WireHole offers a unified docker-compose project that integrates WireGuard, PiHole, and Unbound, complete with a user interface. This solution is designed to empower users to swiftly set up and manage either a full or split-tunnel WireGuard VPN. It features ad-blocking capabilities through PiHole and enhanced DNS caching and privacy options via Unbound. The intuitive UI makes deployment and ongoing management straightforward, providing a comprehensive VPN solution with added privacy features.

Ask HN: Why is there no modern successor to the 3D Pinball games of yesteryear?

I recall games like Full Tilt! Pinball and the 3D pinball game included in Windows were pretty popular and good showcases for the speed and quality of computer graphics back in the 90s. Then it occured to me that modern GPUs like the nVidia 4090 would be incredible for simulating a pinball machine with insane fidelity using RTX ray tracing and the optimized physics simulator (PhysX) they have. You could probably end up with something that truly looks and feels like the real thing. I'm certainly no expert on the subject, but after doing a quick search on Steam, I don't see anything like that on the market. Why do you think that is? Would it really be so hard to do? Wouldn't that be popular? I know I'd love to see it just because it would be such a great showcase for the power of modern machines, especially the integration of super realistic physics. Imagine bumping the machine hard to cheat? Or being able to smash the glass with a hammer and then put objects in the case and see what happens to them while you play? Could also be an amazing physics education thing if you could see real-time free-body diagrams overlaid on the ball that you could freeze in time and study showing all the forces acting on it. You could turn a dial and see what it would be like to play pinball on the moon! I hope someone sees this and makes it!

Show HN: Leporello.js – interactive functional programming IDE for JavaScript

Hi! Leporello.js is an interactive functional programming environment designed for pure functional subset of JavaScript. It executes code instantly as you type and displays results next to it. Leporello.js also features an omnipresent debugger. Just position your cursor on any line or select any expression, and immediately see its value. Leporello.js visualizes a dynamic call tree of your program. Thanks to the data immutability in functional programming, it allows you to navigate the call tree both forward and backward, offering a time-travel-like experience. Leporello.js offers the ability to develop HTML5 applications interactively, enabling you to update your code without losing the application's state. It records an IO trace of your program, which is then transparently replayed during subsequent program executions. This allows you to instantly reexecute your code after making small tweaks, thereby tightening your feedback loop. Furthermore, Leporello.js can serve as an interactive notebook. You have the flexibility to utilize any JavaScript libraries to visualize your data directly within your code. For a more detailed walkthrough, please watch the product video. Currently, Leporello.js is available as a free online application that you can try right in your browser. My goal is to build the Leporello.js standalone Electron app and a VSCode plugin, both with TypeScript support. Additionally, I plan to add Node.js support (currently, Leporello.js is only for HTML5 apps). In the VSCode plugin, Leporello.js will sit on top of the built-in TypeScript/JavaScript mode, utilizing its code analysis information to enhance the default VSCode experience with unique Leporello.js features. I am building Leporello.js as a single independent developer. Leporello.js is funded solely by donations. Support me on Github Sponsors [0] and be the first to gain access to the Leporello.js Visual Studio Code plugin with TypeScript support. I'll be delighted to answer any questions you may have.
