Can I take a wild guess that you're using Firefox? I have noticed Firefox performance is much worse than any other browser. I think this is due to issues in the Angular and Materia…

Some of the features in your screenshots look interesting, but why is Cove closed source?

Or connect with trusted curators over a decentralized network, similar to the fediverse?

Bitmagnet may download metadata about CSAM content, which is automatically deleted with fairly high accuracy. You would never be redistributing it. No outgoing peer protocol is cur…

Incoming and outgoing are both limited, I think the worst such an attack could do is prevent responding to legitimate incoming queries - this shouldn't slow down the DHT crawler in…

Bitmagnet has rate limiting on incoming UDP requests (both overall and per-IP) so I don't know that it would be vulnerable; if there's anything else that should be done to mitigate…

I guess the takeaway is that a public torrent site can (probably) never be sustainable while acting in users' best interests?

I'm also open to more feedback, if there are specific areas that need attention let me know :)

I have worked with the8472 to get Bitmagnet's BEP5 & BEP51 implementations working and ensure it's a good citizen on the network - there is more to be done and more protocols to be…

Thanks - I only condone accessing the legal content available on BitTorrent, and my screenshots now embody this moral stance.

Author here. FWIW I wasn't intending this to make it onto HN, having posted about this on Lemmy looking for beta testers. The current version of the app is very much a preview. The…

I’ve been following efforts to create a clone of the RARBG website using the SQLite backup, but I figured it made more sense to self host a lightweight Torznab API that can leverag…

Why tsinject? Having used DI containers for other languages, I was looking for something simple with a clean functional interface. Most existing TypeScript solutions rely on decora…

This is a Scala re-implementation of the Chromaprint/AcoustID audio fingerprinting algorithm.

I had a few reasons for picking Chromaprint. I was interested in building a media player with Scala (still working on that on-and-off). I noticed that Python seemed to be a more po…

I agree it's a slightly quirky name. The "chroma" refers to chromatography. In order to create the finger"print", an image is first extracted from the audio. An image fingerprinter…

It's funny you say that, I learned it because I believe it's in demand commercially, and is also a joy to work with. I perceive that companies using Scala would be on average bette…

This has been my testbed project for learning Scala, I also learned a lot about audio analysis, signal processing, fourier transforms etc. There were already Python bindings for th…
