I Stopped Running Agent-Generated Code on My Laptop: A 20-Minute Disposable Sandbox

An engineer created a disposable sandbox to test AI agents without risking their laptop. They used a throwaway server and set up a 20-minute provisioning script to ensure the box was isolated. The script created an unprivileged user, locked down the user, and set up logging. This setup allows the engineer to test AI agents without risking their laptop or paid model quota. To replicate, use a cheap VPS or cloud free tier and run the provided provisioning script.
