Show HN: A GTK app for Linux to show file buffer progress
This GTK app for Linux [0] puts up a progress bar showing how much data is left in the "Dirty" and "Writeback" buffers. For good measure it also shows the progress on most simple file operations such as cp or mv.The main purpose is to scratch my own itch when copying large files onto a USB drive. I want to be able to see the progress of sync (or "eject") operations whose feedback usually amounts to "wait" or "finished" !At the CLI, of course, you
Show HN: VM-curator – a TUI alternative to libvirt and virt-manager
I've long wanted to harness QEMU/KVM for my desktop virtual machines, but I'm befuddled by virt-manager's lack of support for working NVIDIA 3D acceleration, dogmatic embrace of ugly XML, and the puzzling UI decision of having to click what seems like 15 buttons to attach an ISO to a VM image. When I further learned that NVIDIA's broken 3D acceleration is the fault of libvirt as opposed to QEMU's virtio driver, I had an idea...Behold, vm-curator! A fast and friendly

Show HN: Retain – A unified knowledge base for all your AI coding conversations
Hey HN! I built Retain as the evolution of claude-reflect (github.com/BayramAnnakov/claude-reflect).The original problem: I use Claude Code/Codex daily for coding, plus claude.ai and ChatGPT occasionally. Every conversation contains decisions, corrections, and patterns I forget existed weeks later. I kept re-explaining the same preferences.claude-reflect was a CLI tool that extracted learnings from Claude Code sessions. Retain takes this further with a native macOS app that:- Aggr
Show HN: Sweep, Open-weights 1.5B model for next-edit autocomplete
Hey HN, we trained and open-sourced a 1.5B model that predicts your next edits, similar to Cursor. You can download the weights here (https://huggingface.co/sweepai/sweep-next-edit-1.5b) or try it in our JetBrains plugin (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/26860-sweep-ai-autocomp...).Next-edit autocomplete differs from standard autocomplete by using your recent edits as context when predicting completions.

Ark and GENESIS A protocol for sovereign know nodes and consent-based federation
Hi HN,I’ve been working on an architectural specification to address the structural flaws of email (noise/spam) and centralized platforms (lack of sovereignty). I just released the initial RFC/Manifesto on GitHub and I’m looking for feedback.The core concept is ARK: a sovereign knowledge node infrastructure.Unlike email (open protocol = spam) or social platforms (centralized = algorithmic bias), ARK relies on "Federation by Consent":1. Sovereignty by Design: You run your own
