Since I don't see it mentioned here, Turning Complete is also a game along the same lines and really fun. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1444480/Turing_Complete/

I have gotten my nephew into it with some success as well.

fun how this doesn't work on my firefox
How does this compare with gevent?
It must be pretty satisfying to be able to throw that kind of money at stuff you admire.
Is it just my setup or is the contrast so bad that I cannot read anything.

On a side note, thanks for wisp. I was looking for something like it so I could use it to quickly test the web builds of my tauri mobile app.

Someone contributed v7 already!

I checked for conflicts but didn't go all the way to check for games. What is that anyway?
Re:Show HN: ut – Rust based CLI utilities for devs and IT on Monday October 06, 2025 @02:48AM (#45488333)
I don't have a strict idea of "done" for ut. But, I am not keen on adding increasing complex things to it either. It's purpose is convenience not exhaustiveness.
Re:Show HN: ut – Rust based CLI utilities for devs and IT on Monday October 06, 2025 @02:45AM (#45488316)
Hey, yeah, fair concern. Some tools already have tests, but, I do plan on adding it to all of them.
Re:Show HN: ut – Rust based CLI utilities for devs and IT on Sunday October 05, 2025 @03:50PM (#45484630)
You don't even have to go that far, `base64` is a coreutil (https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/ebfd80083b4fe4ae...).

The point of ut is not to replace or invent new tooling. It is meant to be a set of tools that are simple, self exploratory and work out of the box with sane defaults. So, essentially, something that you don't have to remember syntax for or go through help/man pages everytime you want to use it.

This looks cool, thanks!

Hey HN,I find myself reaching for tools like it-tools.tech or other random sites every now and then during development or debugging. So, I built a toolkit with a sane and simple CLI interface for most of those tools.For the curious and lazy, at the moment, ut has tools for,- Encoding: base64 (encode, decode), url (encode, decode)- Hashing: md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512- Data...

It looks so much better than I expected. This is cool.
This looks awesome, thanks! The best thing about this imo is that I can remember the url instead of having to dig through pages to find the official pinout pdf.
Re:Show HN: Self hosted bangs and go links with jmp on Sunday May 25, 2025 @12:12PM (#44088824)
I wanted to start using golinks in my workflow and I am a fan of the duckduckgo bangs. So, I built a Rust based web server that can act can act as your default search engine and handle bangs and go links for you.

It is configurable via a toml file.

Re:Show HN: Subtrace – Wireshark for Docker Containers on Wednesday February 19, 2025 @04:07PM (#43107705)
Have not played around with it, but, curious, how does debugging on production work for a specific request/session? Can I filter by some sort if request trace id or something?
The whole twitch demo thing is genius and fun. Do printer companies usually not provide a first party apps or integrations?
Thanks for the kind words. I am so glad you found it useful.
Yup, wormhole and portal are better in most aspects. Beam is helpful when you have novel constraints like not being able to install arbitrary binaries, or if you have the need to transfer streams and not just files, or maybe even pub key based white-listing of access.
You don't have to interpret it in its strongest flavor. I meant more of inbound isolation when I said it.
Yup, you are right.

You can do this using a regular SSH server and some elbow grease. This is meant to be a simple setup and forget system that is relatively locked down and doesn't expose any more functionality than strictly necessary.

This is meant for cases when the machines are isolated, for example, when you attach to a remote container and want to download a file from it to your machine.
Thanks, makes sense. I'll update the readme.
From the readme,

> Beam cannot support end-to-end encrypted buffers. While data is encrypted during transfer to and from the Beam host, it’s decrypted temporarily before being re-encrypted and forwarded. The host only holds a small buffer (typically 1 kB) of unencrypted data at any time and never stores the full stream. For extra security, you can encrypt your files or pipes before sending them through Beam.

With a little effort, beam is as trustable as any (if not more) of its alternatives. And, that extra effort is a result of the design goal of not having to force a binary installation.

Plus, you can always self host beam, it's not that complicated.

Beam lets you do what you described even when both the machines are isolated and not reachable from one another. All you need is ssh clients on both the machines.
It's ssh.beam.camp and is a public host that I run.

Show HN: An SSH based utility to transfer pipes across machines – beam

Hey HN,At work, I was annoyed about having to download logs by writing them out to files and transferring them over to my local over HTTP (admittedly, this is because of a rather novel architectural situation).So, I built a tool in Go that lets you pipe contents into an SSH server for sending and reading them out on another connection. You can also use this tool to transfer files. Just cat the...
