    Hi hackers, I made a simple bash tool to update 'A' records in Cloudflare for users with dynamic IPs. I wanted to have a tool to keep a couple of DNS updated with my homelab dynamic IP so I wrote this very simple bash script. There are tools that already solve this dynamic IP issue, but I find the simplicity of a bash script way more convenient than any tool that needs installation, complex configuration, a Python runtime or whatnot. This will basically run in any system with bash. It is very simple and only updates A records, but it does its job and it solves my needs. It could be improved…

    I couldn't find a decent tool to dynamically update IP address in my Cloudflare account, so I created one for me. Thought share with others. It can be run directly, as a scheduled task, and as a docker container. Only API token and target domain is required.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
