Ask HN: Looking for testers for my RAM-based Linux distributionhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49102865Hi,I have been working on a project called Invelinux for quite some time now, and now that I have released the release candidate versions, I thought about posting it on Hacker News for people to try it out.The thing that makes it stand out is its use of the Toybox userspace project, a BSD-licensed alternative to Busybox and musl C library instead of the GNU C library. It also features a very minimal framework called AMPS (Automatically Mounted Packaging System) which mounts an external drive that functions as the non-volatile storage part of the OS. System configurations, applications/scripts etc. are all stored inside the /storage/AMPS directory. Since the base system is running on RAM, when the system is rebooted, the whole system gets wiped clean. But the external storage and configurations stay intact, allowing you to load your configurations easily.To access and edit these configurations, several custom TUI tools were made so the user doesn't have to mess around in /storage/AMPS/eJul 29, 2026 8:47 PM

Ask HN: Which Jabber clients support SCRAM+ and XEP-0474?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49102863Related to this thread [1] which Jabber clients not only detect MitM tampering when a valid cert is used in the middle but is not the cert on the server, meaning an entity obtained a certificate, used it to MitM the connection and the client not only rejects this alternate valid certificate but also alerts the user to the MitM. XEP-0474 SASL SCRAM Downgrade Protection (Experimental) [2] Claude does not seem to know and I can't find any clarifying documentation, just lots of open issues.The purpose is for writing an article on E2EE but I want to suggest clients that will alert on MitM tampering in a manor the person using the client can not accidentally ignore it. i.e. just click through a warningOn the server side eJabberd and Prosody appear to be the only server daemons supporting XEP-0474 but I just can't find a definitive list of supported clients even if they are in the experimental phase. they may support SCRAM+ but do not alert on tampering using a valid cert.I am not interested Jul 29, 2026 8:47 PM

Show HN: Nurb – Agentic CAD for 3D printinghttps://github.com/Shpigford/nurbI've had a love/hate relationship with Fusion over the years. I can model stuff there but it's just always slow and painful and Fusion has a deep desire to crash on me.I started dabbling with the Fusion MCP a couple of months ago and found that to be a much more pleasant way to interact with it. But then I realized I was just using Fusion as a rendering engine, which was terribly overkill.So I built Nurb.You just describe what you want ("Make an adapter that connects my shop vac hose to the dust port on my table saw") and it asks for clarification, does web searches for part measurements/details and then generates an interactive viewer as well as optimized STL files to print.The whole system hangs on the convention that a part is a function, and its keyword defaults are its parameters. That concept drives the CLI, the viewer’s sliders, the tests, and the agent’s interface. There’s no schema, no project file, no init step. A project is any directory with a parts/ folder.Under the hood iJul 29, 2026 7:46 PM

Passport renewal, car registration, kid's doc appt, why you started going to the gym in the first place. You text yourself reminders on the go or dump it in your notes app and never look again.Solution:Faro. Text it what you need to do, and every morning it texts you the list of what's still open.Why it works:1. It texts you every morning. Not a one-time notification, not a note you never open. Stays top of mind.2. Done with something? Just tell it. No editing notes, no re-texting yourself a new list.3. Zero friction. No calendar menus, no alarm settings. You remember something on the go, you text it, done.4. Reminds with context! One user prepping a conference talk doesn't just get nagged, Faro reminds her who's in that room waiting to get value from it.Try it today (or just text it lmao, that's the whole onboarding): "hey faro" to +1 (646) 879-0459 or check out: https://www.justtextfaro.com/Jul 29, 2026 7:19 PM

Ask HN: What have you been curious about?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49101448If you are anything like me, you will have about five answers at any given point in time for "What are you curious about?".Arguably, a more interesting, revealing, and kinder question is; "What have you been curious about?".I feel a looking-back-to-curiosity exercise has power to shed light on where to look ahead (and why to do it). More so, I feel it has power to grant permission to that "insatiably curious thirteen year old self" to step out and play. Because it probably already has been up to something, while your attention was elsewhere.So, here is a prompt (see what I just did there? ;-))Um... Except for LLM stuff, if you please. Just for this thread. Because these days the plurality of HN discussion appears to be about the curiosities of LLMs.(cf.

Show HN: CheapFoodMap – A map of good meals under $10https://cheapfoodmap.com/I was recently laid off after 18 years, and gave myself 100 days to build soething useful in public. CheapFoodMap is a crowdsourced map of meal under $10, excluding franchises, local good eats only.It's inspried by 거지맵 (Begger's Map) a Korean crowdsourced map students use to find cheap eats.Ocverage is heaviest in Texas, since I live in Dallas, but have 1200 meals across 15 US cities. Seed data came from Google Review, 4.2 star or higher with at least 500 reviews, and verified price under $10 per menu item.Things I would love feedback on : whether the price-freshness model makes sense, and what would make you trust the price on a site like this. How to encourage people to update prices, since inflation is making food price very frequent.https://cheapfoodmap.comAny and all suggestion will be super helpful. Thank you!Jul 29, 2026 4:59 PM

Show HN: MandoCode Desktop – Native Windows AI Coding Assistant on Ollama .NEThttps://github.com/DevMando/MandoCode.DesktopQuick backstory on how this version came to be: the original MandoCode is a CLI, and its UI is built with RazorConsole — Blazor components rendered into a terminal. Genuinely clever tech! I wanted tabs, though, and when I attended MS Build this year I got a good look at what WinUI apps could do and saw the potential to give the original agent some actual windows and tabs. Having up to 4 agents running in one window is pretty cool. Aside from that — tabs! I feel like everything is a chat these days, and for some reason my brain keeps screaming AGENTS, not chats, at me. I love the tabbed-browser experience a lot moreSome of the stuff I got to toy with once the plumbing worked:- Context snapshots — closing an agent archives the conversation instead of deleting it, and you can snapshot mid-conversation to get an AI-written recap you can hand to a different model or a fresh agent and have it pick up the thread. You pick the LLM from a dropdown right when you create the snapshot.- TranscriptJul 29, 2026 4:48 PM

Show HN: Energy, carbon and water estimates for AI content, shown as rangeshttps://aicontentfootprint.com/Hi HN,I built this calculator because I noticed it's easy to know how much a LLM costs per token, but it's extremely difficult to know it's carbon footprint or power consumption. I created this as a reference based on some published papers and public information, and it helps to have a guide of the impact of photo and video generation using AI.I also added another factor about Token utilization, it's something that becomes important as the newer models start to use "thinking" modes to reach a conclusion. There is information up to earlier this year, so it's not possible to see the efficiency of newer models like OpenAI Sol or Kimi K3.All the calculator does is to provide estimations and translate them in ordinary figures so people can understand it. There is no login required or any other type of paywall.About the models, it's easier to make estimates for Open Source models (of course) so there's more confidence on that data. For the closed ones, there are estimations based on public aJul 29, 2026 4:29 PM

Show HN: Kedge – Full-stack cloud with forkable VM snapshots and global SQLitehttps://kedge.dev/I'm building Kedge, a globally distributed platform for stateful serverless apps. Here's how you make a simple static site: `echo '# Hello world!' | ssh kedge.dev`I helped build Fly.io for 4 years and shared enthusiasm for the founders' vision of a 'global Heroku'. While there, I wrote "The Serverless Server" (https://fly.io/blog/the-serverless-server/) as a study of Lambda and a sketch of a modern serverless product built around lightweight VMs. That essay was the initial inspiration for Kedge.Kedge has a fast VM orchestrator that can create code sandboxes or scale service instances in 3ms, using a combination of forkable VM snapshots and a tree of warm pools (Linux kernel -> base runtime -> app). VMs are memory-dense thanks to shared copy-on-write memory pages. You can run lightweight CGI-style functions, public OCI images, or source code for BuildKit to compile and deploy.Kedge's global control plane sits on an eventually-consistent SQLite database.
