Show HN: I hated how much my 12-year-old played Roblox, so we built our own FPShttps://cooked.houseI'm a father of two, 7 and 12. They are obsessed with Roblox, especially Rivals.Like a lot of parents, we did not love it. We tried the usual things: block it, limit it, set timers." It became a daily battle, a lose-lose situation.So I flipped the problem.Instead of fighting what they loved, I decided to lean into it, but with a twist.Why just play an FPS when you could build one together?My kids became the PMs. Claude and I became their engineer.I was shocked by how fast we moved. We picked a name, Cooked and started building.Get in. Lock in. Get cooked!In the first 3 hours, we had an actual FPS we could play together in the browser.Next day I invited my friend's two kids over. Suddenly, I had four PMs.We had 3 laptops, 1 iPad and 1 iPhone.So in 30mins we added mobile support and could play all 5 together.The kids would ask for features:"Can we have a rocket launcher that knocks people off the map?""The knife should stab faster when you hold it."I know almost nothing about FPS design,Jul 5, 2026 5:14 PM

A fleshed-out IPv5 proposalhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48781622Over 30 years after its introduction, IPv6 has still not replaced IPv4. I've seen those "just add more bits to ipv4, call it ipv5" proposals before. They tend to skip the important details and talk past others, but they have a point. After filling in the details over time, I think this actually works, it'd make a serious difference, and it's doable with the current IPv6 header.Background...Let's assume the IPv6 packet format is already sufficiently supported on routers, hosts, etc. That's not the blocker anymore, rather plenty of ISPs, web services like Github, and corporate networks have chosen not to adopt IPv6. Home routers just enable it, but it's nontrivial for services because it's a separate network from v4 in every way, requiring extensive config changes. End result, almost everyone needs a v4, while many use v6 but don't depend on it.IPv6 absolutely needed a new packet format to support >32-bit addrs. But it made more choices beyond that, largest of which was starting with a fJul 4, 2026 12:43 AM

Show HN: Gotaper – A minimalist, journal-inspired race planner for athleteshttps://gotaper.app/Lately I've been planning on running my first 100 miler and been struggling with organizing everything around the race. Been back and forth between google docs, notes, spreadsheets and AI agents. So in the middle of that, and a long run, though about creating a kind of journaling app for taking notes about the race and everything about it and it got interesting. So here is the first kind of working version. I would love some brutally honest feedback: - What do you think? - What is the clunkiest part of your current race-week planning workflow? - Does the journal-style layout give you more data control than just a spreadsheet? - What feature would make you actually drop your current setup for this?Jun 28, 2026 8:18 PM
