Nobody pays for open source. We can force them to. | Seldo.com

Thirty years of voluntary funding schemes haven't paid open source maintainers because asking doesn't scale. The real money already flows — to JFrog, Docker, Sonatype — at the registry layer. The fix: registries charge companies for supply (they already do), then route a slice automatically to the maintainers who make that supply worth having.

Show HN: Radius – A Meetup.com Alternative | 15

Show HN: Radius – A Meetup.com Alternative

Hello HN!

I'm relaunching Radius [1] - far too long after the original Show HN [2] (I'll blame the day job for that).

Radius started out from my frustration with not knowing what was going on around me. The initial plan was to "show all and every type of event" from big to small, but over time I narrowed the focus to communities, groups, events, and helping people connect through them.

The initial Show HN gave me 150+ comments (surprising, looking back, given how terrible the plain Bootstrap UI was...) with a huge amount of useful feedback and feature requests. I've spent the time since then working through that, along with additional requests from groups using Radius, and it finally feels ready for a proper relaunch.

I've also recently added "Activities" [3] - which are lightweight events, independent of groups, intended to help people find others to do things with - for example:

> John is going for a cycle and a coffee in New York at 10am

People can join and vote for a time that works for them.

I've got a bunch of ideas for where to go next with this, including things like open sourcing and federation, but those are for another day!

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. it's built with Ruby on Rails, for those interested. I highly suspect it would have taken me 2 more years to get to this point without Rails!

Trying the Software Factory Pattern | 14

Trying the Software factory pattern. | Irrational Exuberance

One of the interesting challenges of the AI ecosystem in 2026 is that new, effective patterns emerge faster than I can adopt them. I’ll find a handful, get back to work, and realize a month later that I’d missed four or five more. The adoption cycle for Imprint this year has been something like: January: get every engineer onto Claude Code every single day March: ok, let’s also get everyone else onto Claude Code or Claude Cowork every single day April: local development is bottlenecked on checkout and worktree model, instead create ~10 local workspaces which each have an independent checkout of every repository, and operate at the workspace level, not at the repository level, so it can generate cross-repository pull requests across frontend, backend, infrastructure and data monorepos June: oh boy, agent-driven development is heavily constrained by lack of a common task management system with higher visibility and less permission complexity than Jira, so let’s migrate the entire company over to Linear and hard stop on Jira July: yikes, now we have visibility into all these tickets, many of them are trivial but managing them through local development isn’t scaling, let’s roll out an orchestrated harness which internally we call “Agent Fleet”, along the lines of Stripe’s Minions The most recent question for me has been figuring out how to adopt the software factory pattern. (After some light research, the specific AI-context origin of this term is slightly messy to attribute, but I think it might be Justin McCarthy in February 2026’s Software Factories And The Agentic Moment.)

Show HN: Sigabrt.dev – cronjob monitor with an SSH TUI

Hello HN. I built this mostly to monitor the things I host myself. I know it's nothing too exciting.

Anyway, the TL;DR is: Create an endpoint, and if your script/cronjob fails to regularly ping it, you get notified (by email or ntfy). E.g.:

    0 * * * * ./script.sh && curl -fsS https://sigabrt.dev/pulse/<id>/beat
It also has an SSH TUI which is currently experimental and read-only, mostly because I'm not sure whether it is actually useful or just a gimmick :):

    ssh sigabrt.dev
To use it, simply add your SSH public key in your account settings.

Yes, there are services like this already, and this is minimalistic by comparison. Feedback is welcome. [4815162342]

sigabrt.dev

sigabrt — know when your service stops

A dead man's switch for cronjobs. Your job pings a URL when it finishes; if the ping doesn't arrive, sigabrt emails you.

TuM'Fatig - Overview of AOOSTAR WTR Pro on *BSD

Finding a NAS that provides NVMe and SATA storage while being tiny enough to sit in my 10" rack, have a CPU that’s not hogging, use a small amount of watts and offers usage of a non-proprietary OS is not simple. Especially when you have the “must run any BSD” to the equation. But here we are, the AOOSTAR WTR Pro Ryzen edition meets all my prerequisites. And here’s what I discovered.
