Show HN: Quarter β A TUI launcher to browse, search and launch your games
Quarter sits on top of the launcher client you already have. It grabs your library and hands every action back to the launcher, there's no login or password, no API key or data collection. Your client does everything else.Quarter is just a fast shortcut to play your favorite games from the terminal you live in every day. That was my main mission when I created Quarter; just insert quarter, pick a game, press Enter.Written in Go with Bubble Tea, reads Steam's own files on disk; game log

Ask HN: Azure Linux VM's RTC loses 12 hours on reboot if set to 12:xx UTC?
I've noticed a problem, and it happens reproducibly, but I have not seen this being talked about anywhere.Can anyone else reproduce that, I have reproduced it easily with several VMs in different locations, both RHEL/Ubuntu behave the same, so I am fairly sure this is on Azure side of tihngs, but not 100% sure :) Seeing as this should then happen with every boot between 12:00 and 13:00 UTC I am wondering why I would be the only one noticing it :) It messes with systemds boot time, that

Show HN: Hashsync β Deduplicate SSH streams against the receiver's files
On a recent trip, while stuck on spotty hotel Wi-Fi and roaming 5G, I got fed up with how much bandwidth commands like rsync and nix-copy-closure waste.rsync's delta transfer compares each file only with the file of the same name on the destination (or, with --fuzzy, a file in the same directory), so renamed, moved and copied files are sent in full.nix-copy-closure can be worse: a rebuilt package gets a new store path, so the whole package is sent again, even when most of its contents haven
