I originally was just messing with pi-autoresearch. Gave it a sample task to build the most portable coding agent. First cut was 6 KB of shell. Great for one-shots, unusable interactively. I was shocked it actually worked. Started building up -- adding features — but with a self-imposed rule: no new dependencies, and sub 500 LOC. This thing had to be truly portable. Just sh, curl, awk. System primitives only. Which means I did some genuinely disgusting things in awk, including JSON parsing and the OpenAI Responses tool loop with reasoning items carried across turns. It's now ~400 lines. In…

I created this to fill a need, accessing those silly LLMs from the menu bar instead of a web browser or command line. It relies 100% on Ollama, but gives you an easy way to make queries against multiple models, and provides a few sample modelfiles for you. open source, of course. https://github.com/JerrySievert/Dumbar to skip the blog post and go straight to the code and release.

Hello all, I found myself rewriting the same shell scripts to distribute my binaries over and again, so I decided to put them in a repository and serve them with a prettier URL - to have nicer READMEs for my projects. I'll add some other tasks like installing/uninstalling on Windows, but in general ideas are welcome. Maybe somebody else finds them useful!

Hello HN! My name is Rémy and I recently published an astronomy dashboard where everything is open source: the code of the website, the framework it is based on and the library that computes astronomical data. For the last few years, I have been developing the Ruby library Astronoby (https://github.com/rhannequin/astronoby) with as much dedication and perseverance I could while I don't have any scientific academic background. My end goal was to use this library and build a website that not only provides as much data as possible, but let anyone access and understand how it…

I felt that publically available manpage repositories were lacking in one aspect or another (incomplete, hard to navigate, only offering plain text), so I set out to improve an existing one: the Debian manpage web repository. Check out e.g. https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/cron/crontab.5.en.html for an interesting entry point, showcasing a couple of features. For the full launch announcement, see https://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/2017/01/18/manpages-debian-org.html Hope this is useful to some of you!

Open your Terminal / Console / sh prompt and type the following: whois aol.com whois google.com whois microsoft.com ... etc. Can anyone explain why WHOIS/Verisign can't prevent this? I found some explanations but none of them made much sense.
