Hello HN! I'm an engineer at Splitgraph and recently started learning Rust so I could make my first contribution to Seafowl [0], an early stage analytical database. Along the way I figured out a database hosting hack on GCP and wanted to share it with HN. It's a way to achieve "true" scale to zero database hosting that could be useful for certain side projects or spiky traffic situations. A recurring problem I've faced with side projects is the need for Postgres, but no desire to deploy or maintain new instances. So when I learned GCP's "always free" tier includes serverless [1] I got…

Hey folks! Shahar and Tal from Keep (https://www.keephq.dev) here! For the last few weeks we’ve been building Peeng and can now share our beta with you: https://www.peeng.sh. Peeng is the easiest and quickest “heartbeat” architecture we could think of. Just pick a subdomain (e.g. x.peeng.sh), configure an interval, an endpoint, and a payload, and hit that subdomain every <X (interval) seconds — If you won’t, Peeng will send an HTTP POST request to your configured endpoint. It’s Pingdom/Cronitor/heartbeat.sh free alternative (but the other way around and A LOT…

This is a proof of concept utility which allows you to expose local services to the internet at large: https://github.com/skx/tunneller In short it is a simple ngrok alternative, which you can self-host. Because it is a proof of concept it hasn't been tested extensively, but it seems like it will solve my immediate-needs. Of course it needs test, and structure added. But feedback can't hurt :)

Hello! I'm learning Rust and also information security, so what better way to learn than to put a tool together practicing both skills? I've tried to use a couple of different tools for subdomain enumeration (part of the Discovery-party when it comes to penetration testing), but none of them were very fast, even if the DNS resolver I pointed them towards is, so I wrote my own tool that leverages concurrency to check a lot of subdomains, fast! It's written in Rust, main parts being using Tokio and async_channels, and I think it works good enough for a first release. I wanted to get recursive…

I built a chained VPN lab to support multi-user traffic isolation using only raw Linux tools. Each user gets: - A WireGuard tunnel - A dedicated namespace (wg-$user) bridged via veth - NAT and routing table override - A second namespace (ovpn-$user) running OpenVPN - Final egress through tun1 The entire setup is controlled with bash scripts and PostgreSQL — no Docker, no containers, no Python, just raw netns, iptables, ip rule and shell. Built for GDPR-compliant VPN infra with real isolation per collaborator. Code and README:…

Hi HN! I built OpenGem, an open-source, load-balanced proxy for the Gemini API that requires absolutely no paid API keys. GitHub: https://github.com/arifozgun/OpenGem The Context: Like many developers, I was constantly hitting "429 Quota Exceeded" errors while building AI agents and processing large payloads on free tiers. I wanted to build freely without calculating API costs for every test request. How it works: I reverse-engineered the official Gemini CLI authentication to get standard API access. However, a single free Google account quota depletes quickly. To solve…

Hi HN! Ben here from hyprsqrl, and I just open-sourced something we’ve been quietly running in production: *hyprsqrl is a self-hostable bank. Think Revolut (if you know it), but every line of code is MIT/AGPL, you can run it on your own box, and the crypto bits stay hidden under the hood. --- ### Why we built it Moving money between USD and EUR still means wire fees, surprise freezes, and “call your bank” hoops. Fintechs like Revolut help—until their pricing changes or a regulator knocks. hyprsqrl aims for the resilience of self-hosting *without* forcing users to study crypto. Two…

Highlighted Features * Auto local address selection: find a port available and start listening to it, so the -local flag doesn’t need to be given every time you run the app. * Create multiple tunnels using a single ssh connection: multiple tunnels can be established using a single connection to a ssh server by specifying different -remote flags. * Aliases: save your tunnel settings under an alias, so it can be reused later. * Leverage the SSH Config File: use some options (e.g. user name, identity key and port), specified in $HOME/.ssh/config whenever possible, so there is no need…

You might have heard that scaling WebSocket infrastructure is not an easy task. It was true–until recently. We built the open source real-time server, AnyCable, that deploys to Fly.io in one command (and configures itself), and the SDK for serverless JS/TS that allows you to build real-time features without any 3d-party PaaS. We call it a real-time server, because it has WebSockets and more, and it’s easy to run and scale. Here’s all you need to add real-time to your Next.js/Vercel app: – Deploy AnyCable to Fly.io with one command (see the docs) – In your Vercel app add one…

Hey everyone, I was always tired of setting up PowerDNS, Bind and PiHole and I am trying to do more projects in Rust, so here is Nomina. It has: * Split Horizon DNS (return a different IP/record if remote IP is in a certain network etc) * DynDNS Support * Blocklist Integration * DHCP4+6 Server * AXFR/IXFR support * Rewriting of records It can replace most of the common Home Lab setups incl. PiHole AdBlocking etc. https://github.com/DatanoiseTV/Nomina
