Description

CLI Tool
Show HN: Snub – A fast, lightweight file search CLI for Windows (written in C) built snub, a fast and lightweight recursive file search tool for Windows, written in modern C (C17). File Explorer and PowerShell often crawl on large codebases β€” so I wrote something that doesn’t.

snub is: - Fully multithreaded - Avoids indexing entirely - Supports globbing, size/date filters, result limiting, and JSON output - Packaged as a single small executable

No dependencies. Just raw C and the WinAPI.

Would love feedback on C idioms, WinAPI practices, or ideas for portability and better build flow.

Show HN: Pi-hosts – Give the Pi coding agent access to your servers I built that initially for an AI chat bot that allows teams to perform DevOps tasks straight out of Slack&#x2F;Teams (with proper permission control, obviously).<p>Useful to let developers perform mundane tasks, or help coordinate incident response.<p>I ended up using it myself on my own machine to manage Hetzner and AWS boxes. I thought that may be useful to others.<p>The default policy should be good enough, but if you don&#x27;t like living dangerously, you can set it to `paranoid`.<p>Install: `pi install npm:pi-hosts`<p>GitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;hunvreus&#x2F;pi-hosts" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;hunvreus&#x2F;pi-hosts</a>
