Mtproto.zig – High-performance Telegram proxy with DPI evasion
Hey everyone. I built an MTProto proxy for Telegram aimed at bypassing active DPI censorship like the Russian TSPU. I chose Zig because it's perfect for writing fast network daemons and makes it incredibly easy to port low-level C bypass techniques like TCP desync and packet fragmentation. Would love to get some feedback or contributors!
In plain words
Mtproto.zig is a high-performance proxy for Telegram written in Zig that implements DPI evasion techniques to bypass network censorship systems. It uses low-level methods like TCP desync and packet fragmentation to circumvent active censorship like Russia's TSPU. The project targets users in regions with restrictive network controls who need reliable access to Telegram.

- ZBZigg.be – A link shortener that creates short speakable links2013 · zigg.be · ▲75
I created this a year or so ago but recently made updates and I thought people might like to know that it exists. I made this to easily send links or text to someone else verbally, like over the phone or over voice chat (which is what I made it for). The goal is to be able to tell the link to someone else without being ambiguous or needing to spell it out, so I grabbed the words off a Grade 5 level dictionary. I understand that the domain itself doesn’t qualify but I’m trying to get a better domain.
- CCCodex context bloat? 87% avg reduction on SWE-bench Verified tracesApr 2026 · npmjs.com · ▲10
If you had to build a context window manager in 24h, would you stick to the existing model or come up with something better? Here's what I did: 1. Built a proxy that intercepts Codex's calls to OpenAI and rewrites them on the fly. 2. Replayed 3,807 rounds of SWE-bench Verified traces through it: avg prompt 44k → 6k tokens (-87%). 3. Posted it to HN to get the next reduction applied to my confidence interval — starting with the inevitable "How about accuracy?" npx -y pando-proxy · github.com/human-software-us/pando-proxy

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
