Hey HN! Long time reader here. I recently spent over five months to modernize an old website I have been working on since 2008: https://whatthemovie.com . This is a simple game where people uploads screenshots from movies, and other players have to guess the title of the movie from where the image was taken. This is really images from movie scenes, not promotional stuff or whatever. We have 70k users (but most are from the 2008-2010 area so inactive), and more than 600k images uploaded by our users for 18 years. Around 30k movies in the database too. Thanks to LLMs I was about to modernize thβ¦

I've made myself a timer + website blocker chrome extension to help me focus. Yes, there are dozens of extensions like this already, yet somehow none of them did quite what I wanted. Which is: you set a timer, and the extension blocks your chosen websites, while you're trying to finally get some work done. Not much more to it. To list some features of any note: - it's kinda neat - it doesn't redirect your tabs, so they're intact when your session ends - the timer can count down from a set time or up until you stop it - entirely local, no external requests whatsoever - mostly vibe-coded (but Iβ¦

Hi HN, I built dsnitch because I wanted a zero-config, bandwhich-style live TUI to see what my homelab Docker containers are connecting toβwithout running sidecar proxies, modifying container configs, or relying on reverse DNS (fails on anycast CDN IPs). Just run the binary and it automatically discovers running containers. Under the hood, it's written in Rust and attaches eBPF probes to the unified cgroup v2 hierarchy and TCP state tracepoints. To map IPs back to domain names accurately, it passively snoops raw UDP/53 DNS responses per cgroup and decodes them in userspace using Hickory DNSβ¦

Needing to take a whole seperate service just to deploy, monitor and trust with my API keys is just annoying since my whole tech stack was just TypeScript and Node. VernLLM does the same job within your LLM calls, but its in process instead. Its supports OpenAI-compatible APIs, Anthropic, Gemini and Bedrock providers. I would also argue that the features VernLLM provides is more developed then any other gateaway out theβ¦
