Show HN: XPipe, a shell connection hub for SSH, Docker, K8s, VMs, and more (Score: 151+ in 17 hours)

Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6qN3X
Hey HN, I built XPipe as I always wanted to have an easy file system and terminal access to all of my remote systems, including containers, virtual machines, clusters, and more that you normally can't connect to with existing solutions out of the box.
XPipe is a new type of connection hub that allows you to access your entire server infrastructure from your local desktop. It can make your life easier when working with any kind of servers by eliminating all the commonly tedious tasks that come up when interacting with remote systems, either from the terminal or from a graphical interface. XPipe comes with integrations for SSH, docker and other containers, various hypervisors like Proxmox, Kubernetes clusters, tools like Teleport and Tailscale, and more without requiring any setup on your remote systems. You can link your favourite text/code editors, terminals, password managers, shells, command-line tools, and more with it, allowing you to keep using your own favourite tools when working with XPipe.
The entire implementation of how it communicates with remote systems is completely different from most other solutions out there. What happens in the background can essentially be explained this way: It launches a local shell process like cmd or bash and executes a command that opens a remote shell connection such as ssh user@host in that shell process. All communication is then done through the stdin/stdout/stderr of that shell process. From there, it detects what kind of server and environment, such as shell type, os, user, etc. you have logged into and adjusts how it talks to the remote system. By then using, for example, file system related commands such as ls, rm, touch, etc. and its equivalents, it can realize a functional file manager that can connect to essentially every system.
It is essentially the same idea as emacs TRAMP mode if you have ever used that. With the difference being that it works on all kinds of systems and is also not constrained to a certain editor/tool environment. VSCode also uses a similar approach for some of the remote development tools with SSH, but that one is more limited in scope and is a little bit sluggish to use. And it's also bound to the VSCode platform. The goal of XPipe's implementation is to not be limited by a certain environment or specific set of tools.
The development took a while as this new approach requires a completely new implementation in many areas, but I am confident that it's ready now. I appreciate any kind of feedback from you to guide me in the right development direction from here.
Enjoy!

Show HN: Time Portal – Get dropped into history, guess where you landed (Score: 150+ in 4 hours)

Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6qQv4
Hi HN! I love imagining the past, so I made Time Portal, a game where you are dropped into a historical event and see AI video footage from that moment. You have to guess where you are in time and on the map. It’s like GeoGuessr (and heavily inspired by it!) but for historical events.
The videos are all created with AI. It’s a pipeline of Flux (images), Kling (video), and mmaudio (audio). The videos aren’t always historically accurate to the last detail. They might incorporate elements of folklore or have details from popular beliefs about the way things looked rather than the latest academic research on how they looked.
I’m thinking a lot about how to make the game more interactive. One thing that makes Geoguessr so fun for me is that you can move infinitely and always find more details to help you pinpoint the location. I want Time Portal to have a similar quality. I have a few ideas to try soon that will hopefully make the game more interactive and infinite.
