Show HN: Proxmox -> Share your host’s Bluetooth with a VM over the network
TL;DR: Bluetooth passthrough to a Proxmox VM fails for Intel onboard chips (BE200, AX210, AX211 – by hardware design, no setting fixes it) and is unreliable on gaming distros like ChimeraOS and Bazzite. This tool shares the host’s Bluetooth with the VM over the network instead – two commands, works with any chip Linux supports, […]

Rauno’s Field Notes #2
Rauno’s Field Notes #2 Vercel Project Cards I started by tweaking the padding and co-located information to reduce the vertical space occupied by each card. Some data was also omitted, for example we realised that we don’t need to show the project branch on the card which is generally always ”main”. It’s important to understand […]
Wind turbine is being used to produce zero-carbon ”green ammonia” fertilizer
A Minnesotan wind turbine shows that wind energy can produce more than just electricity. Various global industries are racing to decarbonize their operations, but many have historically struggled to do so. The agricultural sector is among those actively working toward clean alternatives. The University of Minnesota’s West Central Research and Outreach Center (WCROC) uses the […]
Bringing PyTorch Monarch to AMD GPUs
Featured projects Training state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) with billions of parameters requires distributed training across hundreds or thousands of GPUs. At this scale, hardware failures are not exceptional events—they are expected. A single GPU memory error, network partition, or node crash can bring down an entire training run that has been progressing for days […]
The whole premise of checking for human writing is daft
I understand why people want you to write; because it’s good for you, because it focuses a wandering thought, because the first sentence is usually rubbish and the seventh is often better, because you learn cadence and structure and argument through repetition, because there are things you don’t know you believe until you try to […]
Engineering management after the cost of code collapsed
I have been a director of engineering for a bit over three years now, and I still hear and read what I call the ”old rules” repeated over and over: a director should not spend time coding, good work takes time, protect the team from the business, get consensus before you commit, etc. For a […]
League of Legends designer shares game design field manual
I treat “game feel” and “how the game treats you” as one continuum, and this manual walks it from 33 milliseconds to seven years. Swink called the sensation of controlling a digital object the most overlooked phenomenon in HCI, and the field mostly stopped reading at a hundred milliseconds. The sensation of being governed by […]
The Fedora 45 Sausage Factory
This is a walkthrough of how Fedora turns source code and packages into the artifacts you download and install. It follows the a package from a packager’s git push to a composed release: ISOs, cloud images, container images, and OSTree deployments. The walkthrough describes how the Fedora ‘sausage’ is created as of Fedora 45, things […]
