> With Codex technology built-in, ChatGPT can now move beyond answering questions to getting real work done across web, mobile, and desktop.

This looks like OpenAI catching up to Anthropic's Cowork.

This seems roughly similar to Google's Cloud Run gen2 instance types. My understanding is with the second generation, they are running microvms which are bootstrapped from a container image.

Interesting, for me `shift+enter` hasnt worked, but `option+enter` does give me new lines in Claude Code's promptbox inside tmux on MacOS.

I'm really interested to learn more about the work on the official Rust frontend - do you have any links to share by chance?

Show HN: SRD, a simple DNS-driven HTTP redirect service

patabyte — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 17:41:46 +0000

I've always wanted a simple way to manage redirects in one place. Routinely, I find myself adjusting them, and it usually looks like like update DNS, then go update the load balancers and then maybe hit an http service.

So, after taking in heavy inspiration from DMARC, I built Simple Redirect Daemon (SRD).

SRD open source, and is hosted for free. Check out https://srd.sh for docs and debug tooling with record generation and inspection. For example, https://srd.sh/?r=show-hn-srd.twopow.com

I've been using this in production across many services throughout the last 6 months, and have really enjoyed the ease of use. I hope you will too!

Feedback and thoughts welcome!

P.S. to quickly see it in action: https://show-hn-srd.twopow.com + `dig TXT _srd.show-hn-srd.twopow.com`.

New comment by patabyte in "macOS 26 breaks custom DNS settings including .internal"

patabyte — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 22:29:02 +0000

Interesting - I run a nearly identical set, with many TLDs configured in `/etc/resolver/X` and dnsmasq handling the resolve and I have not had a single issue.

the resolver confs all contain this content:

    # /etc/resolver/example-private
    nameserver: 127.0.0.1
    domain example-private

I noticed in the author's bug report they do not include `domain`, which is documented in `man 5 resolver` as:

    # The domain directive is only necessary, if your local
    # router advertises something like localdomain and you have
    # set up your hostnames via an external domain.

In the real world though, I've found the `domain` setting to be required nearly every time. I wonder if adding it will resolve the issue?

SOPS with Age is simple, and simple is good. I strongly recommend this approach.

I've been having great success with LLMs generating Mermaid diagrams and flowcharts from a repo. Claude Code and Cursor both do consistently great jobs. For example: `generate a mermaid swimlanes diagram of the XX logic flow`.
