park
Pause a process and free its TCP port. Resume later.
What it does
Freeze a running server and free its TCP port — without killing it. Resume later with the same PID, memory, and state. park reaches inside the target process and injects close(fd) via ptrace (Linux) or Mach thread injection (macOS) to release the listening socket. Resume recreates the listener at the same fd number. Works with uvicorn, FastAPI, Flask, python http.server, and more. Single binary, no deps. Install: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mr-vaibh/park/main/install.sh | sh

Hi HN, I’ve wanted a simple solution to handle Wake-on-LAN sequences for my home and work labs to boot up servers in the right order. I was already dabbling in Rust and thought this would be an interesting project to dive deeper and see if it could work well for this kind of network tool. The result is rallyup. rallyup lets you set up server dependencies in a YAML file, so each service (e.g., firewalls, storage, VM hosts) comes online in the right order. It verifies each server’s status before moving to the next. Features: - Dependency-based WOL with VLAN support - Built-in health checks…

- PLPeeng – like Pingdom, but the other way around and simpler2023 · peeng.sh · ▲84
Hey folks! Shahar and Tal from Keep (https://www.keephq.dev) here! For the last few weeks we’ve been building Peeng and can now share our beta with you: https://www.peeng.sh. Peeng is the easiest and quickest “heartbeat” architecture we could think of. Just pick a subdomain (e.g. x.peeng.sh), configure an interval, an endpoint, and a payload, and hit that subdomain every <X (interval) seconds — If you won’t, Peeng will send an HTTP POST request to your configured endpoint. It’s Pingdom/Cronitor/heartbeat.sh free alternative (but the other way around and A LOT…

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.
