Show HN: Konform Browser v140.7.0-108
Konform Browser is a Firefox ESR fork focused on security, privacy, and user freedom. This might sound familiar but I think we still have something worthwhile to bring to the browser ecosystem.The project started as a fork of LibreWolf and now stands on its own four feet. It takes a harder stance on the three goals of security, privacy and freedom. It's intended to be suitable as a general-purpose daily driver for everything from managing the intranet to surfing the murkier tubes.This week
Show HN: VBAF – Machine Learning framework built in pure PowerShell
I implemented neural networks and Q-learning in pure PowerShell - no Python, TensorFlow, or external dependencies.Why? I teach IT professionals who live in PowerShell. Python ML examples don't resonate. Building from scratch teaches fundamentals better than using black-box libraries.What's included:- Neural networks: Backpropagation, gradient descent, multiple activation functions
- Q-learning agents: Experience replay, epsilon-greedy exploration, reward shaping
- Environment simulatio

Show HN: Track your input data and create colourful renders with it
The first version of MouseTracks I made all the way back in 2017. It got a lot of interest, but I never had the skill to actually complete it. I finally made a start on 2.0 a bit over a year ago, and I've been chipping away at it for fun ever since.Some key features:
- Track mouse movements, clicks, keyboard, and controller inputs (you can optionally disable any of these).
- Switch profiles depending on what game / application is loaded.
- Live render preview in the GUI.
-It's de
Show HN: Luzia – Unified crypto pricing API for developers
Luzia normalizes real-time ticker data from Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit, and OKX through a single REST/Websocket API.Why I built this: Every crypto project I worked on required maintaining separate exchange connectors. Different authentication, different response formats, different error handling. It's repetitive work that doesn't add value to the actual application.Technical details:
- Bun runtime with Hono framework
- PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM
- Circuit breaker pattern for f

Show HN: I built an AI-powered late-night call-in radio show from my RV
I live in an RV in the desert and I built a system that generates AI callers who phone into my
late-night talk show. Each caller has a unique voice, name, backstory, job, vehicle, and
opinions. They know the local weather, road conditions, and what's happening in the towns around
southern New Mexico. Some are recurring characters who call back with updates on their lives.
