one user's isolation boundary setup
1FunkyFriedChicken · reddit · 2026-10-13
A user describes a fully isolated agent setup: Claude Code, Codex, Hermes and a Grok bot run exclusively on a dedicated Mac mini, while the personal Windows machine holds no agents or credentials. Agents have their own email addresses and Telegram accounts, and the author commands them remotely via Telegram.
If an agent goes rogue, the blast radius is one machine plus throwaway accounts. Tradeoffs: an extra machine to maintain, and anything connected remains exposed. The post invites community discussion on isolation boundaries — dedicated machine, cloud server, or shared personal computer.
