Show HN: Local RAG on 25 Years of Teletext News A fully local Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) implementation for querying 25 years of Swiss Teletext news (~500k articles in German language) — no APIs, no data leaving your machine. Why? I thought it's a cool type of dataset (short/high density news summaries) to test some local RAG approaches. https://ift.tt/QIWNzVh April 2, 2026 at 01:24AM

Show HN: Canon PIXMA G3010 macOS driver, reverse-engineered with Claude Canon doesn't provide a working macOS driver for the PIXMA G3010. I was stuck using Canon's iPhone app for all printing and scanning. I pointed Claude Code at a packet capture from the iPhone app and it reverse-engineered Canon's proprietary CHMP protocol, wrote a pure Rust eSCL-to-CHMP bridge daemon, and built a .pkg installer. My role was the physical parts: capturing packets, testing on the printer, confirming Image Capture worked. The protocol docs in docs/ are probably the first public documentation of Canon's CHMP protocol. https://ift.tt/xwOpiDG April 1, 2026 at 11:58PM

Show HN: Flight-Viz – 10K flights on a 3D globe in 3.5MB of Rust+WASM I built a real-time flight tracker that renders 10,000+ aircraft on an interactive 3D globe, entirely in the browser using Rust compiled to WebAssembly. https://flight-viz.com April 1, 2026 at 11:04PM
