Show HN: I made a Raspberry with Qwen my local car AI Found that you can actually run a 35B Qwen model on a Pi with very impressive intelligence and stability. Built connectors for car ODB to read all about car internals, and manufacturer's cloud service for stuff like changing AC or opening/ locking doors. Gave it info such as the full car manual. And then hooked it up with my other agents in our discussion room! So now it can answer car questions such as "when should I add oil and what kind of oil?" and help you fully offline, and when online talk with the agent family that includes all the most powerful models so they know how the car is, plan new features and develop itself with them. For example, if car breaks and can't move the car agent informs my agent family and they can already look for a suitable train ticket without me needing to check things or do something. https://ift.tt/9SMaLvI August 25, 2026 at 08:50PM

Show HN: LatticeDB – Like SQLite but for graph databases We have been using graph DBs more and more at work. I found them painful to work with locally and decided to try and build something better. https://ift.tt/zwQe9W6 August 25, 2026 at 10:22PM

Show HN: Scant helps you find barely used Python dependencies I made scant to find barely used Python dependencies in any repo. There are many dependency finder tools today that help you find unused dependencies (e.g. deptry). Scant, however, helps find the dependencies that are used in a single file on one line of code. Why have an entire library imported into your project when it is 'scantily' used? Some use cases: - you need to upgrade python versions for a large repo and you're stuck on an unmaintained old dependency from 2018 - you'd like to minimize the supply-chain attack surface area of your repo - you're looking for a ways to reduce dependency hell I asked Claude to write it in Rust. It's available on pypi and I've field-tested it against 11 open source python repos: https://ift.tt/bmSG1W2 https://ift.tt/3WmDRHB August 24, 2026 at 11:31PM

Show HN: Civic Nightmare –Browser JRPG about a citizen in a savage civilization Observing the world as it turns, I created Civic Nightmare, a small browser-based JRPG that explores the absurdity of contemporary politics. I've included many characters such as: Trump, Putin, Macron, Lagarde, Musk, etc., who become characters within the same surreal world, with different dialogues and minigames built around their public personas and none of them is really spared. The game runs in the browser, was created with Godot, and is open source (contributions are welcome). It's a small experiment, but I'm happy to continue it; ultimately, it portrays a simple citizen in the midst of a savage civilization. https://ift.tt/P5nZGI9 August 23, 2026 at 11:40PM

Show HN: dav-next – Nginx module – small and fast Nextcloud file server This project is part of a much broader personal project that will eventually be published. Alpine packages are available on the project repository and, hopefully soon, on Alpine's own repository. https://ift.tt/G2Fnwr7 August 23, 2026 at 09:02PM
