    Your self hosted YouTube media server

  • I'm just annoyed that tubearchivist uses ES for that very reason. Half a gig of ram plus whatever else to archive YouTube videos? Seems excessive when all I need is a front-end that is bootstrapped, grid layout, with sort by/filter options (and possibly a search) that can download links with YouTube-dlp in the backend. But I can't find time to make my own.

    Meer is a "spooler" for Suricata / Sagan.

  • I'm really enjoying playing with Zinc. We've been playing with it in house here with Meer (https://github.com/quadrantsec/meer) and ingesting several gigs of Suricata (https://suricata.io) and Sagan (https://github.com/quadrantsec/sagan) logs.

  • Suricata

    Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine developed by the OISF and the Suricata community.

    Sagan is a multi-threads, high performance log analysis engine. At it's core, Sagan similar to Suricata/Snort but with logs rather than network packets. (by quadrantsec)
