Show HN: FileForge Finder: Local file search with AI-optimized export
2 by FileForge | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hope this sparks some conversation. Interested to get the community's take on an app we use internally to find files and provide targeted file content to chatbots. Biggest gains in search are for windows users but I am interested to get feedback from the spotlight users. With the AI export we originally used and MCP connector but when back to drag and drop export of file content due to security and universal applicability. No worries about your file security. Everything runs on-device and works offline. One click download at fileforge.com. Open to any feedback. Brent

Ask HN: How to deal with security implications of running/installing projects?

There are so many neat projects coming out on HN/Github, etc. But, it's so easy to inject back doors and malware into software projects now a days. I'm wondering how people deal with the secrutiy of this. Even if you install them under docker, if it's run by root it seems like there are ways they can get root access on the box. I see so many neat projects here I'd like to try out but I'm worried that I may install some malware or backdoored software on here. There are a few AI harnesses, terminals, etc. that keep coming up that look neat... but at the very least they'd be able to get your Claude credentials, if not worse. I'm just wondering with so much stuff coming out, most of it AI coded. Just wondering how people deal with it? What's the best sandbox way of testing it if that's the solution?

Disclaimer, I have not yet placed the order. But JLCPCB have so far excepted all files and config so I have 1 more button to press. If anyone see some obvious mistake please send feedback. This project grew out of curiosity. Loved the https://ift.tt/18t9Dqa project but that is on another level. Here I tried to stay "reasonable" and added a Raspberry Pico 2 W on the back to drive it all. But also, was curious if Claude could pull this off. Guess I will have to place that order to call the cards.

I've been in tech for 15 years now. A lot of what I loved about it has changed, and I'm now at a crossroads where I have an opportunity to leave and do something else. I ended each day of my old jobs exhausted, and never had the energy to do or try the things I thought I was interested in. I am now in my mid 30s and find myself with a ton of free time. But I am finding I have no idea what I want to do. Nothing that used to interest me interests me anymore. The things I think I might like I for whatever reason don't have the energy to do or try them. I feel like I've been in survival mode for so long I dont know what my passions are. How do I find them again?

I'm torn on this. Not infrequently, some random page I saw months ago will come to mind, and I'll use browser history to find it. More infrequently, I'll go even further back than that. And just for posterity, I enjoy having it all accessible. That said, it also makes me a bit nervous having it all there, especially synced to my Firefox account, for some hypothetical hacker, or discovery process, or who knows what. Got me thinking, I wouldn't be surprised if HN is as split between history savers and deleters as I am internally. Curious how you all handle it.
