How does tools like this work? Is it triangulated by pinging from different location?
Recently I figured Kademlia is how bittorrent achieves trackerless torrents. I used bittorrent-dht[0][1] to build simple decentralised ride hailing app(was able implement POC with end to end booking). I wonder what other modern problems can be solved by this technology

Huge fan of Nucypher. Recently At one hackathon, I used your proxy re-encryption to build decentralised KYC system. Amazing work you guys are doing!

Re:Ask HN: What are you working on this weekend? on Saturday July 28, 2018 @01:15PM (#17634005)
I'm working two projects as of now. Both solves my own problem

1. https://github.com/mohitmun/howienduphere/

Problem: When browsing internet, I often come across really great blog/project/website etc. Its always good go back to origin of where I found it(let it be HN/reddit thread or some obscure blog). Most of the time I don't remember original source where did I find it mostly because its either in my pocket list or lost in dozens of tabs. this chrome extension will keep of all links i visited and their referrer(full urls not domain).

2. https://github.com/mohitmun/punter

Problem: Being rails developer, I love ORM(debatable). its very useful to quickly inspect data or run some manipulation. recently I was manipulating some CSV files, as well as sqlite db. I hate writing raw SQL for simple queries. so wanted to create a command-line tool where i can run simple queries (table.count, table.where(id > 3)) and get results. this should also work with CSV or any other db

Ask HN: Which self-hosted solutions are you using?

I came across Perkeep[1] project today. I know some other self-hosted solutions like Rocket chat[2](Slack alternative), Redmine[3](Project management) etc. Curious what other self-hosted are there and which one you are using?[1]: https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep[2]: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat[3]: http://www.redmine.org/

Re:Ask HN: Do you use windows for development? on Thursday July 19, 2018 @03:33AM (#17564478)
How do switch between both? Do you dual-boot or use VM or something similar?
