   Greppers – fast CLI cheat sheet with instant copy and shareable search▲65

   I kept re-Googling the same flags, so I built a tiny, fast directory of copy-ready CLI commands. It’s static (vanilla JS), instant search, keyboard nav (↑/↓ + Enter), favorites (localStorage), and linkable queries. Examples: • grep errors → https://www.greppers.com/?q=grep%20error%20logs • list open ports (macOS) → https://www.greppers.com/?q=list%20open%20ports • show git branch graph → https://www.greppers.com/?q=git%20graph • tail with colors → https://www.greppers.com/?q=tail%20colors Tech notes: static site on Netlify, no…

    pompelmi▲10

    Hi HN — I’m the author of pompelmi, an open-source, in-process scanner for untrusted file uploads in Node.js. Motivation: I wanted a practical “upload guard” that reduces common upload risks (ZIP bombs, traversal in archives, MIME spoofing, polyglots/macro hints) without sending files to a cloud AV service (privacy + latency + GDPR concerns). Key points: - Runs in-process (no cloud calls); files never leave your infrastructure - Deep ZIP inspection with configurable limits (depth/entries/ratio) + nested archive scanning - Composable scanners (heuristics + optional signature…
