Fcron Is the Best Cron
I was annoyed by cron/fcron limitations and figured systemd is the way go because of its flexibility and power, but also was annoyed about manually managing tons of unit files. So I wrote a tool with a config that looks kinda like a crontab, but uses systemd (or launchd on mac) behind the scenes: https://github.com/karlicoss/dron#what-does-it-do
E.g. a simplest job definition looks like this
job(every(mins=10), 'ping https://beepb00p.xyz', unit_name='ping-beepb00p')

Ask HN: Share Your Personal Site
https://beepb00p.xyz I mostly write about data liberation, quantified self and knowledge management.
Some notable links:
https://beepb00p.xyz/myinfra.html -- map of my personal data infrastructure (usually people say I'm a bit mad after seeing this :) )
https://beepb00p.xyz/blog-graph.html -- a nice visual way to explore my posts
https://beepb00p.xyz/exobrain -- my "external brain", basically public notes/links dump

Graphviz: Open-source graph visualization software
Graphviz is awesome!
Here are a couple of my diagrams:
https://beepb00p.xyz/blog-graph.html -- graph of my blog pages with tags/connections between posts, generated with a DSL-ish python script https://github.com/karlicoss/beepb00p/blob/master/misc/index...
https://beepb00p.xyz/myinfra.html -- map of my personal data & infrastructure (discussed a year ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26269832 ). Also a similar DSL https://github.com/karlicoss/myinfra/blob/master/generate.py
The main downside for me is that sometimes it gets the positioning wrong, and you can see how it can be easily fixed, but it's hard to convince graphviz to actually do so. Basically I'd love a tool where I can do 10% of positioning manually and let the rest be constraint based like in graphviz.

3 YEARS On My Side Project!
I've learned so much while making this project into my personal website (dustinbrett.com). It's made me a much better web developer as I have tried to emulate a desktop environment with pixel perfect accuracy using CSS, HTML & JavaScript.

Unpopular Opinion: Desktop GUI is the most efficient and fulfilling way of Human-Computer Interaction
As someone who built a website around this idea, I agree! The desktop metaphor is powerful. If anyone wants to check it out it's at https://dustinbrett.com

Show HN: ExaequOS, a new OS running in a web browser
Very cool! It's always refreshing to see the "OS in the browser" projects that try and actually make something functional. I've been working on one myself for nearly 3 years now, called daedalOS (https://github.com/DustinBrett/daedalOS).
The WASM kernel idea is very cool and I hope one day to be able to add something similar to my project. I think you are onto something and I am excited to see your progress as you implement the GUI.

Os.js – open-source JavaScript web desktop platform with a window manager
If you want some Browserception, my desktop environment (https://dustinbrett.com/) can indeed do this. But after a few levels in Chromium you need to add a random query string (/?a=1) to the URL otherwise it stops working.
