Did early Unix shells ever use `chd` command to change directories?I've been exploring early Unix systems, particularly *Unix V0 on the PDP-7* and its successor, *Unix V1 on the PDP-11*, using the SIMH emulator.Interestingly, one of the most common modern shell commands, `cd`, did *not* exist in these early versions.- In *Unix V0*, directory changes were done via a shell command called `ch`, used in combination with a special directory called `dd`（directory directory）. For example, to enter Ken's home directory, one would type `ch dd ken`. This seems to reflect that a full hierarchical file structure hadn't been implemented yet. I've verified this behavior in the SIMH emulator.- In *Unix V1*, the method becomes more familiar: you use `chdir /usr/ken`, though still *not* `cd`. This is also verified on SIMH. Dennis Ritchie mentioned in _"The Evolution of the Unix Time-sharing System"_:> "Incidentally, _chdir_ was spelled _ch_; why this was expanded when we went to the PDP-11 I don't remember."Now here's where it gets curious:While reading the [Unix V0 s

Show HN: Sohri – Turn short stories into binge-able audio episodesHey HN, I love creating, and I've been fascinated by AI audio tools. But as a creator, trying to actually use them felt like a trap.First, wrestling with raw TTS APIs to create something that doesn't sound like a robot reading a phone book is an art form in itself. It takes forever to get the pacing and tone right.Second, and this was the real deal-breaker: even if you create a masterpiece, platforms like YouTube feel like they're just waiting to demonetize you or slap a restriction on your work because it's "AI-generated." It feels like you're building on someone else's land, and they can change the rules overnight. It's soul-crushing.I wanted a sanctuary for audio creators. A place that’s more like a recording studio in your pocket than a frustrating API wrapper. A platform where you can focus on your story, not on fighting the tools or the distribution algorithm.So, I built Sohri (https://sohri.ai). Sohri is designed to turn your short stories into polished, binge-able audio episode

I may be beyond redemptionI am ashamed to even type all of this...again. I have had a few rants before on HN and reddit.It seems like I cannot improve or get better at all, I have been stuck literally doing nothing for a decade, like literally, I am not even kidding.My parents are great people, great is an understatement, I had a great upbringing, hard work and academics was always emphasized. I didn't do shit though, just daydreamed about it.I have been interested in tech for a looong time but I would just read about it, daydream about using it for awesome purposes, maybe try to learn it a bit and it would seem too hard and I would think, "eh I will start tomorrow" and go consume something that provided instant gratification. Years literally passed, and that never happened. I got through middle and high school because my parents literally dragged me through it, got a degree from a degree mill, again because of my parents all this while daydreaming and deep in delusions about how I was gonna learn a lot and get

Show HN: EndBOX DIY Kit – A Basic MicrocomputerHello all!A month ago, I announced of a "little box" I've been working on to run EndBASIC, similar to the machines we played with in the 1980s. The box was briefly discussed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44253065 and I wasn't quite ready to properly launch it.Today, I'm still not ready to actually build and ship this box myself as I was previously thinking (and I'm not sure I'll even try to embark on that journey!), but I have finished preparing DIY instructions to build your own little machine.AND, as part of this, I've released the disk image with the tailored OS for the Raspberry Pi to run a BASIC system right at boot. In case you are curious, the OS is, essentially, a minimal NetBSD system customized with a build of the EndBASIC interpreter that leverages NetBSD APIs directly, bypassing the need for X11 to offer you a console very early in the boot.Links for the downloads in the instructions page!Hope you enjoy it.

Show HN: ByteWise Search a Privacy, Zero-Traffic, Community-Driven Search EngineHey HN, I'm excited to share ByteWise Search, an innovative open-source search engine I've been building. Unlike traditional search engines, ByteWise is designed to be entirely client-side, running directly in your browser. This means it offers unparalleled privacy, blazing speed, and near-zero traffic consumption for search queries.

Show HN: Downalytics – Track OSS binary downloads via custom domainsHi HN,I’ve been working on Downalytics (https://www.downalytics.dev), a lightweight tool that helps open-source maintainers and small projects track binary downloads from GitHub releases. You route downloads through a generated or custom domain (via CNAME), and I log metadata like version, arch, OS, and country (where available). Think of it like a minimal redirector with analytics.It’s aimed at projects that publish binaries (e.g., via CLI tools), and want to understand which versions are being used, and where adoption is happening, without needing to host their own infra.Current features: GitHub OAuth to connect repos Tracked download URLs via CNAME or generated subdomain Basic dashboard with counts by version, platform, etc. Free OSS tier, small paid tier for custom domains/more projects A few things I’d love feedback on: Is this something you (or your project) would use? Would you be comfortable routing downloads through a third-party like this? Any blockers that would make you hes

Show HN: Typeform was too expensive so I built my own formsHey HN,I'm a solopreneur and run a web design agency.I create open-source apps, but I also work as a freelancer and designer. I was accepting any new freelance project via forms on my agency website.I was using Typeform, but as time went by and more people submitted forms, it got more and more expensive. That time, I thought to use Google Form, but it was way too blocky and looked very unprofessional on my agency website.So I thought to build my own forms for my own usage, and it turns out it almost doubled form submissions and inquiry calls.I was happy, so I thought to build it for everyone and make it open-source.I added AI functionalities using Vercel AISDK. I can generate forms almost instantly using AI and also added analytics AI so that users can talk with their forms—more like talk with their analytics data.I've been building this publicly, sharing updates on my X account (preetsuthar17)I hope this product will be as helpful to you as it was for me. Would love your feedback plsP
