Show HN: A file transfer protocol for after the internet dies
Built this for the day the internet and every normal way of moving a file stop being an option. Two webcams, QR codes flashing between them, nothing else. The protocol handles reliability with a sliding-window ACK/retry scheme, and does ECDH key exchange with fingerprint verification since a QR code on screen is about as public as a channel gets. Throughput lands around 20 KB/s, slow, but well, it's the only option when you need it. Live demo: https://stare.asilentpond.com Devlog on how it was built: https://youtu.be/q3fQZ-ZXqow

Ask HN: How long has it been since you last opened Stack Overflow?
As Claude Code, Codex, and other AI coding agents take up more and more of our daily work, I've noticed that I now spend most of my time writing specs, nailing down requirements, and talking to the agent, rather than actually poring over the details of the code.
Today, for some totally random reason, it suddenly hit me that I haven't opened Stack Overflow in a very, very long time, at least half a year. And that gives me a strange sense of loss. I used to open it almost every single day. It was there through more than a decade of my career, and somehow I managed to forget about it this fast.
So guys, for how long have you not opened Stack Overflow? And has anything else quietly dropped out of your workflow the same way, without you even noticing?
