Show HN: Rentaflop – Render your Blender projects without sacrificing quality https://bit.ly/3zlMhKL

Show HN: Rentaflop – Render your Blender projects without sacrificing quality Hi HN, My name is David Sokol, and I'm the founder of rentaflop (https://bit.ly/3bnmMAv). We're a crowdsourced render farm aimed at making Blender rendering fast and affordable. If you've used Blender, then I'm sure you've experienced the pain of waiting around for your animations to render. You've probably even had to sacrifice the quality of your work to reduce your render times. I've been there too. If you're like me, then you're also disappointed with the alternative solutions: spending thousands of dollars on graphics cards or using prohibitively expensive cloud render farms to get fast render times. Our solution to this dilemma is to leverage low opportunity cost hardware from around the world to allow Blender artists to render their projects quickly, affordably, and without compromising on quality. Since most graphics card owners aren't utilizing their hardware to do valuable work 24/7, we provide them with a way to make money without lifting a finger, while lowering the cost curve for 3D rendering. We're currently doing a private beta. If you'd like to get early access, check out our site (https://bit.ly/3bnmMAv) and join the waitlist. If you're a graphics card owner who wants to help Blender artists while earning money, reach out to support@rentaflop.com and we'll help you get set up. Please leave a comment below, we'd love to hear your thoughts :) July 31, 2022 at 11:59PM

Show HN: Ordinary Puzzles, a free puzzle game inspired by Picross and Sudoku Hello hello HN! I wanted to share with you Ordinary Puzzles, a little puzzle game I designed and developed in my free time, inspired by Picross and Sudoku. I already posted it here ages ago, but I wanted to share it again now that I updated it to also be playable online as a Progressive Web App. Ordinary Puzzles is open source, is built with React Native, and it’s available on the mobile app stores, on the web (as a PWA), and as an Electron app. Hope you give it a try! (Please don’t skip the short tutorial :P) https://bit.ly/3bf66vi P.S.: The puzzles come from https://bit.ly/3bf67iQ (the author is credited and has been contacted before using them). https://bit.ly/3cX0eY0 July 31, 2022 at 06:31PM

Show HN: I've been making JavaScript sandbox alone for 6 years Hi HN! Thanks for your attention to my post. It was a big challenge to run most of Node.js packages in browser, fast moreover. Virtual File system, resolve import/export. I got cold many times, depressions, burned out, yet still alive and finished it. Many guys helped me with an advice. Many users give a lot of positive feedback. There are 200,000 monthly unique users. I work full time now because of the freemium business model. To be honest - I am happy after many years of hard work. https://bit.ly/3cIevrd July 31, 2022 at 05:27AM

Show HN: SSHScript – shell script-like Python script https://bit.ly/3vuWHq7

Show HN: SSHScript – shell script-like Python script I have many Python scripts which run commands and deal with outputs on localhost and remote hosts. Between these scripts, there are many common routines. Eg. making ssh connections, execution and collecting data. Based on the subprocess and Paramiko, I created the SSHScript. With it, I could embed shell commands in Python scripts. This kind of script is converted to a regular Python script by SSHScript for execution . Working with SSHScript, I feel like writing shell scripts with Python and all Python packages. For backend engineers who want to automate tasks with Python scripts instead of shell script s , hope you enjoy the SSHScript. https://bit.ly/3vthjit July 30, 2022 at 10:28AM

Show HN: OxideDB – Teach PostgreSQL Database How to Speak MongoDB Wire Protocol https://bit.ly/3OCwFrK

Show HN: OxideDB – Teach PostgreSQL Database How to Speak MongoDB Wire Protocol Hey everyone! I have created a product that relies on MongoDB for a document store but doesn't really need any of the distributed features to really justify having a hosted MongoDB or DocumentDB instance. Now that we're trying to turn this into a product, we're seeing that some companies have a little bit of resistance around managing yet another database. Most of our clients already have and manage PostgreSQL in one form or another. I knew that PostgreSQL already offered first class JSON support, but I didn't want to rewrite the application data layer from scratch if I could avoid it. That's when I started researching if there was a "proxy" that would translate the MongoDB protocol - that I was completely ignorant about - into PostgreSQL. To my surprise there was nothing ready for production use but I found MangoDB that later on became FerretDB. I delved into the code and was in love with the idea. The team around is really nice, but I found that they had greater ambitions - they basically wanted to offer multiple backends, namely Tigris, on top of PostgreSQL. On the other hand, I have been waiting to find an excuse to delve deeply into the rust ecosystem but never really found something I was passionate about until I had the idea of challenging myself to see if I could learn about the protocol that MongoDB uses by relying on their public documentation and the hints I found on FerretDB. Fast forward 3 weeks and I have something I am almost comfortable on sharing yet super excited to get feedback on. It's in very early stages, and it's work from someone that is not yet super comfortable with the stack. Please don't be too harsh and keep in mind this is the beginning of a journey for me that I embarked out of pure joy on getting a tiny bit better on rust and making things click internally. Thank you for your time and if you would like to help me on this project please be more than welcome to reach out, either here, via email or directly on the GitHub repo. (heavy breathing before clicking submit :-) ) PS: I forgot to mention, but another thing I added to my toolbelt while developing this was about creating parsers. In order to transform MongoDB JSON to SQL queries, I ported an existing library from the MongoDB team from PEG.js to pest.rs! https://bit.ly/3PVKmmU July 29, 2022 at 02:55AM
