Hi HN! I built Bluetooth USB Peripheral Relay, a tool that lets Bluetooth devices (like keyboards and mice) connect to USB-only hosts using a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Why? My friend needed a way to use his Bluetooth mouse and keyboard on a PC with Bluetooth disabled due to policy restrictions. This tool acts as a bridge, relaying Bluetooth input over USB. It also lets you use Bluetooth peripherals with older devices that only support USB input. Tech: Written in Go, optimized for Raspberry Pi Zero W. I love HN’s community and often lurk here—I’m hoping this project is useful or at least sparks…

Hey there HN! ruroco (RUn RemOte COmmand) is a tool that lets you execute commands on a server by sending UDP packets (instead of knocking on ports). the tool consist of 3 binaries: - client -> runs on your notebook/computer and sends the UDP packets - server -> receives the UDP packets and makes sure that they are valid - commander -> runs the command encoded by the data of the UDP packet if it's valid The commands are configured on the server side, so the client does not define what is going to be executed, it only picks from existing commands. I use this tool to open up the SSH port…

XPipe is a new type of connection hub that allows you to access your entire server infrastructure from your local desktop.

Hey HN, I built this over the last year as I always wanted to have an easy file and terminal access to all of my servers, including containers and clusters that you normally can't connect to with existing solutions out of the box. At first glance it might not look very novel, but if you dig a little deeper, you will see that the entire foundation of how it communicates with remote systems is completely different from any other solution out there. What happens in the background can essentially be explained this way: It launches a local shell process like cmd, sh, etc. and in it executes a…
