Show HN: ViruSaas – Virus Checks as a Service Hi all, here is a side project I've just launched which might come in handy for certain situations. It's a very simple and free "do one thing and do it well" online service with exactly one feature: you upload a file, and it tells you — based on a ClamAV check — if that file contains a virus or not. I'm not having any ambitious plans with this project, but thanks to very low operational costs, I thought I can as well put it out there and keep it alive — maybe it's even useful for some people every now and then (just today, one of my coworkers forwarded me a fishy-looking email with an attachment, and using virusaas.com turned out to be the least painful way to do this kind of one-off check for a virus). I've also released the source code of the web app under GPLv3 at https://ift.tt/CyuZtao , although it's not as polished as it could be (no tests, for example — but see above, no ambitious plans). The main reason to do the project was to follow through with my own tutorial at https://ift.tt/jzxpnvo... , which worked out quite nicely. https://ift.tt/Z47qbgM September 14, 2022 at 05:19PM

Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
