Show HN: Nofan Framework 16 Fan Controller

Wrote this to keep my Framework quiet (or at least have a constant noise level when necessary). YMMV but I really like having the fan off most of the time.

Re:LineageOS 23 on Sunday October 12, 2025 @03:11AM (#45555985)

I'd love to see a hybrid phone with an embedded stock android for banking, pay and government apps and a regular LinageOS or Linux OS that runs on a separate partition/hw/vm.

Like "gluing" two phones together - just better ;)

It would be great to run an open OS but having to carry a separate phone for banking/paying is not really a viable option.

Ask HN: Undeleteable GitHub Notification

Posted by laktak on Wednesday October 08, 2025 @05:18PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I have a dot on the GitHub notification that can't be cleared..It helpfully says "1-0 of 2" notifications are shown, which in reality means the list is empty.It's from some scam repos that mentioned me but were deleted before I could clear the notification.Am I the only one bothered by this? How do you get rid of the dot? ;)
