Show HN The Harbinger:an mTLS proxy that gives AI agents identity, not API keys
I built this as i thought this model could better to what other tools are doing. What do you guys think ?
Harbinger is an mTLS proxy that sits in front of an AI agent's outbound traffic. Every AI agent, bot, and service account gets a cryptographic identity. Every request it makes is checked against policy before it's allowed, and any real secret it needs is pulled from your own vault and swapped in only when the request is verified to be going where it claims. The agent itself never holds a standing credential.

Show HN: Aurora – Tiny Linux RGB Daemon for Legion Laptops
So I've been getting into more systems programming. I would appreciate some feedback on this project. For context, I have a Legion Pro 5 16ARX8 with a 4-zone RGB keyboard. I have been running NixOS as my development OS on another SSD, and the RGBs lose all their settings when I switch over.
I found a project called https://github.com/4JX/L5P-Keyboard-RGB, and it worked. The thing is, I don't like how it opens a window to take effect. I don't want to remember my RGB control software exists at all. It should just work, and I think it should feel native. So this project takes the driver and lighting controls of that upstream project and puts all the logic inside a Rust daemon that can run at startup.
From my testing, it's about 8x lighter than the original because the daemon is now decoupled from the GUI, so it uses way fewer resources and remains invisible. I also wanted it to feel native to Linux. I use GNOME, so I made a minimal GUI with GTK4/libadwaita. More GUI's can be made, however.
So the workflow now is to set up the daemon, open the GUI, adjust what you want, and close it. Simple. No RAM bloat or window that needs to stay open.
This project is new, so please feel free to open issues.
