Hi HN! I've been working on Bor, an open-source system for centralized Linux desktop management.Bor consists of a lightweight Go agent and a central server. Policies are streamed to clients over mTLS/gRPC in real time—no polling—and currently support Firefox, Chrome, KDE, dconf, polkit and package management, with more coming.Version 0.8 introduces several new policy types - Thunderbird, Microsoft Edge for Business and FirewallD zones, along with a number of improvements and fixes.I'd love feedback on the architecture, policy model, and whether this is something you'd consider for managing Linux workstations.

Hi HN! We’re Akilan and Miguel, the creators of MarbleOS.The inspiration for Marble comes from the GUI work at Xerox PARC, the 1984 Macintosh, and later NeXTSTEP, which became the foundation for Mac OS X. Before GUIs, interacting with a computer was limited to strange terminal commands:C:\> DIRC:\> COPY FILE.TXT A:You had to remember the command, syntax, paths, and parameters.The GUI made those capabilities visible. Instead of remembering commands, you could point at files, drag them, click buttons, and select actions from menus. It didn't necessarily make entirely new things possible; it just made existing capabilities much easier to understand and use. We feel like AI is still somewhere around this command-line stage.Even though the strict syntax has been replaced with natural language, the interaction can still be quite stiff and depend on heavily recall. Tools like Claude Cowork still look surprisingly terminal-like: /skill-name [param1] [param2]. The parameters are written in natural language, but the user still needs to know the capabilities that exist, and how to invoke it. Command-line flags and arguments have just been replaced with tools, skills, and context.ChatGPT works very well for asking questions, but we aren't convinced that it's the final interface for delegating work across multiple agents. A blank text box and a list of chat threads feels limiting. An agent's capabilities are mostly invisible. With Marble, we're exploring an interface that treats AI more like a workspace than another chat app. Each delegated task becomes a card. Multiple jobs can sit next to each other and run at once. Files, tools, and finished artifacts are visible at once. Before a task runs, Marble also shows which tools it expects to use. The basic idea is that the user should not have to hold the entire structure of the task in their head. And the result should be something directly usable, like a spreadsheet, PowerPoint, or other file, r

I built ChipBuilder to make computer architecture more approachable through interactive puzzles.You start with basic logic gates like AND, OR, and NOT, then gradually combine them into adders, multiplexers, memory, an ALU, and eventually a complete CPU. Once you've built the hardware, you can write assembly programs that run on the processor you created.The game is inspired by courses like Nand2Tetris, but everything runs directly in the browser with a visual circuit editor, simulations, and progressively harder challenges.
