Project mention: Checking all accounts associated with my email address? | /r/PrivacySecurityOSINT | 2023-11-12In the interest of cleaning my digital life a bit I really want to delete all of my old accounts that I no longer use. The terminal application "Sherlock" on github can search for instances of a username you input and find associated websites. Sherlock
curl https://cheat.sh/$1
tested the end points using httpie and sometime curl
yeah my code needs to use multiprocessing, which does not play nice with tqdm. thanks for the tip about positions though, that helped me search more effectively and came up with two promising comments. unmerged / require some workarounds, but might just work:

Project mention: CLI tools hidden in the Python standard library | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-29The cli tool [fire](https://github.com/google/python-fire/blob/master/docs/guide...) has a nifty feature where it can generate a cli for any file for you.
So random and math are somewhat usable that way
$ python -m fire random uniform 0 1
Project mention: click-web: Serve click scripts over the web (Python) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-13Context: "click" - "Command Line Interface Creation Kit" - easily create CLIs from Python code, via adding decorators: https://github.com/pallets/click
"click-web" in turn turns the click CLI app into a web app with one line of code.
Project mention: Show HN: Synced lyrics database with a free, easy-to-use API | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-23I was always frustrated that there is no solid source for synced lyrics that also offers decent API support. There is good ol' Crintsoft's MiniLyrics that is thankfully free software, was what I used a lot in my childhood, but unfortunately the API is highly obfuscated. Another popular choice is the Musixmatch API, which has a very large database of synced lyrics, but with "free" API that are reverse-engineered from their app, you will quickly run into rate-limit.
That's why I created LRCLIB. It's aimed to provide completely free synchronized lyrics for everyone, especially for FOSS music players, with zero profit intention. It currently has nearly 3,000,000 (not deduplicated) lyrics in database. You can also contribute to the database by adding and syncing lyrics for your favorite songs using the LRCGET client.
I'm trying my best to make LRCLIB server-side code open-source as soon as possible. But right now, full LRCLIB's database dumps have already been uploaded regularly and publicly, which are simply sqlite3 files. Feel free to download, look at or do anything you want with the database at https://lrclib.net/db-dumps.
Many open-source projects have already begun integrating LRCLIB, including:
- beets - music library metadata management (https://github.com/beetbox/beets)
It doesn't look like Streamlink is immune to the challenges of Twitch ads: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/4949
Use pipx to install Cog and my aws-sso-config-builder tool in the same environment:

xonsh – Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell
Conan is a package manager for C/C++. See: https://conan.io/.
The way it works is that you can provide "recipes", which are Python scripts, that automate the process of collecting source code (usually from a remote Git repository, or a remote source tarball), patching it, making its dependencies and transitive dependencies available, building for specific platform and architecture (via any number of build systems), then packaging up and serving binaries. There's a lot of complexity involved.
Here are the two recipes I mentioned:
libcurl: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/master/r...
OpenSSL v3: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/master/r...
Now, for the sake of this thread I want to highlight three things here:
- Conan recipes are usually made by people unaffiliated with the libraries they're packaging;
- The recipes are fully Turing-complete, do a lot of work, have their own bugs - therefore they should really be treated as software comonents themselves, for the purpose of OSS clearing/supply chain verification, except as far as I know, nobody does it;
- The recipes can, and do, patch source code and build scripts. There's supporting infrastruture for this built into Conan, and of course one can also do it by brute-force search and replace. See e.g. ZLib recipe that does it both at the same time:
https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/7b0ac710... -- `_patch_sources` does both direct search-and-replace in source files, and applies the patches from https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/tree/master/r....
Now, good luck keeping track of what's going on there.
