Show HN: Test your WireGuard connectivity and see global stats, no client neededhttps://probe.shHi HN,Some misbehaving networks drop WireGuard packets either by accident or on purpose. Commonly the latter is done with simple DPI rules that block the handshake initiation [1], but it could be applied to other message types as well.We thought it would be great if there was tool for folks to use as a quick litmus test to see if this happening for them, without having to configure a client to send data through a random, functional WireGuard tunnel to an untrusted remote host. So we built probe.sh.How it works:- The probe.sh web app is an Elixir Phoenix app that spawns a few gen_udp servers across a variety of common UDP ports. - When a user visits the app, Probe starts a LiveView process and generates a unique cryptographic token to use for the test. - When the user runs the script shown, it first sends an HTTP request to start the test, followed by a series of UDP payloads, and finally either a complete or cancel request to end the test. - The UDP payloads are crafted to resemble reaAug 9, 2024 8:27 PM

Please verify your phone numberhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41127564Hi all, I'm sharing my story to get some feedback since I have exhausted all of my other ideas, options, leads everything.I am at my wits end.Recently I have had to create a google account for work, one of the things my company does is develop apps for our clients. Usually, we do this using the client's Google Play account. This client, however required us to publish it directly. No problem, I thought, just create a Google Play account like I have so many times before.How wrong I was...The problems started immediately, first I tried to create a Google Play Console account. Simple enough process, Google now requires you to add a 2fa phone number to your account. Ok, I thought, I'll use my personal phone. Strangely I got an error, "cannot send SMS to this number, please try another number from another provider". For reference, we live and work in Slovenia.In the coming days I tried:- 2 landline numbers - >8 phone numbers from all major Slovenian telecom providers, including brand new SIMAug 1, 2024 9:58 AM

Ask HN: How to find job as Maths graduate with little other qualifications?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41102378I apologize if this question is to open-ended or otherwise inappropriate to the “Ask HN” format.I’m a student of Mathematics in Germany, at the very end of my Master’s (thesis submitted & defended, awaiting gradation) but have not managed to secure any job offer up till now, in spite of having tried for quite some time now. At this point I feel somewhat at a loss, so I was hoping that anybody on here knowledgeable about the job market in Germany would perhaps have an idea as to what (if anything) I might be doing wrong or what other avenues I could consider that I’ve missed so far.My main problem is likely that I have almost nothing to show in the way of “hard” skills and practical qualification besides the Maths degree. I did work part-time for most of my studies, but mostly stuff like generic office work or watching kids at an after-school care.When my graduation neared, I first thought hat it might be possible to find a job in an industrial context (e.g. in Automotive/Aviation, PharJul 29, 2024 6:03 PM

Show HN: Mutable.ai Codebase chat that uses a Wiki for RAGhttps://wiki.mutable.ai/Dao-AILab/flash-attentionHi HN!We wanted to introduce our codebase chat that uses a wiki of your repo to do retrieval instead of traditional vector or keyword RAG.We have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of responses. We think creating a language knowledge base for LLMs to do RAG is the future. The way this works is we first write a Wikipedia style article on your codebase complete with diagrams and citations to your code.We’ve run it on some of the most popular repos. If you want us to run in an open source repo please comment below. You can also run it on private repos and the permissions will follow those of the repository on GitHub. The wikis auto update via a GitHub bot and even show you previews of the new wikis in a diff view.Please check it out and let us know your thoughts.Thank you!

Show HN: I built a Jeopardy game maker with buzzer supporthttps://buzzinga.io/Sometime in early 2022, my wife and I started watching Jeopardy! regularly, almost by accident. Inspired, I thought it would be fun to create and host my own games with family and friends.By September 2022, I debuted Buzzinga at a family reunion. Back then, it was just a website running locally on my MacBook.

Show HN: Daminik – An Open source digital asset managerhttps://daminik.comHey guys! We just published our little open source project on GitHub and would love to get some feedback. It's a very early release (alpha) but we thought it would be better to do it earlier so that we could get direct feedback.Over the last 10 years we have built small to large web-projects of all kind. Almost every project involved managing images and files in one way or another. How do we manage our images and where? What happens if an image or logo changes, does it get updated across all sites? Which Host/CDN to choose? Is everything we do GDPR-compliant? With Daminik, we are trying to build a simple solution to solve these problems. One DAM with an integrated CDN. That’s it.You can check it out at: https://daminik.com/?ref=hackernews (hackernews being the invitation code)Repo: https://github.com/daminikhq/daminikWe would love to get your guys feedback on our alpha.Jul 12, 2024 9:06 AM

Show HN: A web app to track your grocery expenses and nutritionhttps://www.5outapp.com/Hello HN,I've been working on a tool during the weekend to help make cheaper and healthier grocery choices. Currently, it only gives me simple stats on my grocery bill and some general comments on how you can improve your shopping next time. (No signup/email needed.)I believe that healthy food is something cooked in your kitchen, but it also takes a lot of time.So, I started by building an Airbnb-like platform where people can find local cooks (not just experienced chefs) to do meal prep in their homes. After working 9 months on it, I realized it was hard to get people on the platform. So, I thought I should build something people can use for free to create some awareness around it.As usual, I have many features in mind that I would like to implement, but I would love to hear some feedback. I have 3 friends using it regularly, but it might still break. If you care, please try it out, sign up or hit me up on X.Thanks, AmanJul 3, 2024 11:33 AM

NFTroxies: Combining Gold Investments with Blockchain Technologyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40676429Hey HN,I've been working on an innovative project called NFTroxies, which combines the traditional security of gold investments with the advantages of blockchain technology. NFTroxies are digital representations of gold bars, allowing investors to prove ownership of their gold assets digitally and use these proxies instead of the actual gold. Each NFTroxie is backed 1 for 1 by a real gold bar, ensuring authenticity and preventing counterfeiting.I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this intersection of physical assets and digital technology. Do you see a future for such hybrid investment models? What challenges and opportunities do you think lie ahead for integrating blockchain with traditional investment assets like gold?Learn more about NFTroxies at: https://zora.co/@nftroxiesLooking forward to the discussion!Joseph D.

Ask HN: Before launch – everybody says "dont connect the trading engine" – why?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40552021Hi HN Community,during the last couple of weeks i spend a lot of time on building a fully automated trading engine. Some kind of "disclaimer": im now in the financial space since ~13 years, working for startups, creating new banks and working for them.While i'm not an "equity guy", i thought there should be some potential when playing around with some of the data feeds: it should be possible to build a fully automated bot, which is just a simple trend-following model and the system should just jump on running trends on whatever mega-corp stock, go with them some days and then exiting.So i started to build an engine which contains all the things i learnt during this interesting journey: the system reacts dynamicly depending on different market structures, it also integrates events (like earnings dates etc), it goes long and short, it captures trends for only 2 - 3 days sometimes.Now, im that convinced that this application should work under real market conditions; during development, i Jun 2, 2024 7:07 AM

Tell HN: What Performers Hear in Their In-Ear Monitors During Concertshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40541732Hey HN,I wanted to share something fascinating about live concerts that not everyone might know. As a radio amateur and tech enthusiast, I recently delved into the world of in-ear monitors (IEMs) used by performers on stage. Here's what I've discovered, and I thought it might interest you too.In-ear monitors are specialized earbuds that performers wear during live shows. They play a crucial role in allowing artists to monitor the sound in real-time, which is essential for a precise performance. So, what exactly do they hear in those monitors? Here are some key points: Personalized Sound Mix: Each performer gets a customized mix of audio, which can include different levels of vocals, instruments, drums, and more. This helps them hear themselves and other band members accurately. Communication with Technicians: In-ear monitors also facilitate communication with backstage sound engineers. This can include cues, changes in settings, or other important information. Hearing Protection: IEMs Jun 1, 2024 12:33 AM

Anybody in SF Bay Area see this last night at 9:04pm-9:06pm +/- 1 min?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40457414Flying very fast from ~W > ~E; i.e., from Marin County, appeared to be coming from Mt. Tam headed over Tiburon.Confirmed NOT ISS (was below horizon then); confirmed NOT airplane (checked FlightAware).No haze in the sky (this was from Marin County). Other stars and moon were crystal sharp, yet this was very blurry/hazy glow, so at first, before I could tell how fast it was moving, I thought it was a comet, before immediately checking myself that (a) no comets are scheduled now; (b) that would be an insanely bright comet; (c) it had no tail which would be expected of such a bright comet.But then it disappeared rapidly over a period of several seconds as it dipped into the Earth's shadow (similar to how the ISS would vanish after sunset, too).A friend (literal actual rocket scientist) said perhaps it was the X-37 returning; but I can't see any record of a recent return since OTV-6 in Nov 2022.Anybody?May 23, 2024 5:24 PM

Like, sometimes I thought I included a screenshot, but the important information the engineer needed was what was actually right outside the boundary of the screenshot I took. Or I'd write that something "didn't work" but the engineer wasn't sure if I meant that it returned an error or if it was unresponsive.
