Naac··on Windows 11 Insider Preview Build
The latest release of Ubuntu already provides this.

I'm running it on the latest zenbook S14, on the ultra 7. Great battery life, and no problems entering/exiting sleep mode.

Naac··on Kill the Newsletter: Convert email newsletters into Atom feeds
And if you want to go full circle, you can use rss2email[0] to manage your RSS feeds in your favorite email client. Yes, even gmail.

rss2email was originally written by Aaron Swartz.

Naac··on Show HN: Eidos – Offline alternative to Notion
I thought this was similar ot Tiddlywiki[0], but then I saw all the LLM integration stuff.

Naac··on Show HN: Brutalist Hacker News – A HN reader inspired by brutalist web design
Neat! Unfortunately Firefox doesn't allow rendering of the post page inside the Brutalist windows. I get the following error: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/xframe-neterror-page?as...
Naac··on AdGuard Home: Network-wide ad- and tracker-blocking DNS server
Anyone know of an Adguard home or pihole equivalent service I can run as part of OPNSense?

I currently have a different machine dedicated to pihole, but it would be intriguing to have something built in. I would imagine split DNS and firewall rules would be simpler this way.

Naac··on Show HN: Twine – Open source multiplatform RSS app
For a long time I've been a happy user of rss2email, originally written by Aaron Swartz. https://github.com/rss2email/rss2email

It periodically fetches the rss feeds, and sends the content to a specified email address where you can use your email reader to sort them into folders.

Assuming you have a "good" email client, this takes care of most of my RSS requirements: Free software, offline availability, and the ability to read anywhere.

The only missing feature I think it could use is a nice GUI to manage feeds.

Naac··on Preview of CLion Nova, which uses the ReSharper C++/Rider C++ language engine
Vscode is missing showing the call hierarchy[0]. And in addition to the mediocre debugging experience compared to Intellij products, I would definitely rank it as one of the worst C++ IDEs available.

Naac··on Thunderbird 115.4.0
They still haven't fixed the 15 year old bug allowing you to open a compose window in a new tab.

Naac··on Thunderbird 115 “Supernova”
Does clicking on "New Message" still create a new window instead of letting the new message be composed in a tab?

That's the one "feature" I've been waiting on that just seems to be stuck in limbo.

Looks like the bug is still open: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449299

Naac··on BrowserBox Pro goes open-source
The title should be changed as it is not "open source" as is used when talking about software licenses, or as defined by the OSI [0]

Naac··on Show HN: Campus FM – live stream college and independent radio stations
UCLA Radio - uclaradio.com
Naac··on OpenRCT2: Open-source implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 with new features
Like others have said, this is an engine reimplantation, not the game.

Like openmw, it requires the original game.

I think the title is misleading.

Naac··on Fast file synchronization and network forwarding for remote development
I haven't found anything better than using Unison. Maybe the linked README could compare prior art?
Naac··on Advantages of Monorepos (2015)
I think its worth calling out that there are different types of monorepos.

For example, I've worked in a monorepo that was one giant binary, but I've also worked in a monorepo that was a single repo that contained 4 ish independent services ( but were all in a single git repo ).

Naac··on Critical Gitlab vulnerability let attackers take over accounts
A different comment thread recommending http basic auth: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29761966
Naac··on Why is California wasting millions on hydrogen fuel pumps?
What about people living in apartment buildings that can't charge at home?
Naac··on The decline and fall of Java on the desktop
>> This history is neither meant to be comprehensive, nor necessarily chronological. I’m recounting my own journey through the Java desktop landscape, and it will be biased towards Mac

This paragraph should really be right in the beginning of the post, instead of in the conclusion.

Naac··on Minimal English (2018)
Reading the paragraph about Galileo's telescope reminded me of Guy Steele's talk Growing a Language:

Naac··on An example of why RSS is useful and important
There is also the much more complete rss2email tool ( originally started by Aaron Swartz )

Naac··on Why federated protocols don't work (2016)
Editorializing the title is against the guidelines:

Naac··on Why federated protocols don't work (2016)
@dang please change the title to `Reflections: The ecosystem is moving (2016)`

EDIT: Not sure why I am downvoted, editing is against the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

This particular title also feels extremely clickbaity.

Naac··on Easily handle CLI operation via Python instead of regular Bash programs
This looks like an unmaintained version of (the much more complete) pyp:

Naac··on Raid-Z Expansion Feature for ZFS Goes Live
I don't understand why the title says "Goes Live"?

The code is here[0]. It still needs more testing and cleanup, and will then eventually be merged. After that it'll take some time to make to all the distributions ( freenas, freebsd, etc. )

Naac··on Zim – A Desktop Wiki
>> but the fact that you have to choose a method of saving

AFAIK there is a single default. Just use that. If you need more features you can go down that rabbit whole but I think tiddlywiki is very usable without any modifications like you're describing.

Naac··on Zim – A Desktop Wiki
I just run tiddlywiki on the node js server[0] and haven't had any problems.

Naac··on Zim – A Desktop Wiki
I think being able to view your wiki from any browser is a positive. I don't need a separate app for my phone, I just access my wiki website and everything works the same.
Naac··on Zim – A Desktop Wiki
Once again I'm going to recommend tiddlywiki[0].

It has the hackability of emacs but can run anywhere a browser can ( both online and offline ). And of course, an active community and ecosystem built around it.

Naac··on Moving Google Contacts and Calendar to NextCloud
What kind of noise does that JBOD produce? Do you have any links to a similar one on ebay?
Naac··on Keyboards and Open-Source
I'm currently looking for a split, wireless ( bluetooth or not ), QMK compatible firmware keyboard that doesn't cost over $300. Or alternatively, an existing one that has an alternative open firmware option.

It seems like something that checks all of these boxes just isn't available.
