Cool stuff, at work we develop MacVisor and it too supports FreeBSD and FreeBSD-based appliances on Apple Silicon Macs https://scaleninja.com/macvisor/

I was also able to build a custom arm64 router distro based on pfSense and FreeBSD that seems to be functional on Apple Silicon Macs and MacVisor https://github.com/yadvlabs/armsense/releases

bgp + vxlan + evpn is pretty standard in datacenters now. I’m surprised they’re running udhcpd in a ns, instead of cloud-init data iso directly. While it wasnt stated but I think using nft/based firewall is pretty common. For kvm anyone knows if they use qemu or something else for vmm, directly or via libvirtd.

I’m building a Github API compatible git hosting software in rust called Reef, with its mascot Crusty (a tortocrab). https://swtch.in

I got excited about cloudflare’s post until I saw the fine print.

Ask HN: Feedback on GitHub-compatible Git hosting

Posted by rohityadavcloud on Monday September 28, 2026 @04:09PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Hi HN - I'm building Reef, a hosted git software that is Github-API compatible.The site / landing page explains why & features, temporarily at: https://swtch.in/I'm looking for feedback on the beta. I don't know if anyone would be interested as there already are many other git hosting software (gitlabs, gitea, forgejo, gogs etc) - but happy to share a demo, take feedback and answer any...

That was a great suggestion - thank you!

Also a few folks also asked for a UI for macOS, so I also got a menubar (UI) app published on the Mac App Store which too uses the bundled open source dsync CLI. Updated: https://scaleninja.com/drivesync/

Update: a --delete option has been added, when specified on Drive, macOS & Windows it moves files to trash, on Linux it will permanently delete files.

Thanks Tony. Windows binary of DriveSync is available on the releases now, any testing and feedback is much appreciated: https://github.com/scaleninja/drivesync/releases/tag/v0.4.1

For setup (oauth etc) I wrote this guide that you may refer https://github.com/scaleninja/drivesync/blob/main/docs/SETUP...

Not able to develop and test it on Windows and I hit some blocker on arm64 cross compiling so I've skipped it for now, sticking with macOS and Linux. Are you a Windows user?

This is faster (on tracking changes via diff, handling resumes & parallel streams) and narrow in scope than rclone. rclone is a fantastic tool for those you're used to it, there is no reason to pick this over rclone if one is happy with it.

I've explained a bit more here: https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps/comments/1wahrfw/comment/p8...

Thanks!

Currently, 'dsync diff' will show (conflict) files including any that does not exist on either side (local or remote) and requires user to those cases manually. If you rm a file locally and push, Drive keeps it, and the next pull brings it back. To remove something, delete it on both sides yourself (locally plus on the Google Drive).

But this is a fair ask, I'd keep the default behaviour of 'no delete' but I'll work on to add a --delete flag for users to override that (in the release v0.4.0 this week). Thanks for the feedback.

Show HN: Noject – menubar app to stop drive ejections on macOS

Hi HN, I built Noject, a small native menu bar app for macOS that prevents accidental ejects of always-on external drives.I made it for my own Mac mini setup with NVMe external drives that are always plugged-in and behave like internal storage. Noject lets you protect those volumes and reject any normal eject/unmount attempts from Finder, Disk Utility, Terminal, and other apps.It uses Apple's...

Happy for you - congratulations Paras, Sparsh and VWO. Did the (long-term) employees make anything?
