Ask HN: How to get work as a physical pen tester?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40198103(Throwaway to not associate this with my day job)By day I'm a senior engineer in the UK. By night I have a hobby, which involves a lot of trespassing. In the UK this isn't illegal as a criminal matter and is just a civil matter. The use of entry tools complicates the legality (hence the throwaway) but that's usual when theft and/or damage is the intent, which is never the case.Over the years I feel like I've become quite adept at covert entry and enjoy the process of research and final implementation as much as my hobby.I have a passing interesting in digital security but the physical side is what really gets me going.I know there's still a lot to learn but I feel I have a very good base set of skills. This led me to wondering if it's possible to turn this into a career. I know physical pen testing jobs exist but don't see them advertised.Does anyone here work in this area? Have any advice or contacts I could chat to?Apr 29, 2024 1:31 PM

Show HN: Hoop.dev, Golang server for a web database clienthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40158575Hi HN,I’m Andrios, founder and CEO of Hoopdev, and am excited to show you our web database client with a Go-based language server that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, we’re launching our Free plan and anyone can start using it. It works with any browser.Desktop database clients have always felt clunky to me. After 10 years of programming, I still find myself struggling with basic tasks—like securely configuring access or just trying to pull data from a different device. Every time I'm away from my main setup, it feels like I'm locked out of my own data. These hurdles slow me down and remind me why we need to push for web-based solutions that are not just powerful, but also intuitive and accessible right from the browser.At Hoopdev we are building a Clojurescript client and Golang server that keeps what’s best about database clients while modernizing the experience in the web. We’ve built1) Schema navigation and autocompletion that works with any db 2) Grouped outputs: sApr 25, 2024 3:17 PM

Is a mass increase of surface albedo a viable mitigator of global warming?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40146096I have seen a lot of posts here in regards to new technologies that create renewable energy, sequester carbon dioxide and make current use of energy more efficient.I am not a professional in this field by any means. But I remember learning once that whiter colors reflect more light back to space. It seems like a pretty simple way to help with the cool down. But I am not sure if it's just something that is simply not feasible because of how much of the global surface would need to be altered. I have not seen a lot of research on this.Is this something that is just not worth the effort?Apr 24, 2024 4:10 PM

Show HN: PodBear – A Podcast Search Enginehttps://podbear.netlify.app/Hi all,a few weeks ago I found myself in a situation without anything interesting to listen to. Been through all podcast recommendations from friends and the usual recos from itunes, etc were not cutting it for me. So I build myself a podcast search engine. Based on the data from podcastindex.org and some other available infos.It doesnt (yet) have all available podcasts, only the ones I could find some rating/engagement infos on. But its still around 60k podcasts to discover :)One can search / filter / sort by category, rating, popularity, episodes, language, update date, etc. There is also a very simple full text search that searches through title, description, author, etc.Would love to hear what everybody is thinking! All feedback is welcome!Tech: Postgres + PostgREST backend, Sveltekit frontend.Disclaimer: its still a bit hack-ish currently, so I fully expect things to break somehow :) just post me a note about itHere you go: https://podbear.netlify.app/Apr 22, 2024 9:00 AM
