Project mention: Show HN: Pico: An open-source Ngrok alternative built for production traffic | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-14I used a similar alternative to ngrok a few years ago - frp(Source:https://github.com/fatedier/frp).
Ubuntu/Debian: Install LND: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md#install-lnd Install Bitcoin Core: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md#linux-instructions
Project mention: Why is remote desktop slow when host monitor is off unless HDMI cable is used? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-10Take your risk to use it, it is not signed and verified by Microsoft, and you need to install the test cert to use it. https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/6444#discus...
Project mention: Platform issues which disadvantage Firefox compared to first-party browsers | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-19My biggest gripe with Firefox on Android is that sometimes I enter a domain in the address bar, press enter and nothing happens.
This behaviour seems to be erratic and only affects a few websites, such as https://forum.syncthing.net.
Closing the tab or using a different one doesn't solve the problem. I need to force close the app to fix this.
Even more relevant would be the Ethereum Improvement Proposal repo (where people submit proposals to change the spec):
https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs
Or the go-ethereum execution client (the most popular execution client):

"Kraken was initially built with a BitTorrent driver, however, we ended up implementing our P2P driver based on BitTorrent protocol to allow for tighter integration with storage solutions and more control over performance optimizations.
Kraken's problem space is slightly different than what BitTorrent was designed for. Kraken's goal is to reduce global max download time and communication overhead in a stable environment, while BitTorrent was designed for an unpredictable and adversarial environment, so it needs to preserve more copies of scarce data and defend against malicious or bad behaving peers.
Despite the differences, we re-examine Kraken's protocol from time to time, and if it's feasible, we hope to make it compatible with BitTorrent again."
Project mention: Amino – The Public IPFS DHT Is Getting a Facelift | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-03There are a few client options; the most widely used one (to my knowledge) is https://github.com/ipfs/kubo for CLI. There's also a desktop client that's pretty nice: https://docs.ipfs.tech/install/ipfs-desktop/
https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent has a fuse driver since 2013. I'm in the early stages of removing it. There are WebDAV, 3rd party FUSE, and HTTP wrappers of the client all doing similar things: serving magnet links, infohashes, and torrent files like an immutable filesystem. BitTorrent v2 support is currently in master.
