Show HN: DRM-Free Books After several years of mandatory DRM lockdowns from most commercial book sources, now authors have a choice when it comes to DRM for their books. Pick authors and books that are DRM-free, or download DRM-free classics that are out of copyright.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;frequal.com&#x2F;Perspectives&#x2F;DrmFreeAuthors.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;frequal.com&#x2F;Perspectives&#x2F;DrmFreeAuthors.html</a>

Show HN: Unobin compiles Infrastructure as Code to one binary Unobin is a language and compiler for Infrastructure as Code (IaC).<p>IaC source is written and compiled to a binary, called a factory. The factory includes the runtime and all dependencies. To run a factory, pass it a configuration called a stack file that defines backend state and factory inputs. The stack file can only contain configuration, not arbitrary code. Factories can also display a UI in a browser showing progress (animated screenshot in the docs).

[Other] Show HN: Decomp Academy – Learn to decompile GameCube games into matching C Over the past few months I&#x27;ve been heavily involved in the decompilation community. I&#x27;ve been hands-on decompiling a beloved game from my childhood (Star Fox Adventures). I started this journey with zero prior decomp experience—and to make things worse I had never really touched C nor assembly either.<p>Learning how to decompile was challenging. It&#x27;s difficult to find any good learning resources for it and any open-source projects for this are inactive and&#x2F;or contain little actual learning material.<p>So I put together Decomp Academy! Decomp Academy is an interactive way to learn how to decompile PowerPC assembly back into C. The site runs a live Metrowerks CodeWarrior GC&#x2F;2.0 compiler, converts your C into assembly, and then checks how close your assembly matches the target. If even 1 instruction or bit is off, that&#x27;s a fail. This is the gold standard for video game decompilation and this is much stricter than a normal decompile.<p>As of writing there are 250+ lessons on the site and the lessons start at the very basics so anyone with a little programming experience should be able to jump straight in, even if you&#x27;re not a C expert. Some lessons also have real functions taken from live open source decomp projects (Star Fox Adventures, Mario Party 4, Pikmin, Metroid Prime). The idea being you learn everything you need to know to be able to jump in and contribute to a real decompilation project when done.<p>The site is completely free, open source and you have access to all lessons without having to sign up. All lessons are stored in markdown in the repo (src&#x2F;curriculum), it&#x27;s trivial to add or modify lessons. The site is very new and the lessons are rapidly changing every day with a whole C++ section on the way. The site has already been well received by the decomp community and I&#x27;m happy to share it with HN. I&#x27;m very keen on others to contribute to this project and I hope this becomes the best resource on the internet for learning the art of decompilation. Please let me know what you think!<p>Source: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;JackPriceBurns&#x2F;decomp-academy-fe" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;JackPriceBurns&#x2F;decomp-academy-fe</a>

Show HN: QR code renderer in a TrueType font In the &quot;Libre Barcode Project&quot; discussion yesterday, 1bpp asked: &quot;Is anyone willing to sacrifice their sanity for the sake of implementing a QR renderer as TTF hinting code?&quot;<p>Yes. I had some tokens to burn and was curious... turns out, it&#x27;s possible. This was put together by a mix of Gemini, GPT, and Claude (depending on which usage limits kept running out).

[Other] Show HN: KV-psi, using Linux PSI to to trim an LLM KV cache I thought it&#x27;d be interesting to use Linux PSI (Pressure Stall Information) for an LLM runtime to trim the KV cache. This is mainly useful imo for edge devices like the Jetson Orin super nano kit which have unified memory. I haven&#x27;t benched much, but plan to do so more over time and see if I can make a real use of it as I run local LLMs. Let me know if it makes sense :P (I of course vibed this idea)

[Other] Show HN: Adrafinil – keep a lid-closed Mac awake only while agents work A month ago there was a wave of posts and tweets about engineers walking around cafes and parks with their MacBooks propped half-open, as fully closing the lid forces sleep that stops their AI agents. Some people made snarky comments about using tmux or Amphetamine, and some defended their choice with “but I only need it sometimes, and forgetting to disable Amphetamine and finding my laptop discharged in my bag is worse.”<p>This is a solution to this problem. Unlike caffeinate, it will prevent your MacBook from sleeping even with the lid closed, with no external power or display, using pmset disablesleep 1. Unlike other sleep-preventing apps, Adrafinil only activates when there’s an agent actively doing something. It detects agent activity through hooks it installs into Claude Code, Codex, and others. To reassure you it’s working, the app shows the active status in the menu bar, and it plays a chime when you close the lid.<p>Once the agent is done, Adrafinil detects it and lets the laptop go to sleep by setting pmset disablesleep back to 0. It will also let it sleep in case of overheating. And if you want to manually toggle it, you can install an optional MCP and tell your agent to keep the MacBook awake for a specific time.<p>It has four binaries, one of which is a root helper exposing a single setSleepBlocked call. All the logic and policy live in the unprivileged parts. They’re all notarized, and the app is fully open source (MIT).

[API/SDK] Show HN: The TypeScript Semantic Layer for ClickHouse I&#x27;ve built a type-safe semantic layer in code, for ClickHouse. If you&#x27;re building analytics off ClickHouse in TypeScript, I would love your feedback.<p>With hypequery there is no platform to adopt, no YAML sprawl. It runs where your app runs.<p>Key features:<p>- Define metrics once, reuse them everywhere: Declare dimensions and measures in one place and then pull from the same source of truth.<p>- Compiles to ClickHouse SQL: No service, no proxy, no extra runtime to deploy. It&#x27;s a library that generates SQL and runs where your app runs.<p>- Multi-tenancy &amp; Authentication ready: Cross-tenant queries are blocked at the query layer, helpers to plug into your existing auth.<p>- Agent-native: A dataset is a declared set of dimensions and measures, so it doubles as an allowlist. Includes an MCP server to hand an LLM a typed catalog to query.<p>- Runtime HTTP entry point: serve() exposes any dataset as an endpoint, so the same type-safe definitions back your dashboards and your API.
