Show HN: PMG, open source package firewallhttps://github.com/safedep/pmgHi HNI am the founder of SafeDep. We have been detecting malicious packages for a while. Coming from DevSecOps background, I always considered malicious package detection & protection to be a build stage problem. But I was wrong since the S1ngularity and early Shai-Hulud days.In 2026, we pretty much started worrying more about our own dev machines than CI/CD environment. Depending only on threat intelligence data (OSV / SafeDep / Socket / any other source) to protect our own dev machines did not feel right. We wanted to build a multi-layered protection that can get 100% visibility of OSS packages coming in, and can protect against known and “hopefully” unknown threats. That’s how Package Manager Guard (PMG) started. Core idea was simple:- Start a local proxy (localhost)- Make sure supported package managers like npm, pnpm, pip etc. goes through it- Use threat intelligence data to fail fast on known malicious packages- Apply policies like dependency cooldown as additional guardrails- AdJul 21, 2026 4:58 PM

Router ARP/NAT contradict after reload. Client ghost or firmware bug?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48942957I have a Keenetic Extra DSL router. I configured a static DHCP reservation so that my ESP32-W5500 device (MAC: de:ad:be:ef:fe:01) always receives 192.168.1.114. There's a MAC-based port forwarding rule for port 80, and a defined [subdomain].keenetic.pro points to this device as well.After a soft-restart, port forwarding silently breaks for WAN traffic. The rule appears active in the panel, but incoming connections from the outside just time out.This has recurred consistently across multiple soft-reload events over several months, with a different "ghost" IP each time (.100, .101, .102).From the local network, however, I can always reach the client on its assigned static IP (.114) without any interruption. And here's the kicker: if I simply disable and re-enable the port forwarding rule from the router's interface, the problem vanishes instantly and external WAN access comes right back.The weird part: during an outage, when I look at the router's own diagnostic tools, the ARP table and Jul 17, 2026 3:06 AM

Show HN: Mojave Paint for macOS, edit images like it's 1999https://mojavepaint.app/We all need a swiss army knife for images. A tool for really getting in there and dealing with the pixels precisely. You might be combining images into a sprite sheet, you might be matting images to squares, cutting out solid backgrounds, re-tinting graphical elements. For a website, a video game, for an app.There's a million photo editors, there's a million design tools, and Mojave Paint can do those things in varying degrees but "graphical asset production" is its first and primary mission.It's cheap! $9.99 (one-time, sad I even have to say that) for the "Pro" version. It's Mac-only, and Apple Silicon Mac at that. Does it look a little like Photoshop 5.5 from the year 1999? Maybe a little but also it's got plenty of its own original ideas. (Blog post on that is forthcoming…)I've always been passionate about image editing tools for the technically-minded so I'm throwing my hat in the ring in that space. And sure GIMP is for the technically-minded but boy is it ugly on the Mac!Jul 10, 2026 12:29 PM

Ask HN: What surprised you about Estonia e-Residency and running an Estonian OÜ?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48673801From the official information online, joining the e-Residency program and setting up an Estonian company seems relatively straightforward.I'm considering using an Estonian OÜ for a SaaS business and would love to hear from people who have actually gone through the process.What surprised you after becoming an e-resident and establishing your company? Were there recurring costs, compliance requirements, banking/payment issues, tax complications, or other operational challenges you didn't anticipate?How easy has it been to run the company remotely? Have you ever needed to travel to Estonia to resolve an issue?Looking back, would you do it again? What do you wish you had known before getting started?I'd appreciate any lessons learned, gotchas, or advice from current or former e-residents.Jun 25, 2026 2:17 PM

Show HN: Quickish – Instant HTML Hostinghttps://quickish.websiteAs Claude and ChatGPT has gotten better, I've found myself enjoying using Co-Work to make presentations at work. Sharing the HTML files on Slack and elsewhere was cumbersome and trying to host it somewhere public (even if unlisted) wasn't much of an option for my work stuff.Then I saw Shopify's blog post about Quick (https://shopify.engineering/quick), an internal intranet with simple HTML page hosting and was inspired. I wasn't sure I could get buy-in to host it at my day job so I spent my own time coming up with Quickish. Now I can share all my beautiful presentations.Originally I wanted it to be tied to Google Drive / Workspaces, you share the folder with quickish and put your HTML in, quickish hosts it while respecting the privacy of the folder (workspace only, etc). However, as I worked through building I realized I could make it easier to use and add that part in. Actually, it already works behind the scenes I just need to get the app verified.And now, you have what you see. EverJun 15, 2026 5:09 PM
