Show HN: WineBar: A yet another Wine prefix manager, with Asahi Linux support
My daily driver is a Macbook Air M2 running Linux - Fedora Asahi Remix to be precise. One thing I missed when using it is the ability to occasionally run Windows software using Wine. Apparently, you can run Steam on it and apparently Steam allows installing and running arbitrary Windows software, but when I tried it, I couldn't create an account and in general, I'd rather not use Stream. I succeeded running and older version of Heroic Games Launcher [1] under muvm (a virtual machine th
Show HN: I replaced a 5-person marketing team with a swarm of autonomous agents
Hi HN, I was frustrated by the standard startup advice: "Hire a VP of Marketing, Hire a Content Lead, Hire a Video Editor." It leads to massive burn ($30k/mo) before finding product-market fit. I spent the last 3 months asking: "How much of this can be automated?" I built a framework called the "Zero-Employee Growth Stack." It uses different agentic workflows to handle the entire pipeline: 1. Signal Detection (Scanning trends). 2. Content Strategy (Clustering k
Show HN: aero.zip - E2EE resumable file transfer, not P2P, 100 GB, OPAQUE auth
Hey HN! I'm Linas, and here's my take on XKCD 949.I've created a file sending/sharing website (think WeTransfer) which I believe is unique in several ways:* End-to-end encrypted * Recipients can start their download anytime, i.e. it's not P2P WebRTC-based thing like FilePizza * (Effectively) no limit on the size of the uploaded data, i.e. it will encrypt/decrypt 100 GB just fine * (Effectively) no limit the number of files that get sent * Real-time transfers, i.e. r
Show HN: PassDetective – Scan your shell history for leaked passwords and secret
Hi HN, I built PassDetective after realizing how often passwords, tokens, and secrets accidentally end up in shell history during debugging or quick tests. PassDetective is a small CLI tool that scans shell history files using pattern matching to flag potential secrets before they get committed, backed up, or shared. It currently works on Kali Linux and NixOS, and is meant to be a lightweight, local-first check rather than a full secret scanning solution. I’d appreciate feedback on false positiv
