Show HN: Pippin – macOS High-Performance Screen Sharing Client for Linux
Hi HN, I built pippin, a native Rust client for macOS's "High-Performance" Screen Sharing mode on Linux. There are lots of options that can get you usable, high resolution remote access to macOS from non-Apple devices, but until recently there were no options that did not require installing and maintaining a server on your Mac.Apple normally restricts High-Performance Screen Sharing (HEVC 4:4:4 video, system audio, and dynamic display resizing) to Mac-to-Mac connections. A week or
Show HN: Hatoba, an open-source SSH client with an AI assistant and E2EE sync
I've used SSH tools for years and didn't really plan on building yet another SSH client, but I ended up building one the way I wanted. Hatoba is a desktop SSH client for Windows, Linux and macOS. It's written in Rust with Tauri 2 and MIT licensed.Each terminal has an AI assistant panel next to it. You describe the problem, and it reads the terminal screen, runs commands, types into the shell, and reads, edits and searches files on the host to find the cause and fix it. You can app
Show HN: PanamaKVM – direct-booting Linux from Java 25 via FFM/KVM
Hi HN!PanamaKVM is an experimental miniVM containing the bare minimum components needed to boot an x86 Linux kernel and run an interactive terminal. Its key feature is that it is built on top of Java 25 without using JNI. Instead, it utilizes the Foreign Function & Memory API (FFM).I generally stick to Java LTS versions - having worked with Java 21 for a long time - so I recently decided to check if any new LTS releases had come out. It turns out I was a year late to the party regarding Java
Show HN: go-git2 – 10-100x faster than go-git for reads, libgit2 as pure Go
go-git2 is a Go git library (read-only for now) using libgit2 transpiled to Go with wasm2go. As a result, it builds with CGO_ENABLED=0 and cross-compiles without a C toolchain. It supports 64-bit Linux, macOS, and Windows today.While go-git has been great for my uses, its performance on larger repos and quirky differences from the git CLI output have been tricky to work with. I'm a huge fan of wasm2go and go-sqlite3 and wanted to apply the same approach and see what could be done. Incredibl

Ask HN: Have you ever spoken truth to power?
A year and a half ago I heard of Arizona’s chief law enforcement officer, Attorney General Kris Mayes, going on a “listening tour”. She was taking 3-minute statements from the public.My statement said, essentially, ‘I too am concerned. But people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.’ I opened with a brief history of federal protections for US citizens’ civil rights, then transitioned to how modern America's civil rights crimes are perpetrated against those who can't afford an expens
Show HN: Vocafy – Listen to Vocaloid songs by producer, from the original videos
I built Vocafy, a music player web app for Vocaloid songs. You pick songs by producer, singer (voicebank), or year, and it plays the original videos from YouTube and Niconico.Around 2010-2012, at the peak of the Vocaloid boom, I made music videos for a Vocaloid producer. I skipped university for days to edit videos, and it was honestly the most fulfilling time of my life. Lately Vocaloid songs seem to be showing up on YouTube again, so I thought now was the time to give something back. I built i
Show HN: AntiPDF – PDF as it should have been all along
Hi HN,I built AntiPDF, a native PDF reader AND editor for Windows (coming to Linux and MacOS). I built it because I got tired of getting ads and all those Acrobatics.AntiPDF can read, edit, annotate, OCR and organize PDFs while keeping your documents on your computer. It's written completely in Odin and rendered with Vulkan using MSDF fonts for those lovely smooth fonts.Any action in the program that took longer than 20ms was questioned and rewritten. The "Anti" isn't about P
