Re:Tachyon Mail – taking over where snappymail left on Sunday September 06, 2026 @04:54AM (#49584538)
Hi all, You might know that Snappymail has been the favorite webmail client for many self-hosters for years. Unfortunately, the developer kind of abandoned it due to personal reasons and it was left to rot. I decided back in June to fork the project and get it up to date in terms of dependencies. It however ended up being much more than that and eventually turned into Tachyon Mail. If you know snappymail (or rainloop) you will feel right at home, but the UI has gotten a serious cleanup, caldav calendar support has been added, multi-folder search, dark/light mode, modern nextcloud integration, and much much more has been added. Tachyon mail has already been downloaded more than 2000 times and a good community is already building around it - reporting issues and posting PRs. Hope you like it.
I would love to get this for the different HN categories like "ask" and "show" (I personally use the "show" part way more than the noisy frontpage)
I personally would have a hard time identifying any advantages that has not been superseded by modern OSes
Nice service.

A small comment. Let the url input be case insensitive (the https + domain part of course). Using it from mobile often set first H in https as uppercase and this mails your site fail.

Would it make sence to use it on large code bases - i.e. not AI data?

I mostly listen to metal when coding - actually, most of my colleagues do too.
love the idea, hate the fact that it is written in a bloated language that is anything but native or self-contained.
5mins showers? that's crazy. Why waste so much time in the shower every day.
Love the product - even for printing it is very nice.

I like the design - too bad that HN does not allow for you to add comment support. That would make it perfect
Looks interesting. It is not very clear to me where the "plrivacy-first" comes in.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Re:Show HN: Public SSH Jump and Port Forwarding Server on Monday March 29, 2021 @07:06AM (#26619949)
any way to use this for e.g. vnc forwarding directly? I mean, I can set it to be available via ssh but would that work?

ssh [email protected] -N -R some-pc:5901:localhost:5901

Now do I reach this from my vnc? I need the "someuser" and -J part when connecting? Would I have to setup another ssh connection from my local pc to ssh-j and then use localhost:5901 in vnc?

Tidal are now blocking IP's that has Tor Nodes running

Some time ago the Tidal music streaming service stopped working at my home. I wrote to their support but it took weeks to get a reply. Initially they told me that my IP was on a blocking list (RBL) and this was the reason. I got removed from that list (it was some irrelevant RBL nobody uses) but Tidal did still not work.I eventually got one of their more tech savvy supporters (like that is a...

Looks very nice. Would be nice to be able to get a public chatroom list like in IRC.

The new Bluetooth stack in Android is brilliant and the documentation proves it

The Android bluetooth team has finally released some documentation for the new android bluetooth stack called gabeldorsche (or gd for short). They discuss it in the informative video linked in the GD readme found here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/bt/+/refs/heads/master/gd/README.md

Re:Ask HN: How did you build up your personal knowledge base? on Wednesday October 23, 2019 @05:06PM (#21339022)
I have used dnote locally for a short while and love it. Unfortunately I cannot connect to the "pro" server (company restrictions), so I am running my own dnote server for this. Works very nice except for a few minor bugs (which reminded me to get them reported on github). Any plans to make the browser extention configurable so it can work with a self-hosted server?

It was actually identified that most of the green areas are now farming land/cropland and NOT forests.
looks nice - too bad it is not available for Linux.
Re:iPhones may shut down in cold weather on Wednesday March 07, 2018 @02:52AM (#16534941)
We had -20C the other day. My samsung S8 was perfectly fine while in my pocket. At one point i placed it on my outdoor table and within a minute it showed a warning and then closed down (correctly closing down - not dying/crashing).
goatse.cx .... or not!
I shifted to Feedly and it easily imported all my google reader feeds. Today I have a couple of thousand feeds in Feedly and still find it a bliss to read through them. Their mobile app is quite good too. I ended up buying their Pro lifetime subscription and it has been worth the money sofar.

Spaces, now and forever.
Re:PSA: Disable JavaScript. Meltdown/Spectre exploits are live on Thursday January 04, 2018 @04:02AM (#16068908)
Its actually the page of one of the researchers (Michael Schwarz) who found the javascript keystroke timing attack (which is in the paper in the link). He is also one of the authors of the Meltdown/Spectre CPU Attack papers so the document is actually worth reading
Re:Ask HN: Modern Linux laptop with great battery life? on Wednesday January 03, 2018 @10:09AM (#16061539)
I have had dual GPU in my last two laptops and it has worked just fine in ubuntu with the Nvidia-prime support. there. With Wayland you can now scale everything so the HiDPI matches your needs (it is still in experimental but works just fine)
