Show HN: I made a privacy-first minimalist Backblaze
Creator here. I was looking for something as simple as Backblaze Personal [1] but privacy focused and open source. This is my attempt to build that.<p>Uses PyQt6 [2] for the GUI and Pyinstaller [3] for creating the platform specific binaries. The backup engine under the hood is Restic [4]. The server code is written in Laravel [5]. All the code is on GitHub [6].<p>I actually really like Backblaze (even use B2 for this offering behind the scenes) so this isn't meant to throw shade their way. Just wanted a private open source alternative. Something like Bitwarden but for backups.<p>[1] <a href="https://backblaze.com" rel="nofollow">https://backblaze.com</a><p>[2] <a href="https://pypi.org/project/PyQt6" rel="nofollow">https://pypi.org/project/PyQt6</a><p>[3] <a href="https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/stable" rel="nofollow">https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/stable</a><p>[4] <a href="https://github.com/restic" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/restic</a><p>[5] <a href="https://laravel.com" rel="nofollow">https://laravel.com</a><p>[6] <a href="https://github.com/blobbackup/blobbackup" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/blobbackup/blobbackup</a>

Show HN: Surfboard – CodeSandbox for Arduino
Hello HN!<p>I'm excited to reveal Surfboard to you all! Surfboard is a widget that enables you to share your Arduino code as a URL link or HTML embed. People interacting with your widget can edit, compile and upload the code into their Arduino board--right in the browser.<p>Surfboard supports over 170 boards and over 4,200 libraries, so rest assured you can share quite a large variety of Arduino projects here :)<p>More on tech stack:
- Backend is Node.js and Go with MongoDB database, with most of the codebase a derivative of the Duino App project (<a href="https://duino.app/" rel="nofollow">https://duino.app/</a>)<p>- React frontend<p>This project is a few days old so feedback is highly appreciated!<p>P.S. If you live in the UK (esp. London), I'm also looking for a highly technical and passionate partner-in-crime. Send an email to birudeghi@gmail.com with 1) Something amazing you've built, 2) How you got into the hardware space, 3) Contact details and times when I can talk with you.

Show HN: I made a little math game named Summle
I made this game for my children to play, as they are heavily into Wordle, and I thought they'd also like something maths based!<p>Every puzzle is solvable and has at least one solution (usually more).<p>There is a kids mode in the settings, plus a hard mode for extra difficulty.

Show HN: Crowdsource creation of Ukraine/Russia peace agreement
I've created an app with the goal to: Crowdsource creation of Ukraine/Russia peace agreement.<p><a href="https://peaceagreement.org/" rel="nofollow">https://peaceagreement.org/</a><p>How did it come about? - I'm worried about the rapidly escalatory nature of Ukraine/Russia conflict. Western countries are taking many measures to stop the war, but all measures seem to be alike - they all escalate and deepen the divide between the nuclear armed military powers. Meanwhile, innocent people in Ukraine are suffering now, innocent people in Russia are going to suffer soon due to sanctions and I cannot see how adding more suffering to the World is good and is bringing us closer to peace. I wondered if an unconventional approach to trying to resolve the conflict could be of any benefit...<p>You can see a mock example of a peace agreement here:<p><a href="https://peaceagreement.org/perfect-emblematic-fulfilling-clever-world" rel="nofollow">https://peaceagreement.org/perfect-emblematic-fulfilling-cle...</a><p>I've committed $1000 to the best reasoned peace agreement anyone comes up with. If you have geopolitical understanding of the situation and can construct an objective and convincing agreement, please create a new one by pressing "Create new agreement button" in the landing page. The app has just been launched and not many agreement proposals have been submitted yet, so the competition for $1000 is not fierce currently.
Show HN: I made a cloud security product that actually saves time
I have been a Cloud Security Consultant for over 13 years and all that experience I put into building ARGOS Cloud Security.<p>Probably the most common thing I've seen was teams spending loads of time manually investigating alerts from security products. Detecting security issues is not what it’s ever been about, but about the investigation of these detected issues. If you don’t have time to investigate everything, then what’s the point?<p>Organizations spend time and money on security consultants to help them investigate their environments, but these are often only point-in-time engagements, where, once done, nothing "reusable" is left behind. The cloud environment might be in slightly better shape, but maybe only for a short period, before the next contractor must come in to start the process all over again.<p>I, and many others I've worked with, always believed that the most difficult part of cloud security is distinguishing security issues from "just best practice violations". Using an "everything must be compliant" approach never really works and usually means things just don't get done. If everything is red, what do you do?<p>So, people spend immense amounts of time trying to figure out what cloud misconfigurations are actual security issues, what else is put at risk because of something that is misconfigured, and how it can be fixed. All that information is important to eventually prioritize and fix issues.<p>ARGOS investigates the things it finds, that's what it does. It's not about "finding more", it's about understanding what misconfiguration is exposing a cloud system to the internet and what else in your cloud environment is that misconfiguration indirectly putting at risk.<p>One awesome side-effect of this is that we even draw something like an architecture diagram of the environment "around the misconfigured resource". This specifically is something I know most past customers of mine lacked. Architecture diagrams were hard to come by, and never up to date.<p>It's easy to try out if you have access to a cloud environment like Azure or AWS, GCP is in a very early version right now. 20 minutes or less even is all it takes to get everything going, including a one-click Slack integration. First results should be in your dashboard minutes later and are continuously and automatically updated.<p>Really looking forward to people's feedback.
Thanks all!
