Tell HN: GitHub refuses to remove cracked copies of my software after a month
2026-10-06 @ 18:54:01Points: 103Comments: 74
Many people are asking AI models to take the Javascript code from my website, remove all ads from it, and they publish such a "new product" on Github for everyone to download.
There exist tens of such repositories on Github. I want my website to be the only source of a stable version of my program Photopea. I even received emails from people complaining about something in Photopea, and it took several emails to figure out that they are not using Photopea.com (so it ruins my reputation a little).
I reported it to Github on the 4th of September 2026: https://www.photopea.com/g/XKoqqIGv
Today, a month later, I received this response:
Thank you for submitting a DMCA takedown notice. We've reviewed the information you've provided, and based on the facts presented to us, we're unable to confirm a violation of 17 U.S. Code § 1201.
What do you think I could do? Do you think I should look for a lawyer to deal with it outside the digital world? I really doubt that a real person ever looked at my report, and they probably send this response automatically to 99% of people.

Show HN: I turned my iPhone and a $20 smart plug into an f-stop timer
2026-10-06 @ 13:58:07Points: 78Comments: 30
So I built Darkplug around a cheap smart plug. The app controls the enlarger over the local network and does regular timing, f-stop timing, test strips, has an intuitive dodge/burn workflow, split grade (2 timing channels) and paper development timing.
I’ve been using it for a few months in my improvised bathroom darkroom.
Fair warning: the app was blindly vibe coded using Codex and Xcode.

Ask HN: Are there AI models for generating sounds based on a text and reference?
2026-10-05 @ 23:24:44Points: 26Comments: 12
Right now having a multimodal inputs to image or text output is a commodotized, solved problem. IE you can put a prompt for some image and use a reference image to guide the model on what you want. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words right?
Ive also used a text and audio input in order to get a text description or classification out.
I cannot for the life of me find a solution for Audio + text -> Audio
My usecase is that I'm trying to generate new sound effects based on a source that doesn't have that many clean examples and thought this would be just another solved workflow but I'm not finding much. Tried elevenlabs SFX but it's only text->audio and without the reference, it's hard to guide with just text and recreate a sound with any accuracy. I tried the Stable Audio 3 model which is supposed to do what I want but the results were terrible. This modality seems to be stuck where image generation was in 2016. Is there something else or is this just not a common need?
