Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use? 726 by rickybule | 416 comments on Hacker News. Indonesia is currently in chaos. Earlier today, the government blocked access to Twitter & Discord knowing news spread mainly through those channels. Usually we can use Cloudflare's WARP to avoid it, but just today they blocked the access as well. What alternative should we use?

Show HN: Base, an SQLite database editor for macOS 675 by __bb | 176 comments on Hacker News. I recently released v3 of Base, my SQLite editor for macOS. The goal of this app is to provide a comfortable native GUI for SQLite, without it turning into a massive IDE-style app. The coolest features are - That it can handle full altering of tables, which is quite finicky to do manually with SQLite. - It has a more detailed display of column constraints than most editors. Each constraint is shown as an icon if active, with full details available on clicking the icon. This update also adds support for attaching databases, which is a bit fiddly with macOS sandboxing. I'd love to hear any feedback or answer any questions.

Show HN: I spent 6 years building a ridiculous wooden pixel display 975 by benholmen | 131 comments on Hacker News. I built the world's most impractical 1000-pixel display and anyone in the world can draw on it. It draws a single pixel at a time and takes 30-60 minutes to complete a single image. Anyone can participate in the project by voting for the next image to be drawn, and submitting images. https://kilopx.com/

Show HN: Draw a fish and watch it swim with the others 858 by hallak | 220 comments on Hacker News. Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like [Morning Brew]( https://ift.tt/EBqUCcu ), [MetaFilter]( https://ift.tt/OFYhdqV ), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a [vibe-coded fish-tinder]( https://ift.tt/pi4vTK7... ). Was a fun exercise, spent about a month on it. Frontend is HTML5 hosted on github pages, backend is Node.JS on GCP.
