A 1989 Unix finger protocol prank at UW-Milwaukeehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49121204In 1989, as a CS undergrad at UW-Milwaukee, I had access to a graduate Unix lab. One afternoon, the grad students discovered they could scan the network for users who had accidentally left their .plan files world-writable. For the uninitiated, the finger command let you see who was logged in, and it displayed their local .plan file. Because default security permissions were incredibly relaxed back then, you could sometimes write directly to someone else's file. The grad students wrote a script to append a snarky message mocking the users' permissions: "I AM FAR MOR THAN AN IGNORANT MORON..." Later that night, the lab cleared out. Left to my own devices, curiosity got the better of me. I ran a similar scan to see if any open files were left. I found one, and the user’s login name immediately caught my eye: "beaver". The temptation was simply too great. I opened their file and wrote the only logical sentence:"If you are reading this, then you are fingering the beaver!" After literally faJul 31, 2026 10:05 AM

Show HN: One page personal calendar with hierarchyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49119723Hello everyone! actions.life is a one page personal calendar. Unlike traditional to-do lists, which divide information into many pages, this app uses hierarchy to fit everything* on one page.The UI is designed to be predictable, like a physical desk with moveable objects, so nothing gets forgotten. The limitation from this physical design helps with focus and restraint: unlike knowledge bases, which are vast and interconnected, “action bases” should be constraint and scoped, for encouraging action.It complements apps like Notion and Google Calendar, and works for mobile and desktop on iOS 26+ and Chrome.I hope you can give it a shot and become my user! I will fix things and improve things (I've been full-time since 2024).https://beta.actions.lifeJul 31, 2026 6:33 AM

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

Show HN: Experiments with Weather Datahttps://strataweather.com/mapI had been wanting to try experimenting with nowcasting since the death of Dark Sky and finally got around to it. This application essentially became a playground for me to experiment with various weather datasets and geospatial visualizations.Some interesting concepts that came from it:The nowcast is using pySTEPS optical flow under the hood: https://pysteps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/auto_examples/plot_.... This library is super cool. It bugged me that every radar visualization just gave you choppy snapshots in time, so I spent some time working on building a smooth interpolation. The backend passes keyframes along with motion data from the optical flow analysis and then has a custom WebGL shader to do the interpolation which lets you scrub the timeline and have a smooth interpolation.The other forecast tiles and the main weather page are using the average of many different weather models. You can see every model that factors in on the models page: https://strataweather.com/models. ThiJul 29, 2026 11:52 AM
