I’m working on a (free) service that lets you have it both ways. It’s a thin layer on top of vanilla WireGuard that handles NAT traversal and endpoint updates so you don’t need to expose any ports, while leaving you in full control of your own keys and network topology.

I created a simple service that automatically converts Substack newsletters and sends them to your Kindle.

————

A while ago, halfway through reading a long post on Substack, I realized it’d be easier on the eyes to read it on my kindle. As I was going about the process of converting it manually, it occurred to me that I’d already had the same experience with another post before, so I decided to write something to automate it.

After using it for a few days myself and finding it actually useful, I decided to turn it into a small product for others to use. A few weeks after putting it online, I unexpectedly got my first paying customer.

While the product is obviously super niche and the scale is minuscule, I still find it pretty cool and inspiring to experience firsthand this full circle (idea -> product -> someone I’ve never met finds it useful enough to pay for)

Well, OpenBSD has pledge(2) and unveil(2), both of which are very easy to use.

can you elaborate please?

HackerList turns your public work (GitHub and StackOverflow, for now) into a profile page with skills ranking, like these ones -

https://hackerli.st/@robindaugherty https://hackerli.st/@thamaraiselvam https://hackerli.st/@potherca https://hackerli.st/@aisrael

It’s free, fully automate, and takes literally two clicks to join.

Ranking (in essence):

1. Each repo gets a score based on various factors. 2. The score is factored by the amount of work contributed. 3. Each language that is used in that repo is weighted by its relative share. 4. Points gained in each language are summed over all repos and ranked by their percentile across all members. 5. StackOverflow tag points are factored-in similarly to form final ranks.

I have two goals here:

1. Provide hackers with a measurable way to grow, improve and collaborate (WIP) 2. Make hiring easier and more predictable for both ends. Ideally, by eliminating the whiteboard/do-a-mini-project- at-home-without-payment part of the process altogether.

(If you’re hiring and want to participate in the pilot, hit me up at hire@hackerli.st or DM https://twitter.com/hacker_list)

I’d love to hear your thoughts!
