Show HN: IPN – Instant notifications for blockchain-based eventshttps://ipn.tools/enHey HN, this is Artyom. My team has been working on this crypto notifications service just about a year now. We want to add a missing layer of notifications about events from web3 to web2. We seek and trigger - you process, enjoy!There are multiple services providing similar functionality, we just want to simplify user experience and build a service that just works in a comfortable way for developers.Why we’ve built service:- prices of hosting own nodes are high(you have to spend money to manage them too)- RPCs have limits and are not stable enough- integration of web3 events in a legacy way is pretty complex especially when you develop many blockchain-based apps- there is no service with one-window support of evm-based and tvm networks using api, websocket, webhooks and telegramPayments for notifications of blockchain-based events isn’t a new concept, we offer a service with multiple networks(EVM-based and Tron), all you need - configure event parameters and channel(webhook, websocketMay 20, 2024 8:45 AM

Show HN: I wrote a book on Kamal, deployment tool that's coming to Rails 8https://kamalmanual.com/handbook/Hi fellow readers of HN,Josef here again[0] with another book :). This time about Kamal.= BackgroundWhen 37signals released their new deployment tool Kamal[1], I was intrigued since it fits well with my 'keep it simple' deployment philosophy.I slowly adopted the tool and today I deploy all new projects with Kamal.However, I have seen people giving it a go and giving up, because the initial documentation was not enough.So I sat down for a few weeks and wrote Kamal Handbook, the missing manual to Kamal.= What's Kamal?Kamal is an imperative deployment tool. It's basically a successor to Capistrano, but for a container era. It's a simple wrapper around Docker and that's the whole beauty of it.37signals created Kamal to self-host Basecamp and Hey as part of their pull out of the cloud (running managed K8s).It's expected to become a default gem for 'rails new' in Rails 8.= Kamal HandbookKamal Handbook[2] is a short and to-the-point book on Kamal.

Op-Ed: The Load Bearing Rocket, A Falcon 9 Analysishttps://www.spacescout.info/2024/01/load-bearing-rocket/While NASA and its international partners look to the Moon and beyond under the Artemis Program, the mid to late 2020s will see a dramatic shift to the landscape of Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The International Space Station, which has served as the hub of human space exploration for 25 years, is going to be retired. The precise timing of the ISS’ retirement has become somewhat dubious recently; different involved parties have differing opinions on how long the station can be made to last, but one thing remains clear: the future of LEO stations will be commercial in nature. Under the Commercial LEO Destinations program at least two privately operated space stations will be in place by the time the ISS is deorbited, assuming all goes to plan. Privately developed, launched, and assembled space stations will be maintained by privately operated crew and cargo spacecraft, a dramatic shift from the landscape the ISS was born from. The emergence of private space stations remains a part of years yeJan 29, 2024 4:30 PM

Ask HN: What is your experience of tamper proof systems?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38878579A theme in the Post Office (Horizon) scandal is that Fujitsu could amend completed till records after the fact.From hard copy printouts (receipt rolls?) to cryptography (blockchains), there are technical means to repudiate and reduce risk of amendment.I'm curious what experiences we've had with them and which ones we should using in retail systems?I'm also curious how if a privileged user did amend a database, even with an audit log of changes; whether it is likely that a user (lawyer, accountant, manager) would also be alerted to that in their interface.In paper based accounting, I believe event logs weren't really a thing. The users (accountants) knew the audit history from the records themselves and hopefully today still do: - transaction records was having records for each stage (order, invoice, payment advice, sales receipt, journal entry, credit note, etc) - completeness of records was numbered books, pages, lines - irreversible records was ink pen and stamps - verifiable was entJan 5, 2024 12:54 PM
