The Terminator

A technical guide explains how to expose locally hosted HTTP services to the internet using SSH reverse tunnels paired with Nginx as a reverse proxy, without third-party tunneling services. The write-up covers configuration details, TLS termination and trade-offs of the self-hosted approach. Developers are discussing it as a free, privacy-friendly alternative to commercial tunnel providers like ngrok.

A new study covered by 404 Media concludes that the solar system is what researchers call terminally unstable, meaning its planetary orbits will eventually fall into chaos and the system will be completely destroyed. The findings underscore that the apparent clockwork stability of the planets is temporary on astronomical timescales. Readers are debating the physics behind long-term orbital simulations and what the timescales mean for Earth's distant future.

Reliance Retail and 7-Eleven have terminated their partnership to develop the American convenience store chain's business in India. The split ends plans to expand 7-Eleven stores across the country through Reliance's network. Commentary is questioning whether weak brand traction and positioning in the Indian market contributed to the collapse of the deal.

A developer has released Corral, an open-source tool aimed at killing every command that an AI coding agent starts. Shared on Hacker News as a Show HN project, it targets a growing concern as more developers hand command execution to autonomous agents and need a way to stop runaway processes quickly. Discussion centres on how to control and supervise agent-spawned commands on local machines.

Developer ahmetomerv has released Photoc, an open-source set of command-line tools aimed at photographers, hosted on GitHub and shared with the Hacker News community. The project lets photographers handle common photo workflows directly from the terminal. Discussion is early but the tool has drawn attention as a lightweight alternative to heavy photo-management software.

A senior Iranian cyber official has declared Starlink terminals operating in Iran to be "military targets," remarks that follow the unrest of January.

A new sci-fi action adaptation has been officially confirmed, with early coverage describing its premise as a blend of Terminator-style AI threats and Hunger Games-style dystopian competition. No further details on cast, studio or release date are available yet, and it remains unclear what source material the adaptation is based on.

The Atlarix CLI shipped version 15.0.0 introducing an AI agent in the terminal, followed quickly by the 15.0.1 release, which adds sub-agents, coloured code output and additional developer tooling improvements. Announced via the project's development blog, the update is being discussed among programmers interested in AI-assisted coding, with tags spanning productivity, software engineering and community topics.

The US Supreme Court has returned a case concerning the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan immigrants to a lower court. The dispute centers on the Trump administration's decision to end protections that had allowed hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans to live and work legally in the United States. The move prolongs uncertainty for Venezuelans facing potential loss of their legal status.
