Show HN: I wrote a new BitTorrent tracker in Elixir (Score: 151+ in 4 hours)

Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6wpGF
Hello everyone!
I'm currently in a journey to learn and improve my Elixir and Go skills (my daily job uses C++) and looking through my backlog for projects to take on I decided Elixir is the perfect language to write a highly-parallel BitTorrent tracker.
So I have spent my free time these last 3 months writing one! Now I think it has enough features to present it to the world (and a docker image to give it a quick try).
I know some people see trackers as relics of the past now that DHT and PEX are common but I think they still serve a purpose in today's Internet (purely talking about public trackers). That said there is not a lot going on in terms of new developments since everyone just throws opentracker in a vps a calls it a day (honorable exceptions: aquatic and torrust).
I plan to continue development for the foreseeable future and add some (optional) esoteric features along the way so if anyone currently operates a tracker please give a try and enjoy the lack of crashes.
note: only swarm_printout.ex has been vibe coded, the rest has all been written by hand.

To try it out, simply build the project yourself from source, or use attached bootable ISO image of the system (in Releases on Github) and run it in QEMU.

Show HN: Unregistry – “docker push” directly to servers without a registry (🔥 Score: 155+ in 3 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6wkLX
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6wkLX
I got tired of the push-to-registry/pull-from-registry dance every time I needed to deploy a Docker image.
In certain cases, using a full-fledged external (or even local) registry is annoying overhead. And if you think about it, there's already a form of registry present on any of your Docker-enabled hosts — the Docker's own image storage.
So I built Unregistry [1] that exposes Docker's (containerd) image storage through a standard registry API. It adds a `docker pussh` command that pushes images directly to remote Docker daemons over SSH. It transfers only the missing layers, making it fast and efficient.

Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6wmHe
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6wmHe
I kept slamming into Claude Code limits mid-session and couldn’t find a quick way to see how close I was getting, so I hacked together a tiny local tracker.
Streams your prompt + completion usage in real time
Predicts whether you’ll hit the cap before the session ends
Runs 100 % locally (no auth, no server)
Presets for Pro, Max × 5, Max × 20 — tweak a JSON if your plan’s different
GitHub: https://github.com/Maciek-roboblog/Claude-Code-Usage-Monitor
It’s already spared me a few “why did my run just stop?” moments, but it’s still rough around the edges. Feedback, bug reports, and PRs welcome!
