https://uptimefunk.com - (Yet) Another Uptime Monitoring Service. Couldn't find an easy setup uptime monitoring service with some advanced features, so i built one. The features i missed in existing tools: - monitoring databases (sql, mongodb) with simple queries, checking rabbitmq queues, checking OS memory and disk space. - monitoring private resources not exposed on the internet and/or on private networks.

This is mostly to deter malicious behavior because it makes it unprofitable for bad actors to publish malware by spamming the store with dumb apps that are only life-support systems for their little packages of joy. It's a high enough bar to trip up a lot of bad actors, but low enough that it's a simple annoyance for most of us. But yeah, reason 4,590,234,761 why people who misbehave make things more expensive/diffic…
Interesting $5 one time is high enough bar for Chrome extensions store, but $5/mo. is not for bots on certain blue social media. Not disputing facts, just... weird.
Last I checked Twitter/X had no way to prevent you from signing up again after a ban if you paid via Apple Pay, as an example.

#426Calzone is a Chrome extension for converting between timezones, just by highlighting text. It runs purely client-side. Helps me schedule international meetings when writing emails. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/calzone/ahnbgncjjn...

#427https://alex.miller.garden/sonic-circuit/ A weird and cumbersome web based synthesizer. In the examples below, double click on a node to trigger a signal in the circuit and produce sound. Here is a "song" that a friend made with it: https://alex.miller.garden/sonic-circuit/?2.9.C4.m.1.15,6.9....

#429My NAS has a load of files dumped onto it over the years. Instead of spending a couple weekends sorting through it like a sane person, I'm making something to automatically index it using the metadata already there.
The goal for marver is to index my NAS and extract as much metadata as it can, then display that in a pretty UI that gives the user multiple ways to refine the metadata, search through their files and make the most of the piled up 1s and 0s they have rotting on a HDD somewhere.
So far I've mostly just been having fun making individual pieces and playing with machine learning (CLIP is really cool!). Right now I'm porting the machine learning code to rust one model at a time so I can bundle the whole app into a single compact docker container, and on the way I get to learn how the black boxes I'm using actually work.
I've tried similar self-hosted apps but they all either have mediocre UI, are painful to setup, or make me add metadata that is already there, just not easily parsed by machines. I want something that most people can deploy in a few minutes and that can get 95% of the way there on its own, while still letting the user refine the results from automated approaches when it inevitably falls flat on its face with edge cases.
It's still far from complete, but my NAS has annoyed me enough recently that I'm starting to focusing on a version that can be deployed, even if it's missing most of the features I want to add. I think once that happens it'll be easier to add features because I can immediately get value from them with, instead of having to slowly struggle towards a functional release.
