Show HN: Tansu – Kafka Compatible Broker Transforms Proto/Avro/JSON into Parquet

Hacker News - Thu, 04/10/2025 - 7:49am

What is it?

- Tansu is an Kafka compatible broker with S3 or PostgreSQL storage - Broker schema validation of Proto/Avro/JSON backed topics - Proto/Avro/JSON backed topics are also written as Parquet record batches for easy ingestion by downstream tooling

Step by step tutorial: https://blog.tansu.io/articles/parquet

Tansu is written in async Rust with the Tokio runtime. We build a single static linked binary that contains the broker, proxy and admin/utility commands in ~60MB. Also available as a from scratch docker container.

The Kafka protocol is implemented with serde using proc macros to transform the JSON definitions into Rust data types (https://blog.tansu.io/articles/serde-kafka-protocol).

Proto/Avro/JSON is converted into Apache Arrow data types, and then into Apache Parquet with a sprinkle of Apache Datafusion.

We also have an example of it running on fly.io with tigris (https://blog.tansu.io/articles/fly-with-tigris) that scales brokers back to 0 between requests.

Looking forward to any feedback and hope that Tansu can improve your workflow!

Show HN: Remarking – like Twitter/Bluesky but by appending to a single text file

Hacker News - Thu, 04/10/2025 - 7:49am

Remark.ing is a microblogging site that aggregates markwhen[0] documents. A markwhen document is just a collection of dated entries in a single file. So, with remarking, each of those dated entries gets its own "post" that has its own url and comments and whatnot. It's like handwriting RSS. And your home feed is a chronologically sorted list of those entries from different documents. That's it!

Remarking has its own UI for posting and writing but is backed by the documents you choose to upload/share in meridiem[1]. So you can still use meridiem to add stuff in the future, edit previous posts, etc.

The motivation here is really that microblogging sites need not be anything more than interweaved journals, which is what this is. You can backfill experiences that you want to remember, schedule posts in the future, all with a single text file.

Show HN: BroadcastDetector – Detect Network Loops and ARP Spoofing in Real-Time

Hacker News - Thu, 04/10/2025 - 7:49am

Hi HN!

I'm excited to share a project I’ve been working on: *BroadcastDetector* – a lightweight tool for real-time detection of *switch loops*, *network loops*, *ARP spoofing*, and *broadcast storms*.

It passively analyzes your network for unusual patterns using `tcpdump` and `pyshark`, identifies loops and spoofing attacks, and alerts you before they cause real damage.

Key features: - Detects broadcast storms and switch/network loops - Monitors and alerts on ARP spoofing activity - Logs events to CSV (MAC, VLAN, timestamp, etc.) - Web dashboard for live traffic & alerts - Designed for Linux, optimized for Raspberry Pi 4/5 - Runs fully local – no cloud, no external API

Use cases: - Homelabs & data centers - Diagnosing faulty switches or misconfigured loop protection - Monitoring ARP spoofing in enterprise networks

Installation: You can install it manually on Debian/Raspbian *or flash a ready-to-go Pi image*. Here's the download & demo page: https://itfourall.com/broadcast.php

The goal is to make network loop detection simple and accessible – especially for small teams and IT admins who usually don’t have deep visibility into what's happening on Layer 2.

Happy to answer questions or get feedback from the community – especially around performance optimizations or edge cases you’ve encountered in network environments.

Thanks!

– IT fourAll
