Show HN: Mapnitor – Lightweight server monitoring for Linux and Windows
Hey HNI’ve been building Mapnitor, a lightweight server monitoring platform focused on speed, simplicity, and no bloat. It’s designed for small teams, sysadmins, and hosting providers who just want quick visibility — without setting up Zabbix, Grafana, or a huge stack.What it does:Uptime & latency checks (Ping, TCP, HTTP)Clean dashboard with per-node performance viewLightweight agent (optional) — or just add targets directlyInstant history and analytics viewWhat it doesn’t do:No complex dash
Show HN: Gerbil – an open source desktop app for running LLMs locally
Gerbil is an open source app that I've been working on for the last couple of months. The development now is largely done and I'm unlikely to add anymore major features. Instead I'm focusing on any bug fixes, small QoL features and dependency upgrades.Under the hood it runs llama.cpp (via koboldcpp) backends and allows easy integration with the popular modern frontends like Open WebUI, SillyTavern, ComfyUI, StableUI (built-in) and KoboldAI Lite (built-in).Why did I create this? I

The README: https://github.com/un-nf/404/blob/main/README.mdOr the LP: https://404-nf/carrd.coOr read on...In a small enough group of people, your TLS-handshake can be enough to identify you as a unique client. Around six-months ago, I began learning about client-fingerprinting. I had understood that it was getting better and more precise, but did not realize the ease with which a server could fingerprint a user - after all, you're just givi
Shader systems are ridiculously powerful if you're clever enough
LinkedIn posts are DoA here, and I can understand why.But this is worth reading:Quoting:Laurie KirkShader systems are ridiculously powerful if you’re clever enough.Most people use them to create visual effects. You know what’s cooler?Running Linux.Inside an emulated RISC-V CPU. Inside a pixel shader. Inside of VRChat...—VRChat allows users to embed custom fragment shaders within worlds.Of course, you don’t just get to run arbitrary C code wherever you want; that would be an insane security risk.
Show HN: Linnix – eBPF observability that predicts failures before they happen
I kept missing incidents until it was too late. By the time my monitoring alerted me, servers/nodes were already unrecoverable.So I built Linnix. It watches your Linux systems at the kernel level using eBPF and tries to catch problems before they cascade into outages.The idea is simple: instead of alerting you after your server runs out of memory, it notices when memory allocation patterns look weird and tells you "hey, this looks bad."It uses a local LLM to spot patterns. Not try

WGU Reputation in Canada
Do people see it as a diploma mill up here in Canada? I'm 22 and just about fully committed to the new networking - cisco degree but I'm worried that:People will look up the school, see that it's primarily online, and immediately discard my resume in favor of a local college/university.I'm also just generally scared about the IT sector. I watched a video of a programmer simply running a script to delete and redeploy 1000s of linux machines in a split second. There was an
