Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
https://github.com/trypromptly/LLMStack - started working on this as a wrapper over OpenAI's endpoints for another product and it gradually became this.
Another project I worked on for my own use was a network isolated, lightweight video monitoring system. Around 5 years ago, I was looking to install a camera in our living room. I couldn't find anything I trusted that worked completely offline without some companion app pinging their servers. So I bought a basic IP camera on Amazon that supports rtsp and a raspberry pi. Created a fenced wifi network and added the camera to it.
Had an FFmpeg process read camera stream on demand and write to local buffers. Wrote a simple python server to listen for incoming connections on a different interface and stream the video on API requests. Then built an android app that talks to the python server to stream video on demand.
Also installed motion (https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion) on raspberry pi to detect motion in the video and store those snippets to local storage. With motion running, the adapter I was using wasn't delivering enough power resulting in storage occasionally unmounting and raspberry pi restarting taking the camera system offline. With motion detection disabled, the entire setup ran reliably for many years.

The privacy loophole in your doorbell
We used https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion for crude version of that in our office closet datacenter.
It just detected movement, sent an email with video file attached and a link to stream.
No face detect AI but this is ancient software, and minimum effort to set up

I used a Pi 4 to create a baby cam.
I had a similar setup to see what my pet hedgehog was getting up to at night and I used motion to do motion detection on the stream and save videos when it happened. I think you can also set a script to run whenever motion is detected. Might be worth looking into.

Request for CCTV footage analytics software
I use Motion for my security camera... it only records motion if you want it to: https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion...

Debian based system to only view 4 CCTV streams on monitor?
You might consider Motion. It's reliable and uses little resources. It comes with a browser UI.

Google Search results polluted by buggy AI-written code frustrate coders
I started gathering domains to see for myself the state of the Internet
https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database
I have many observations.
One is that I cannot see aby useful amiga links. I had to manually search them for some time. Some parts of the old internet exist, but are buried.
Second is that spam sites are everywhere. Not only AI generator.
Next is that personal sites exist, but they are often boring. Also 'CV sites' are a waste of time for me. I wonder how many of them are fake.
Many sites have poorly set up HTML meta fields, title, description. How anybody is supposed to find them?
I prefer going to passionate personal site about programming tips that reading content farms. It is difficult to find such sites.

Show HN: OpenOrb, a curated search engine for Atom and RSS feeds
You can find many RSS feeds, links in my repository

It contains also domain lists, that include tag indicating, if it is personal, or not.

We Need to Rewild the Internet
I am running my personal web crawler since September of 2022. I gather internet domains and assign them meta information. There are various sources of my data. I assign "personal" tag to any personal website. I assign "self-host" tag to any self-host program I find.
I have less than 30k of personal websites.
Data are in the repository.
https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database
I still rely on google for many things, or kagi. It is interesting to me, what my crawler finds next. It is always a surprise to see new blog, or forgotten forum of sorts.
This is how I discover real new content on the Internet. Certainly not by google which can find only BBC, or techcrunch.

The internet is slipping out of our reach
Google will not be interested in fixing search. It also may not be possibile because of ai spam. They would like to invest in deep mind/bard/gemini than to fix technology that will be obsolete in a few years.
I have started scanning domains to see how many different places there are in the internet. Spoiler: Not many.
We could try to create curated open databases for links, forums, places, and links, but in ai era it will always be a niche.
Having said that I think that it is a good thing. If it is a niche it will not be spoiled by normal users expecting simple behavior, or corporations trying to control the output.
Start your blog
Start your curated lists of links.
Control your data. Share your data.

YaCy, a distributed Web Search Engine, based on a peer-to-peer network
There are already many project about search:
- https://www.marginalia.nu/
- https://searchmysite.net/
- https://lucene.apache.org/
- elastic search
- https://presearch.com/
- https://stract.com/
- https://wiby.me/
I think that all project are fun. I would like to see one succeeding at reaching mainstream level of attention.
I have also been gathering links meta data for some time. Maybe I will use them to feed any eventual self hosted search engine, or language model, if I decide to experiment with that.

A search engine in 80 lines of Python
I have myself dabbled a little bit in that subject. Some of my notes:
- some RSS feeds are protected by cloudflare. It is true however that it is not necessary for majority of blogs. If you would like to do more then selenium would be a way to solve "cloudflare" protected links
- sometimes even selenium headless is not enough and full blown browser in selenium is necessary to fool it's protection
- sometimes even that is not enough
- then I started to wonder, why some RSS feeds are so well protected by cloudflare, but who am I to judge?
- sometimes it is beneficial to cover user agent. I feel bad for setting my user agent to chrome, but again, why RSS feeds are so well protected?
- you cannot parse, read entire Internet, therefore you always need to think about compromises. For example I have narrowed area of my searches in one of my projects to domains only. Now I can find most of the common domains, and I sort them by their "importance"
- RSS links do change. There need to be automated means to disable some feeds automatically to prevent checking inactive domains
- I do not see any configurable timeout for reading a page, but I am not familiar with aiohttp. Some pages might waste your time
- I hate that some RSS feeds are not configured properly. Some sites do not provide a valid meta "link" with "application/rss+xml". Some RSS feeds have naive titles like "Home", or no title at all. Such a waste of opportunity
My RSS feed parser, link archiver, web crawler: https://github.com/rumca-js/Django-link-archive. Especially interesting could be file rsshistory/webtools.py. It is not advanced programming craft, but it got the job done.
Additionally, in other project I have collected around 2378 of personal sites. I collect domains in https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database/tree/ma... . These files are JSONs. All personal sites have tag "personal".
Most of the things are collected from:
https://nownownow.com/
https://searchmysite.net/
I wanted also to process domains from https://downloads.marginalia.nu/, but haven't got time to read structure of the files

Is Google Getting Worse? A Longitudinal Investigation of SEO Spam in Search [pdf]
On the other hand it is not 1995. Time has moved on. I wrote a Simple RSS feed, that also serves as search engine for bookmarks.
I am able to run it in attick on raspberry pi. We do not have to rely so heavily on google.
https://github.com/rumca-js/Django-link-archive
It is true that it does not serve me as google, or kagi replacement. It is a very nice addition though.
With a little bit off determination I do not have to be so dependent on google.
Here is also a dump of known domains. Some are personal.
https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database
...and my bookmarks
https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database
Some more years, and google can go to hell.
