Ask HN: How to make international phone call from PC without skype?
Like others, I've been using Skype for years to make phone calls to landlines over the internet. E.g. to reach a helpline or hotel.
Now that Skype is getting killed, I desperately need a replacement. In the thread [1], people suggested using viber.com or mobilevoip.com The former, asked for a phone number for sign-up and failed when I provided mine. The latter seems to be Android/iOS only.
Any alternative? Will Teams give me this feature? I wouldn't even know how to reach my bank's helpline while traveling without Skype.

Ask HN: Front end stack for a new app in 2025
I read "The Frontend Treadmill" (https://polotek.net/posts/the-frontend-treadmill/) and it makes me think a lot.
I used to be a backend developer, and most of my experience is there. For frontend, last time I used jQuery and it was OK for me. Simple and worked fine. Now I want to build new side project and I think maybe vanilla JS is best? JavaScript has many good features now and browsers can do many things.
1. Can vanilla JS work for medium-sized apps in 2025? 2. What small libraries would you add if needed?
I don't want to rewrite everything in 2-3 years when frameworks change again. This seems like a waste of time. Has anyone here stopped using big frameworks and feels better about it?

Show HN: Yet Another Rust SSG
A personal journey into Rust through building a simple static site generator. "Yet Another Rust SSG" is not a production-ready tool—it’s a learning project born from curiosity and the desire to build something real in Rust. In this article, I share how I created a basic static site generator from scratch, what I learned about Rust along the way, and why sometimes building your own primitive tools is more rewarding than using polished ones.

Ask HN: Are there AIs that are trained only on free and open source datasets?
Title edit: *Whose licenses are all compatible with one another in a lowest common denominator license, like GPLv3 or later.
That way, if I use their output, I can just say "Copyright License 2025, license compatible with all the training datasets like gplv3 or later, copyright attribution given to everyone whose dataset has been used in the training" but not in such a layman writing, but with a proper LICENSE file and CREDITS file. (Or do I need a AUTHORS file instead of CREDITS?) And I'll just put the license and credits in the source code file (which will be just one large file with all the code).
And please don't tell me that AI output is public domain even if the training datasets aren't, because it wouldn't hurt me to add a compatible license with all the training datasets and a CREDITS or AUTHORS or similar file for copyright attribution other than take up a few more kilobytes of space and IANAL.
