New ask Hacker News story: Orcah Studio: A local-first video agent that can search your videos

Orcah Studio: A local-first video agent that can search your videos 3 by iliashad | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hey, I'm Ilias, the founder of Orcah Studio. I'm building a local-first desktop app (Mac OS available now) that can transcribe audio, recognize faces, detect objects, perform OCR, and describe video scenes. Plus, a local-first video agent that understands your prompt and finds the exact moment you're looking for. I fine-tune the agent based on an open-weight model (an 8-billion-parameter model) with tool calling.

Tell HN: Uceprotect is extorting website owners 2 by goldenmember | 0 comments on Hacker News. I recently discovered by accident that our website was being blocked by Orange's security filters. After a quick check, I found that our IP address is listed on UCEPROTECT Level 3. The listing is based on the reputation of the entire ASN 14061 (DigitalOcean, US) [1]. In other words, even if your IP did nothing wrong, it will still be listed because of its ASN. If your site is innocent and listed only because it's hosted on DigitalOcean, UCEPROTECT offers to whitelist it for about $30/month or $108/year [2]. I checked the ASNs of several other popular hosting providers, and they're all listed too. So if your site is hosted on DigitalOcean or any other major provider, it's probably blacklisted as well. That can cut you off from customers on mobile networks like Orange, whose "cybersecurity protection" uses blacklists like UCEPROTECT to filter traffic. Honestly, in m...
