Show HN: Open-source physical rack-mounted GUI for home lab

The enclosure mounts as a 2U unit. 1U form factor was a bit challenging to pull off but I can try again. I have realized that a lot of people nowadays self-host services and set up home labs with mini racks. A significant challenge I've personally encountered is quickly obtaining health status from self-hosted services and machines, along with having the capability to control my Raspberry Pi headlessly within a mini rack. So, it got me thinking about creating a built-in GUI that users

Apple released the first public beta of iOS 26 on July 24, and the beta brings a Liquid Glass design to the iPhones of developers and beta testers, alongside other updates like a new Games app. But if you're not a fan of the Liquid Glass design, I found a way to reduce its effects so background images aren't bleeding through menus and making things hard to read.

M5 MacBook Pro could pose a big dilemma for upgrade decisions

If you’re interested in a new MacBook Pro, the current M4 model is an excellent option. But the M5 MacBook Pro will launch in the coming year too, and decisions about whether to upgrade could be a lot more complicated than usual. M5 vs M6 MacBook Pro: Two very different options For anyone expecting to upgrade their MacBook Pro in the coming year or so, Apple may have two very different options for you.

Elements of System Design

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-24 09:44:58

Elements of System Design System design is often taught through domain-specific solutions specific to particular domains, such as databases, operating systems, or computer architecture, each with its own methods and vocabulary. While this diversity is a strength, it can obscure cross-cutting principles that recur across domains. This paper proposes a preliminary taxonomy of system design principles distilled from several domains in computer systems. The goal is a shared, concise vocabulary that

As the world gets excited about tri-fold phones as the next big evolution, everyone’s curious about how slim and durable they can really be. We’ve seen a few tri-folds come out already, but TECNO is truly leading the pack with the PHANTOM Ultimate G Fold Concept, setting new standards in both areas.

Leaked prototype reveals M1 iMac almost had an Apple logo on its chin

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-12-28 05:55:57

When Apple introduced the colorful, ultra-thin M1 iMac in 2021, many were surprised by one notable omission: the lack of an Apple logo on its prominent chin. Now, a leaked prototype suggests this was indeed something Apple took into consideration during development… The current-generation iMac features a 24-inch display in an ultra-thin form factor with white bezels around that display. It’s available in a wide range of colors, unlike most Apple products. One of the hallmarks of the iMac design

Nothing Phone 3 doesn’t win on value, but it won me over anyway

Prakhar Khanna / Android Authority The Nothing Phone 3 is quirky and weird. It has riled up the Nothing lovers and haters alike. Social media forums indicate that a lot of people don’t like that camera layout, price, or have polarizing views on the Glyph Matrix. I might be on the less popular end for both. I liked the Nothing Phone 3’s odd design choices when I first saw it in person at the London launch event. I was taken aback by the price, sure. But I wanted to give it a try nonetheless. I’

Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic Review: The Squircle

For the length of our tenure at WIRED, editor Julian Chokkattu and I have differed on one significant point: He prefers the circular face of the Pixel Watch, while I counter by saying that you can see more text on a square Apple Watch. It is clear to me that Samsung has somehow learned of this debate from afar (ChatGPT, is that you?), which has resulted in this … well, the “squircle” design. It is neither a square nor a circle, but both? Samsung refers to this as its “cushion” design. The cushi

Nothing Phone 3 review: flagship-ish

Nothing says that the Phone 3 is its “first true flagship phone,” and it has put its money where its mouth is. The phone is getting a full US launch, and at $799, it costs exactly the same as a Pixel 9, Galaxy S25, or iPhone 16. That makes reviewing the Phone 3 refreshingly simple, because there are only two real questions that matter: is this as good as those three?
