Ask HN: What can I do to fight internet censorship in Spain as a non-EU citizen?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44997883Thanks to a recent court order [1], and in an effort to "prevent piracy", La Liga (the Spanish football league) has ordered major ISPs in Spain to block access to IP ranges belonging to CDNs during football events. [2]Since this measure is imposed on ISPs by court order, I understand that complaining to them as an ordinary customer would be ineffective. As a non-EU citizen, is there anything I can do to push back against this kind of restriction on internet freedom?Currently I've configured my home router to use mosdns [3] to rewrite DNS answers in the Cloudflare IP ranges to known-good addresses (e.g., chatgpt.com, medium.com). This works for now but will eventually be defeated by SNI-based blocking, which some ISPs are already doing.[1]: https://vercel.com/blog/update-on-spain-and-laliga-blocks-of-the-internet [2]: https://hayahora.futbol/ [3]: https://github.com/IrineSistiana/mosdns

Show HN: Unbreakable – An AI Focus App That Blocks Based on Context, Not URLshttps://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/unbreakable/npmbeimjlocaknjjagjcdclmgiogofdahey hn, wanted to share something i've been working on for a bit.most focus apps like opal are static. they block a list of websites and that’s it. once you start a timer, you’re locked in. can’t quit, can’t delete, can’t reason with it.but real focus isn’t that binary. sometimes i actually need to use youtube or reddit for a task, like watching a physics lecture or checking a solution. blocking everything just doesn't work. also, sometimes "harmless" sites like wikipedia pages or news pages send me into rabbit holes. you can't realistically block every one of these.so i tried to build something that uses the context on your screen to figure out whether you're focused.i set a task (e.g. “studying physics – waves + optics”), describe what i’m doing, and how long i want to focus.then the app uses my browser's context to check if i'm on-task or off-task, based on what i'm doing - not just what site i'm on.if i'm off-task, blocks the site. even after it's blocked, you can explain to it why

Show HN: We started building an AI dev tool but it turned into a Sims-style gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRPnX_f2V_cHi HN! We’re Max and Peyton from The Interface (https://www.theinterface.com/).We started out building an AI agent dev tool, but somewhere along the way it turned into Sims for AI agents.Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRPnX_f2V_c.The original idea was simple: make it easy to create AI agents. We started with Jupyter Notebooks, where each cell could be callable by MCP—so agents could turn them into tools for themselves. It worked well enough that the system became self-improving, churning out content, and acting like a co-pilot that helped you build new agents.But when we stepped back, what we had was these endless walls of text. And even though it worked, honestly, it was just boring. We were also convinced that it would be swallowed up by the next model’s capabilities. We wanted to build something else—something that made AI less of a black box and more engaging. Why type into a chat box all day if you could look your agents in the face, see their confusion, and watch whe

Show HN: Phofee – Photography social platform built with Svelte 5https://phofee.com/Hello everyone! For the past few months I have been working on Phofee, a social platform for sharing high quality photos.The goal: Make a website that allows users to easily upload, share, and discover photos without having to sacrifice quality or mangle their images.Phofee allows users to upload multiple images of varying aspect ratios. All sub images in a single post are displayed in a small photo gallery, so all your photos can be seen at a glance.One of Phofee's unique features is the automatic extraction of photo metadata. When a user uploads a photo, metadata such as Camera Model, Lens, Aperture, ISO, and shutter speed are displayed under your photo. This way, other photographers can gain better insight into your creation process and learn from it.For this project, I took privacy very seriously. - All metadata is deleted from user's photos before posting. - We store minimal user information. - We don't store user passwords (by using Google OAuth). - We don't use Google Analytics.

What features would parents value in an AI storytelling/companion app for kids?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44926032I’m working on a project where kids can talk with AI companions (dragons, wizards, princesses, goblins) whose voices are generated with ElevenLabs. Parents have a control panel where they can manage the characters and upload knowledge. The system can also generate audiobooks, coloring pages, and themed songs, all tied to the stories.Some ideas I’m considering:Calm Castle: a calming, Headspace-like mode for kidsGames Portal: but I’m unsure what kinds of games would make senseI’d love to hear from parents (or others with ideas) about what features would be most valuable.

Show HN: Mapping the Network Behind "The Network State"https://www.evai.ai/en/the-network-stateHi HN,We’ve launched an interactive ER (Entity-Relationship) diagram that maps the ideological and financial networks behind The Network State movement.The visualization explores connections between influential figures—like Balaji Srinivasan, Curtis Yarvin, Peter Thiel, JD Vance, and Andreessen Horowitz—and their roles in shaping post-democratic governance models. It highlights how venture capital, political campaigns, and media ecosystems converge around alternative governance ideologies.We used semantic analysis, network mapping and data visualization techniques to uncover:Funding flows and ideological overlapsInfluence patterns across tech, politics, and mediaCross-border connections between actors advocating for governance alternativesThe goal is to provide a clear, data-backed overview of how this movement is structured and how it propagates. It may be useful for researchers, journalists, and others trying to understand how governance narratives are evolving—particularly outside t

Ask HN: How do you ensure your family can access your digital life if you die?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44888799I've been thinking about this lately. Most of us have dozens of online accounts, digital assets, and important documents scattered across various services. If something happens to me, my family would have no idea how to access my banking and investment accounts, important documents (wills, insurance, etc.).I know password managers exist, but they don't solve the "what accounts do I even have?" problem, and most families don't know how to use them. And I don't want to share access to my accounts right now, only after I am no longer alive.What's your approach? Do you have a system in place, or is this something you've been meaning to figure out but haven't gotten around to?I'm particularly interested in solutions that work for non-technical family members who might be dealing with grief and stress.

Show HN: Raspberry Pi with portable touch monitor with a single USB-C cablehttps://www.getubo.com/post/touch-display-on-raspberry-pi-with-a-single-usb-c-cableRaspberry Pi only exposes HDMI display ports.That means every time I want to connect a monitor to the Pi I have to power my monitor using a separate power adapter.I use portable monitors a lot and wished I could just use one USB-C cable to both power the monitor and send video signals.One of my portable displays also has touch support which works when I connect it to my Macbook.I wanted to also get touch display working with a single USB-C cable setup. This would allow me to put my Home Assistant dashboard on it and control everything with touch.So I embarked on a prototyping journey and got this setup working.I am designing a compact adapter board that will add this capability to Raspberry Pi 4 and 5.I am documenting my design and prototyping journey on my blog and Youtube. This design will be open source with KiCAD files published.

Launch HN: Design Arena (YC S25) – Head-to-head AI benchmark for aestheticshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44878257Hi HN, I’m Grace from Design Arena (https://www.designarena.ai/) - we’re building a crowdsourced benchmark for AI-generated visuals (websites, images, video, and more). We put AI models and builder tools in head-to-head comparisons that get voted on by real users from around the world. Think “Hot or Not” for the AI era :)(Btw, when we say real users we mean real users, so you may get a captcha on the site. Sorry, but we have to use every bot protection available! We only want human ratings, for obvious reasons.)Here’s a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPyEQnuVgeIWe didn’t set out to build this - we were actually working on an AI game engine. But we found that models sucked at look-and-feel. Even when the output code was usually functional, most visual aspects lacked the soul that makes great graphics feel alive.So we built a this-or-that game, just for ourselves, to figure out which generated outputs had the best graphics. To our surprise, that turned out to be more excitin

What's the solution for a smart person with poor executive function?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44819691My life is always on the verge of falling apart. I don't seem to make progress in life. I don't seem to be able to learn from experience or change the things that have held me back in life. I have trouble meeting and forming connections with people. I have trouble with maintaining relationships. Fortunately my parents care for me. Out of the blue my sister estranged herself and her family from me some 3 years ago and despite trying I have not been able mend the rift or even understand its cause. I think she thinks I am a screwed up person. I don't get in trouble and don't intentionally harm people. I live in my head and I am an introverted person. I live independently and I have my own house I inherited from my grand parents. I recently lost my job and have been underemployed and misapplied in the labor market since I graduated college 2009. I can't keep a job longer than about 3 years and can't progress in a career. Most have been far shorter. At work people's opinions of me swing wil
