Alternative to Internet Archivehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49309061Now; i use the archive to archive my prolithic output of music. (i have over 300 albums.) The music is of my own creation.Since the DDoS attack of 2024; Archive has been a hit or miss on the uploading factors. And many of my releases have specific dates for release. With the uncertainty of the uploads happening it causes me to break focus on working with music and watch the upload to make sure there isn't a 503 happening each file. (which sometimes happens frequently.)I am in search of a similar uploading process with an unlimited amount of uploads. I don't want to make money off of my music. I don't want to individually input over 2000 songs; including their metadata and other factors.Many sites that we both have heard of; have various limitations or are not privacy friendly platforms ran by a company that seeks to be Big Brother from 1984 and watch us in a Brave New World.I would simply P2P my music on nicotine+ or even have a server for my music.The only thing stoping me on P2P my mAug 15, 2026 9:23 AM

Wayland, Pipewire, Open Source Slowly Closing?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49308990I am kinda depressed over these factors. I have used linux since 2015 and really never ran into problems until the past five years.I am a composer with a prolithic output; and had a steady workflow for most of the years until musegroup bought out audacity and musescore. (which i have been able to get musescore 2 in a few distros; as i prefer this over any of the post-musegroup alterations.)the same goes for audacity; prior to their changes it worked... everything flowed beautifully; and boom so many issues occured. (they still do...) since then i started using Tenacity's appimage and have some similar workflow issues due to it being a copy of post changes instead of pre-changes... (2.4.2)I went from debian to mint; due to the fact that debian wouldn't install on a new nvidia laptop. (and couldn't figure out why due to search being enshitified. or i just don't know how to search)After this; i learned about pipewire and wayland... which are implimented poorly in Mint (XFCE)Wayland has beAug 15, 2026 9:05 AM

Show HN: Homelander – free desktop app that applies for apartments in Germanyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udNWQz3WNBII built Homelander because searching for apartments in Germany was taking too much time.It collects listings from multiple searches on ImmoScout24 and applies for you. I decided to build it because alternatives were either too techy or too expensive (like 100 euros per months).I originally built it for myself, then released it as a free and open-source desktop app. The first release got much more attention than I expected, and the project is now at 92 GitHub stars.It currently supports Mac, Windows and Ubuntu Linux.GitHub: https://github.com/B1Z0N/homelanderI'd be interested in feedback, especially on the UX side and on what would make it more useful for apartment hunters.Disclosure: as you can see I used AI to make it faster, and for UI, since I am bad at it. But I spent a shitton of time on UX.PS: I heard some people found apartments using this app, but I must warn - this is a portfolio project and goes against the usage guidelines of IS24.Aug 15, 2026 8:10 AM

Show HN: Riffn. An instant voice link with your AI agents and local modelshttps://riffn.io/how-riffn-works/I get my best ideas when I'm out walking or driving. I built Riffn to make sure I can capitalize on those ideas when and where they happen - while I'm away from my desk, usually outside. I used to use voice recording a lot. So I built Riffn to replace that with a direct voice link to any model or agent I wanted to talk to when my hands and eyes were busy. This lets me develop ideas and keep pushing forward on my apps and other projects when I'm out and about.Riffn is an iOS app that gives you a voice link to your coding agents or locally-installed LLMs. I built a small, open-source bridge that links Riffn to agents and models running on your own machine over Tailscale. Installing the bridge is just one npx command and QR pairing. Give each agent a name, then switch freely between agents with a 3-word command. Click 'Start Riffn', pop in an earbud, lock the phone, put it in your pocket, and start talking. I like to use it for slow thinking - you can leave it active in the background, reAug 15, 2026 6:05 AM
