winsysroot is a tool which automatically and efficiently creates what is effectively a "sysroot" for Windows targets, allowing you to (cross)-compile against native Microsoft sources from any operating system and for any architecture supported by Microsoft. It also takes care of the case-sensitivity problem of the Windows SDK by automatically generating LLVM overlay specifications. It is written in pure cross-platform Go and is extremely fast it tries very hard to download the absolute minimum number of files to achive its goals. It pulls all data directly from Microsoft to avoid any legal…

https://freakynit.gumroad.com/l/downloads-director MacOS app that automatically moves downloaded files into folders based on their extensions. You can create custom rules (e.g., .jpg → Pictures) and apply them in real time or on-demand. It works in the background and supports both ARM and Intel Macs. Free to use. Feedback welcome! Thanks..

Hello HN! We've been working on a new hypervisor https://kwarantine.xyz that can run strongly isolated containers. This is still a WIP, but we wanted to give the community an idea about our approach, its benefits, and various use cases it unlocks. Today, VMs are used to host containers, and make up for the lack of strong security as well as kernel isolation in containers. This work adds this missing security piece in containers. We plan on launching a free private beta soon. Meanwhile, we'd deeply appreciate any feedback, and happy to answer any questions here or on our slack…
