Show HN: rm-safely – A shell alias that moves files to trash instead of deleting I made rm-safely, a simple shell wrapper that moves files to trash instead of permanently deleting them. It prevents accidental deletions from autocomplete mishaps or hasty rm -rf commands.

Should work as a drop-in replacement for rm but safer.

Would appreciate any feedback!

Show HN: Mist – a lightweight, self-hosted PaaS

Show HN: Mist – a lightweight, self-hosted PaaS Hi HN,<p>We’re building Mist, a lightweight, self-hosted PaaS for running and managing applications on your own servers.<p>We started Mist because we wanted a middle ground between raw VPS management and heavy, all-in-one platforms. Existing PaaS solutions often felt too complex or resource-intensive for small servers, homelabs, and side projects. We wanted something that keeps the PaaS experience but stays simple and predictable.<p>Our goals with Mist are: - A simple PaaS to deploy and manage apps on your own infrastructure - HTTPS, routing, and app access handled automatically - Low resource usage so it runs well on small VPSes - Self-hosted and transparent, with minimal magic<p>Mist focuses on being an opinionated but lightweight layer on top of your server. It doesn’t try to hide everything behind abstractions, but it does aim to remove the repetitive operational work that comes with managing apps by hand.<p>Mist is still early, and this is where we really need help. We’re actively looking for:<p>- Users who want a simple self-hosted PaaS and can share real-world feedback<p>- Contributors who want to help shape the core features, architecture, and UX<p>Website: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;trymist.cloud" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;trymist.cloud</a><p>Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;corecollectives&#x2F;mist" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;corecollectives&#x2F;mist</a>
