meeb··on About half of Bandcamp employees have been laid off
Bandcamp is the only music service I purchase music on and do so regularly. It will be sorely missed if it gets modified or mismanaged into oblivion.

For anyone who wants to make sure they have a local copy of all of their Bandcamp purchases:

meeb··on Bandcamp has been sold to Songtradr. What does this mean for the musicians?
Thanks! Fixed in v0.3.3. Feel free to open an issue for stuff like that.

Of a similar nature, my weekend project last week:

https://github.com/meeb/bandcampsync

Does much the same thing, but it unpacks the zips and tracks the directories. It can run as a docker container which syncs your collection on a daily timer. The use case is to download your purchases to local directories for use with Jellyfin/Plex/etc. You can just buy music and it'll appear on your local media server automatically within a day.

meeb··on Philips Hue will soon force users to create an account
Fortunately I can relink my lights to a zigbee adapter and remove the hub entirely, but it's significant pointless effort I'd rather not have to do. Thanks Philips or whatever third party subsidiary now makes Hue! I'll now never trust or buy anything from you ever again.

If anyone has a setup like mine (a Hue Hub, but also using HomeAssistant) I would suggest firewalling off the Hue Hub from accessing the internet. While the Hue App will stop working your lights shouldn't... for now.

Just left my first ever review just to voice my annoyance at this forced and pointless change.
meeb··on Notes from building a blog in Django
You can also use wagtail with django-distill!

Your use case and workflow is exactly why I originally developed django-distill, glad to see it resonates with other developers. Thanks!
meeb··on Ask HN: What have you created that deserves a second chance on HN?
https://ipnetdb.com/ - information on the entire internet and its structure squashed down to a 130mb-odd mmdb file. Free for personal and open source use, updated weekly.
meeb··on Show HN: IPNetDB – an embeddable database of internet routing information
IPNetDB is a database of routing information for the internet. It's updated weekly and compressed into the popular mmdb-format database files with existing libraries in most languages.

The primary use would be to answer questions like what ISP an IP address belongs to, what publicly routed CIDR an IP address is part of or what prefixes are broadcasted by an ASN. You could use it to handle traffic from an ISP differently, prioritize some ISPs, use the allocation country information to route traffic from different countries internally, expand IP based filtering to entire CIDRs or networks or any other query that requires information on what network is advertising what IP addresses.

Allocation, advertisement and peering information is up to date weekly. Entity information is slowly updated over a period of a month or two.

It's free for open source and non-commercial use and small enough to embed into most applications.

meeb··on YouTube is about to pull its apps from Roku
It'll get less clunky in the future when I get some time to fix a few bits and bobs, honest!
meeb··on Ask HN: What (side-)project are you working on?
I've been working on and off on TubeSync, a PVR for YouTube:

meeb··on Host Your Own Blog with Gitlab and Netlify
We use Django + Distill on Netlify for static output from Django projects. Netlify is awesome. Example: https://github.com/mgrp/django-distill-example
meeb··on Text-only news sites are slowly making a comeback. Here’s why
Well, it's automated based on what's most popular over the last 6 hours. The meme stuff is what people vote for. I could start curating it, but then it would lose the original point. The news articles are usually pretty good, the odd stupid thing goes viral and sneaks in but it's generally real news. Just ignore the pictures if that bothers you. A core concept of it is to preserve an unedited snapshot of opinion from a point in time, news articles can be deleted or edited, plus the top reactions to them as a historical record, like https://dailypopulous.com/2018-03-19-morning/ - it's an unedited newspaper based on what people actually read, which unfortunately does include memes these days.
meeb··on Text-only news sites are slowly making a comeback. Here’s why
I've built and been running https://dailypopulous.com/ for the last year or two for precisely the reasons mentioned in the article. It generates a static, downloadable "edition" every 4 hours from what's popular on social media as a snapshot. Small images, no video, summary content and no JS.
meeb··on Show HN: The Daily Populous – an automatic socially generated newspaper
Sure why not, I'll add it when I next get a spare hour or two.
meeb··on Show HN: The Daily Populous – an automatic socially generated newspaper
This is an automated newspaper which watches the top news articles and images on reddit every hour. Every 6 hours it pulls the top articles and images into a statically generated newspaper 'edition' and uploads it. The content and summaries are generated with NLP content extraction libraries. Each edition is also downloadable as a static zip file.

The idea is to present a snapshot of popular news at any given 6 hour window in time and preserve it.
