Thinking: Alternate Distribution for Filmmakershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48931604This idea did not in anyway start with the intention of distribution. In my 20s there were a group of 12 of us, who shared a whatsapp group and every thursday, we had a standing appointment to decide and watch the interesting movie for the week.Over the years as life happens and folks got married, moved, priorities shifted, that ritual that almost lasted a decade fell apart.During the pandemic, given that most of us had a VR headset, we reconnected and started watching movies together - we'd setup a shared stream and would have a google chat going on the side, so that we can hear each other while the movie played.VR has been surprisingly good to recreate that theatrical atmosphere - but the worst bit is sitting in a virtual cinema as the only person. Dimming the lights out (within the virtual environment so that you don't see the empty chairs) and having a video call where we can hear each other on one of the ears, kinda felt a bit like the gang was back together.Even if it hasn't beenJul 16, 2026 8:06 AM

Curiosity Finds Evidence of an Ancient Sandstormhttps://science.nasa.gov/photojournal/curiosity-finds-evidence-of-an-ancient-sandstorm/Description Billions of years ago, an hours-long Martian sandstorm blew so intensely that sand ripples began to climb upon one another as they moved across the surface. These layers of sediment eventually hardened into the multilayered rocks seen in this image, which was taken by NASA’s Curiosity rover on Dec. 12, 2024, the 4,391st Martian […]Jul 15, 2026 6:16 PM

Show HN: Running server scripts from smartphone via SSHhttps://c100k.eu/p/rebootx/updates/20260714-remote-runbooksI've added Remote Runbooks to RebootX, a mobile app for managing cloud and on-prem infrastructure, available on iOS and Android (freemium).The idea is simple: when PagerDuty wakes you up, many incidents boil down to executing the same sequence of SSH commands or operational steps. Instead of opening a laptop, you can execute a predefined runbook directly from your phone.Very usefyl when you're on the go.The scripts are retrieved from the server at `/usr/local/sbin/rebootx/runbooks`, also via SSH. If a script is prefixed with `__` (2 underscores), it's considered dangerous and the app warns you about it and ask for confirmation before executing it.Some will argue that with the perfect infra, you don't have to do all of this. By experience, none of us have the perfect infra so SSH-ing into the server (e.g VPS) is often required.Happy to hear about your feedback or ideas of improvement.Jul 15, 2026 1:30 PM

Show HN: Webround - an API-first e-commerce platformhttps://webround.com/enHi, I'm Luca, from Italy and I've spent the last two years building Webround: an API-first e-commerce platform. It started as a different project because I wanted to make my portfolio website editable without writing code and keeping the freedom to build any layout. But, while doing so, things evolved and the idea of making it a Headless platform for e-commerces started growing. That's when I went all-in and fired myself from my previous job and spent countless hours building (and re-building) it. You have a lot of freedom here: - You can no-code your website with the drag & drop editor and host it. - You can build custom React components in the very same editor, straight from the browser, installing any NPM package and using Tailwind. You also have access to an integrated SDK for e-commerce functions (like cart management, user auth sessions, checkout start, etc.) - You can leverage the public APIs documented at https://docs.webround.com to build virtually anything: integrations, custJul 15, 2026 8:59 AM

Show HN: I MitM'd Plex to make remote streaming suck lesshttps://github.com/inhumantsar/plex-proxy/I've been hoarding media for a long time. Longer than I care to think about honestly. At this point the collection is large enough that several of the friends and family members I've shared my Plex server with have cancelled their streaming service subscriptions.After getting laid off a while back, I started working on a degree online. It seemed like a good opportunity to spend some time traveling too, so I signed up for Starlink and got a friend to host my Plex server in his basement for the duration. Surely that would be good enough to watch whatever from where-ever.Turns out that no, it's not. Plex really doesn't like streaming over Starlink. It would top out at 8-9mbps in good conditions, often dropping down to 2 or 3, while other streams and downloads would happily hum along at 100mbps+.I spent a little time looking into the issue early on. None of the remote or server network changes I could think of made a noticable difference. Customizing Plex's internal MPV configuration to inJul 14, 2026 12:25 AM

Show HN: Finterm.ai Bloomberg terminal for Claude Codehttps://finterm.ai/Hi, my name is Kam, and today my cofounder Josh and I are shipping Finterm, a CLI that gives coding agents direct access to financial data: stock prices, options data, SEC filings, and Ticker Deep Research, a filtered ticker news search. I’m a developer and have been a full-time trader for the past few years.Recently I have been using LLMs more and more in my trading and strategy. I always found it frustrating that Claude Code or GPT did not have direct access to actual financial information and had to rely on web search, so it couldn’t get me more granular numbers for specific options pricing.When making a trade I want to understand as much as possible about the stock. Instead of relying on analysts or interpretations of the data, I like to go directly to the truth. So whenever I have a trade thesis, I break research into a few parts: company research, analyst sentiment, and market sentiment.Last September I had a short thesis on Popmart Labubu's parent company.
