Show HN: hnsubstacks – Browse only Substacks submitted to HNhttps://hnsubstacks.com/I made an HN clone that lists only Substacks posted here.- Why? Over the years, I've discovered some great blogs here, so I thought it would be nice to have a filter for them.- Why only Substacks then and not blogs more generally? Because it's easy to query for "substack.com" in the public HN Algolia API (see below). Plus, hnblogs was already taken :)- What about substacks on custom domains then? At the bottom of the page there is a form to submit a custom domain. The site attempts to auto-validate that it is a Substack. If that fails, it is marked for manual review (which I'll do every once in a while). Approved ones will be included in the results.- How? I use HN's Algolia API to fetch substack stories by searching for "substack.com" in the url. I do this via a CloudFlare worker that has 3 separate cron triggers: (1) fetches new stories every 10 minutes and saves them in a KV store. (2) runs 2 minutes after the first, computes hot stories from new ones by simulating HN's score algoriJul 7, 2026 2:31 PM

Webb reveals millions of stars in nearby galaxyhttps://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Webb/Webb_reveals_millions_of_stars_in_nearby_galaxyIn new images from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to celebrate its fourth science anniversary, a familiar galaxy transforms into something far richer, and far more complex, than ever seen before. Webb’s unprecedented sensitivity across near- and mid-infrared wavelengths cuts through the thick lanes of dust that obscure Centaurus A’s centre in visible light, showing a densely packed tapestry of individual stars and an active, everchanging galaxy. These images mark four years of better-than-anticipated performance and successful science operations for the most powerful space telescope in history.Jul 6, 2026 4:00 PM

A fleshed-out IPv5 proposalhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48781622Over 30 years after its introduction, IPv6 has still not replaced IPv4. I've seen those "just add more bits to ipv4, call it ipv5" proposals before. They tend to skip the important details and talk past others, but they have a point. After filling in the details over time, I think this actually works, it'd make a serious difference, and it's doable with the current IPv6 header.Background...Let's assume the IPv6 packet format is already sufficiently supported on routers, hosts, etc. That's not the blocker anymore, rather plenty of ISPs, web services like Github, and corporate networks have chosen not to adopt IPv6. Home routers just enable it, but it's nontrivial for services because it's a separate network from v4 in every way, requiring extensive config changes. End result, almost everyone needs a v4, while many use v6 but don't depend on it.IPv6 absolutely needed a new packet format to support >32-bit addrs. But it made more choices beyond that, largest of which was starting with a fJul 4, 2026 12:43 AM
