With oversight from Clive Barker himself, and a role reprisal as Pinhead from actor Doug Bradley, Revival aims to introduce new audiences to the discomfort of Hellraiser If a horror game gives its own director a physical reaction, it’s probably doing something right. While researching the images people find hardest to look at, game director Emil Esov discovered he has trypophobia – a fear of clusters of small holes.

Hi HN — I built hostflip, a native macOS menu bar app for switching /etc/hosts profiles. It is free and open source under the MIT license. The problem I wanted to solve was not just editing hosts entries. It was sharing /etc/hosts with Docker Desktop, VPN clients, scripts, and manual edits without one writer silently erasing another's changes. On first run, hostflip captures a read-only baseline (called Base Hosts) from the existing file and keeps the untouched original as hosts.orig. Active profiles are appended after the baseline in a clearly marked block. Writes are still atomic whole-fi…
