Show HN: Rama 0.2 – Modular Rust framework for proxies, servers, and clientshttps://github.com/plabayo/rama/discussions/544We've been working on Rama for over 3 years — it's a modular Rust framework for moving and transforming network packets. It’s already in production at several companies handling terabytes of traffic daily.Rama gives you: - Full control over transport (TCP/UDP), TLS (Rustls/BoringSSL), HTTP routing - User-agent detection fingerprinting (JA3/JA4/JA4H) and emulation - A composable Tower-like service/layer model - Part of the Tokio ecosystem - Lots of built-in services, but easy to extend or replace anythingThis 0.2 release solidifies the core concept. We’re already working on 0.3 (socks5, WebSockets, improvements to our crypto/tls story, removal of `Context` concept, etc.). Learn more about our release cycles in the announcement post.Initial socks5 support is finished since today in main branch, which I believe is the most complete socks5 support within the Rust ecosystem, and similar to the entire rama framework it is there to empower you to execute wherever your creativity drives you (eMay 13, 2025 12:42 PM

Effortless Database Subsetting with Jailer: A Must-Have Tool for QA and DevOpshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43971509Working with production-scale databases in test or staging environments can be painful — large, slow, and often non-compliant with privacy regulations. If you’ve ever needed a clean, referentially intact subset of your database without writing complex SQL scripts, you’ll want to meet Jailer.What is Jailer?Jailer is a powerful open-source tool for: - Extracting consistent data subsets from relational databases. - Maintaining referential integrity (it follows foreign keys for you). - Creating test datasets, migrating data, and anonymizing sensitive fields.It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, SQLite, and more.Why You Should Use It No more writing JOIN-heavy SQL to extract dependent records. Ideal for test data provisioning, especially for complex schemas. Works well in data privacy contexts (GDPR, HIPAA) when full exports aren’t allowed. Helps speed up CI pipelines by avoiding bloated test DBs. A Simple Use Case: Extract Customers with Their Orders Let’s say you want to extrMay 13, 2025 10:42 AM

Shortest Pencils, First-Gen Students and English: Teaching in Kathmanduhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43971312Every Friday for the last two years, I have been teaching English as a language rather than a subject that needs to be studied in a public school in Kathmandu.But if you were to ask me, “Can they speak English fluently now?”My answer would be, “Not really. But they are trying their best and so am I.”A majority of students in public schools are first-generation students. Globally, first-generation students are those whose parents didn’t complete a four-year college or university degree. In Nepal, first-generation students are those whose parents haven’t completed high school or even attended school at all.I am a first-generation student and so are my students.My students come from the lowest income families and their parents make a living for their entire households through daily wages: working at construction sites, driving rickshaws, and selling vegetables among others. The parents understand the importance of education and send their children to school.Sending children to school defiMay 13, 2025 10:02 AM

Show HN: LLM-God – An LLM Multiprompting Apphttps://github.com/czhou578/llm-god/tree/1.0.3I’ve been building and maintaining LLM-God, a desktop LLM prompting app for Windows, built with Electron. It allows you to ask one question to multiple LLM web interfaces at once and see all the returned answers in one place. As a very big user of AI tools in my daily life, I hated having to click through multiple tabs in my browser, and slowly copy paste a single query into multiple LLM web interfaces. This inspired me to find a better way, which resulted in this app. I tried to make it as minimalistic as possible while still being functional.Key features:• Starts with a default of Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Gemini, with the option to add more LLM's like Grok, Claude, and DeepSeek.• Responsive, keyboard-friendly interface.Link to the video demo is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10ECa__WWmJEAWAfwrCGPYDnEzvM...Feedback is welcome here, on GitHub: https://github.com/czhou578/llm-god/tree/1.0.3May 13, 2025 12:46 AM
