Insta360's first compact steadicam, the Luna Ultra, made a splash this year by beating DJI to launch with two lenses. Now it's followed the Ultra with a slightly stripped back Pro model, which drops to one lens but has a unique advantage: it can shoot vertical video in 4K. Plus, unlike DJI's Osmo Pocket 4, […]
Termsinator is a public registry of LLM-performed analyses of public legal documents like ToSs, Privacy policies, Cookie policies, etc. The goal of this project is to help people better understand how their data will be used, and what potential pitfalls they need to avoid. Why? You know that feeling of enlightenment and sense of control after you've red dozens of pages of legal mumbo-jumbo before subscribing to a service? Yeah, neither do I (well, maybe some of you do and mad respect for that). I've been encountering more and more reports on how corporations abuse ToSs, Privacy policies and t…

Hi everyone, as I spent a substantial amount of time in the console, even today, i sometimes need to think of some complex combination of git/find/ffmpeg/xargs and friends and so i've been using https://github.com/kagisearch/ask for some time. Since it appears to be unmaintained i started my own version (yes, thanks to some LLMs work) and i am quite happy with it. It appears to have gained a lot more features than i initially thought but there it is. My personal highlights are: - can install shortcuts for bash/fish/zsh for pressing CTRL-W and having the current prompt replaced with the "answe…

I've built a website where you can browse PC parts from Amazon without distractions and clutter. Most people, like myself, value more information and a clear way to find products than being bombarded with irrelevant stuff like "hey buy this item too" or "people also buy this" Sometimes you need to scroll too far down just to see actual specs. So I decided to make it simple, just a list of products and some filters to find what I need. If you value a distraction free, no clutter way to find what you need, check it out: https://findpcpart.com In the future, I plan to extend it and provide more…
Ever had a multi-tenant SaaS app where the only thing stopping Customer A from seeing Customer B's invoices is a Where TenantId == clause someone remembered to write? In this deep dive I build real tenant isolation into EF Core 10 - two real tenants with real registration, login and invite flows (no dev-token shortcuts), a named global query filter that scopes every query automatically, and a SaveChangesAsync override that stamps TenantId on every insert so it's never left unset. I also show the one gotcha that makes EF Core 10 worth the upgrade for this: named query filters, so tenant isol…

We have a first play of the forthcoming Tomb Raider remake and speak with its developers. Can they improve on the gameplay without losing what made the 1996 original such a classic? We join Lara Croft in St Francis’ Folly – inspired by the Unesco-listed monasteries of Meteora in Greece – as the light shines through the cracked ceiling and a flock of bats glide across the vast ruins below. When Lara leaps down to the monastery’s crumbling pillared courtyard, it becomes clear that these screeching, leathery creatures aren’t just set dressing. As they lurch towards her with unpredictab…

Hey HN, I’ve been cobbling together a tool to read beautifully formatted markdown without leaving my terminal. Lime renders markdown in the terminal with actual formatting - big headers, syntax highlighted code, mermaid diagrams, all drawn using Ghostty’s Kitty graphics protocol support. It picks up your terminal’s native theme and you can jump between headings, pull up a table of contents to search and jump to sections of your document. It’s macOS and Ghostty for now, the document lives in scroll back and we use Apple Events to ask Ghostty jump around the scroll back instead of re-re…

Hey, HN. Long time reader; first submission. I read HN daily and greatly enjoy looking at the projects that people are working on. I find the single-page websites particularly fun and decided to make one of my own. KegelTrainer.net is a visual Kegel trainer for men with configurable settings based on clinically recommended protocols. It’s ready to go instantly with no login. I made this tool because I do Kegels myself as a man of a certain age and wanted an easy way to track hold times and reps. Most of what’s currently out there seems to involve upsells and/or data collection. This tool…

Disclosure: I led this workstream at the Cloud Security Alliance. CSA published new guidance on Zero Trust Microsegmentation. Sharing here because the framing is more precise than most vendor material on this topic, and I think the model split is useful even if you disagree with parts of the paper. Core definition used throughout: a communication is "segmented" only if it's explicitly permitted, enforceable, observable, and governable over time - not just blocked by default or isolated by network position. Two models, formally separated: Topology-defined segmentation: enforcement based on net…

Hi HN. I half-built a dumb link-shortening service in 2020 on API Gateway and DynamoDB, and never finished it, but that didn't stop me from registering an 'updog'-themed domain for it. I forgot about it until tonight and decided it was worth finishing this tool from a bygone era. I scrapped everything and moved to more modern tools: one script on a Cloudflare Worker, with the links (and the Terraform state) in R2. You can use what I'm hosting if you want, or clone it and deploy your own. Here are some of the characteristics: It's free-ish. It runs on Cloudflare's free tier, which serves somet…
