I made a little project called YoutubeTranscoder:

https://github.com/cashilysh/youtube-transcoder

The idea is pretty simple. You give it a file and it turns it into an 8K black and white video. You upload that video to YouTube, and later you can download it or even decode it directly from the YouTube stream and get the exact same file back.

I made it as an experiment to see if YouTube's compression would completely destroy the data. Surprisingly, it works.

It uses zfec for error correction and SHA-256 checksums to make sure the data survives YouTube's compression and that the recovered file is actually identical to the original.

It's a single Python file and works on both Linux and Windows.

Important: CPU encoding is currently too slow and doesn't survive YouTube's compression reliably. For now, NVIDIA GPU encoding is the only reliable option I've tested.

You can try it yourself with this test video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tljK1QxLLA0

The video contains a 40 MB ZIP file with some memes and videos. You can decode it directly from YouTube with:

python VideoTranscoder.py -d https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tljK1QxLLA0

Full disclosure, the entire project was made with Claude and DeepSeek, since I'm not a professional programmer. 😄

It's obviously not meant to replace proper cloud storage, but I thought it was a pretty fun experiment and could be interesting to data hoarders/file sharers.

I idemkit after cleaning up duplicate charges one too many times.

The version everyone writes checks whether a key has been seen and replays the stored response. Two requests a millisecond apart both find nothing and both charge the card. And if the worker dies between charging and recording it, the retry charges again. Neither reproduces locally.

idemkit does it properly: an atomic claim instead of check-then-act, a lease that expires on the storage server’s clock, and a fencing token so a stalled worker can’t overwrite a good result.

from idemkit import idempotent, RedisBackend, MethodConfig

@idempotent(
    backend=RedisBackend.from_url(“redis://localhost:6379”),
    config=MethodConfig(key_fields=[“order_id”]), 
) 
async def charge(*, order_id, amount): 
    return await payments.charge(order_id, amount) 

One core, three ways to use it: middleware for FastAPI/Flask/Django, a queue consumer wrapper or @idempotent on any function. Backends are Redis, Postgres, Mongo, DynamoDB, or in-memory for tests.

pip install idemkit, Apache-2.0: https://github.com/idemkit/idemkit

If you find it useful, I’d appreciate a star. It’s new, so visibility helps a lot right now.

You won't see chrome in the list, but you will see chromium and several of the most popular Chromium based browsers listed that probably aren't readily available in your distro's package manager - some will be, but what about the obscure, purpose built browsers, and those that support longstanding and traditional (or newer) protocols that were removed from the browsers with the biggest footprints in adoption?

This isn't they way it needs to be. In this cookbook style tutorial I'll show you how, step by step to install around 20+ different browsers and keep them updated. Based on Debian 14 (Forky), running kernel version 7.1.3+deb14-amd64. There's something here for you, and much to share with others too!

Hello 👋

I was frustrated by how difficult it was to send simple automated messages on Signal without diving into complex protocol specs. Most existing solutions felt too low-level for a quick project.

I made this SDK to wrap signal-cli. It uses a persistent JSON-RPC connection to keep things fast and includes a basic bot framework for routing commands.

It’s built with TypeScript and Node.js: https://github.com/benoitpetit/signal-sdk

I’d really appreciate some feedback on the architecture, especially how I’m managing the background process.

Managarr v0.7.0 has been released with Lidarr support!

What is Managarr?

Managarr is a terminal-based application for managing all your Servarr instances from one place. It provides a user-friendly interface to interact with your media libraries, making it easier to manage your downloads, monitor your artists and albums, and perform various actions directly from the terminal.

It sports two modes: a TUI mode (Text-based User Interface) and a CLI mode (Command Line Interface).

TUI mode gives you an interactive User Interface right inside your terminal window, allowing you to navigate through your Sonarr and Radarr libraries, view details about your series and movies, and perform actions like adding or removing items, all through keyboard shortcuts.

CLI mode lets you execute commands directly from the terminal to manage your Servarr instances without needing to open the TUI. This is great for quick tasks or for integrating with scripts and automation tools.

Screenshots

Try it out for yourself using the in-browser demo!

If you want to try it out for yourself without installing it first, you can use the Managarr demo-site: https://managarr-demo.alexjclarke.com/

Managarr also supports Radarr and Sonarr!

If you're running the full *arr stack, Managarr has you covered - It supports Radar and Sonarr too, all from the same interface!

This is a passion project so I'd love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or any bug reports you find.

Heavily inspired from the TRON Legacy movie effects (especially the Board Room sequence), the eDEX-UI project was originally meant to be "DEX-UI with less « art » and more « distributable software »".

While keeping a futuristic look and feel, it strives to maintain a certain level of functionality and to be usable in real-life scenarios, with the larger goal of bringing science-fiction UXs to the mainstream.

It might or might not be a joke taken too seriously.

Managarr v0.6.0 has been released with some fun new features!

Managarr is a terminal-based application for managing all your Servarr instances from one place. It provides a user-friendly interface to interact with your media libraries, making it easier to manage your downloads, monitor your series and movies, and perform various actions directly from the terminal.

It sports two modes: a TUI mode (Text User Interface) and a CLI mode (Command Line Interface).

TUI mode gives you an interactive User Interface right inside your terminal window, allowing you to navigate through your Sonarr and Radarr libraries, view details about your series and movies, and perform actions like adding or removing items, all through keyboard shortcuts.

CLI mode lets you execute commands directly from the terminal to manage your Servarr instances without needing to open the TUI. This is great for quick tasks or for integrating with scripts and automation tools.

The biggest change: Managarr now has themes!

The UI has been completely overhauled to support themes! You can now customize the look and feel of Managarr to suit your preferences. Choose from a variety of themes to change the color scheme and overall aesthetic of the application.

Here's just a few examples:

Default

Dracula

Watermelon Dark

You can also customize the themes to your heart's content! Check out the themes documentation for more details on how to create and apply your own themes.

Features

• Added support for alternative Vim-like navigation keybindings (hjkl movements) Discussion #34
• Added support for terminal-like backspace operations (Ctrl-h instead of Backspace)
• You can now specify the number of downloads to fetch from the CLI: managarr <sonarr/radarr> list downloads --count 1234
• You can now toggle movie monitoring from the CLI without needing to use the edit subcommand: managarr radarr toggle-movie-monitoring --movie-id 1234 #43
• You can also now toggle series monitoring from the CLI without needing to use the edit subcommand: managarr sonarr toggle-series-monitoring --series-id 1234 #43
• You can now also toggle movie/series monitoring directly from the Library view for each Servarr with the m key. No need to open the Edit [Series/Movie] modal anymore to simply toggle monitoring for an item! #43
• Users can now skip up/down tables 20 items at a time using Ctrl-d and Ctrl-u keys (mirroring the same functionality in the Helix editor). Alternatively, the standard PgUp and PgDown keys are supported for the same operation. This is particularly useful for large libraries with many items #45
• The total disk usage for any given series is now displayed in the Series Library view to mirror Radarr functionality #44
• All keybindings and help tips have been refactored into a unified, dynamic menu that displays the available keybindings for the current view. This is accessible by pressing ? in any view, and it will display the keybindings relevant to that view. #32
• Users can now add any number of custom headers to each Servarr's configuration, enabling support for OAuth and other custom authentication schemes for Servarr access #47

Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused the Collection Details modal to vanish when attempting to add a new film to a collection
• Fixed a bug that caused the Radarr library to be rendered, then the Collections table to be rendered over it (merging the two), and then showing a popup which made for ugly and confusing UI
• Wrapped Season.statistics with Option to prevent a panic if the season doesn't have any statistics (edge-case, only happens with outdated Sonarr data) #35
• Corrected a bug that caused double key presses on Windows machines #40 (Thanks @cwesleys!)
• Defaulted to empty tags to improve fault tolerance within the Sonarr and Radarr UIs. This is in response to #42, #48. It seems like this may be a bug in Sonarr where a series can have an associated tag ID but that tag Id doesn't exist in the list of tags, but I still can't quite track it down.
• Fixed an issue that caused some panics to occur when video codecs are undefined in file metadata #38
• More than 10 downloads will be listed in the Downloads tabs for both Radarr and Sonarr
• Fixed a bug where Sonarr would have empty values on season releases for seeders/leechers instead of '0'
• Fixed a bug where some Radarr films don't have studios associated with them, so the studio field is now nullable, preventing crashes when loading the Radarr library

Security Fixes

• Upgraded to the most recent version of Tokio to mitigate CWE-664 Improper Control of a Resource Through its Lifetime
• Updated to the most recent patch of OpenSSL to mitigate CWE-416 Use-After-Free

Minor Changes

• Due to the new support for Vim-like navigation keybindings, the system logs are now opened using L instead of l
• Refactored the network module to be more idiomatic Rust and to improve maintainability

Documentation

• Update README.md to remove the cheeky Try Before You Buy heading since some users reported it as misleading; i.e. they thought it meant Managarr cost money. Managarr is and always will be, free

As always, thank you to everyone who reported an issue or requested a feature! You all make it a LOT easier to keep up with breaking API and add new features. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please don't hesitate to open an issue or discussion on the GitHub repository.

I trained a TruncatedSVC model on almost all Github stars to create embeddings for all repositories with more than 150 stars. I figured that could be useful so I fed the data to a Qdrant vector store and built an extension on top of it.

It can be downloaded on Firefox or Chrome. Hope you like it!
