24 alternatives to Bvckup 2 – Fast File Replicator for Windows
This is a long-running project that started as the proverbial need to scratch my own itch and then somehow evolved into a full-time job of the past 6 years. Link: https://bvckup2.com I thought I'd do a Show HN for two reasons. 1. I obviously want to show my baby to those who haven't seen it. Its primary purpose is to do very fast file replication. If you are familiar with "robocopy /mir" - same idea, but on steroids. Lots of them. It can be used for both mirroring and archiving backups, among other things. It is light, very small and it is really quite fast. Half of the…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hey all! I've been using this stack personally for a while now and decided to automate it a bit by turning it into a template I can reuse. Hope others might find it helpful!

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a quick project I built a bit ago and finally cleaned up enough to post. The premise is simple, you have a file on one computer that you want on a different computer on the same network and don't want a lot of fuss. For the file you want to copy, on the machine where the file is located, run: ./bcp filename Now go to the computer (on the same network) where you want the file to be at, and run: ./bcp The file will be copied over the network and you're done. I created it as a nice way of not having to worry about ssh or anything else really. In fact, it is so…

Creator here. I was looking for something as simple as Backblaze Personal [1] but privacy focused and open source. This is my attempt to build that. Uses PyQt6 [2] for the GUI and Pyinstaller [3] for creating the platform specific binaries. The backup engine under the hood is Restic [4]. The server code is written in Laravel [5]. All the code is on GitHub [6]. I actually really like Backblaze (even use B2 for this offering behind the scenes) so this isn't meant to throw shade their way. Just wanted a private open source alternative. Something like Bitwarden but for backups. [1]…

hey guys. the other day i was migrating hosting providers and i just needed something not too heavy and convenient to spin up my backups for awhile and realised there is almost nothing out there. kimchi hasn't been updated for years and cockpit is heavy. so here's something i came up with in a couple hours because of a sudden urge, nothing fancy just basic creation with cloud init, lifecycle management and image/storage, but it's modern-ish and it compiles to a 8.4mb binary inclusive of the embedded web UI, CLI and API, and only dep is libvirt.

Hey HN, cofounder of Artie here. We’ve built a real-time data replication tool that captures every row-level change in your source database and streams it to your warehouse in under 60 seconds. The last time I posted here, people had to book a call with us in order to access Artie. Today, that’s no longer the case. You can now connect your source and destination and start streaming immediately. I spent years of my career building large-scale data pipelines and experienced how difficult it was to get real-time data firsthand. I believed there must be a better way to stream data into our…

Karve▲71Not much to say. I work on windows, I hate postman, I need to manage bunch of .http files across multiple repositories. So I built a fast and native tool for myself and published it if you want to try it too. Any feedback would be nice, I really want it to be The obvious native Windows home for .http files

we've been working on a KV store for the past year or so which is 2-6x faster than Redis (benchmark link below) yet disk persisted! so you get the speed of in-memory KV stores but with disk persistence. To achieve this we've created our custom filesystem that is optimized for our special usecase and we're doing smart batching for writes and predictive fetching for reads. In addition to basic operations, it also provides atomic inc/dec, atomic json patch, range scans and a unique key monitoring mechanism (pub-sub) over WebSockets which essentially allows you to receive notification on…

Hi HN, I'm one of the founders of s2.dev. RePlaya (https://github.com/s2-streamstore/replaya) is a self-hosted browser session replay tool using rrweb (https://github.com/rrweb-io/rrweb). It occurred to me that a durable stream per session would be a much neater architectural foundation for much of what you'd want from such a tool. As a unique feature, it also made live tailing straightforward because the player can read from the same stream the recorder is appending to. The alternative architecture is likely an ingest firehose which is then indexed,…

This is an upgrade of a tool I created 15 years ago in Python to learn OOP and solve some inadequacies in the HDR stacking tools I could find at the time. The problem was, none of them were really "batch friendly". None of them properly preserved the metadata I wanted them to stuff into the output file. There were probably some other reasons also, I just can't remember them now. It got the job done, but was very slow. Python was what I knew at the time and even with NumPy, I was limited in the speed I could squeeze out of it. (I also made some very specific, conscious, architectural choices…

We needed a secure, multi-tenant way to offer shell accounts to users, but most VMMs were using too much memory and containers are unsafe. With clone, VMs are now more memory efficient than containers in most cases. Since many other projects on HN looked like they were doing this too, open sourcing this was the right thing to do. Feel free to use in whole or in part as you see fit!

I built tinykv because I kept reaching for simple persistent storage in Rust projects but found existing solutions either too complex (sled) or unmaintained (pickledb). tinykv focuses on simplicity: JSON-based, serde-powered, with optional TTL. Perfect for CLI tools, game saves, config storage. Would appreciate any feedback from the HN community!

Hi HN, I’m Linn, the creator of ToolKuai (https://toolkuai.com). Like many of you, I’ve always been wary of "free" online file converters. Most of them are black boxes: you upload your private documents or images to a remote server, and you have no idea where that data ends up or how it’s being used to train models. I wanted to build a suite of tools (Video/Image compressor, OCR, AI Background Remover) that runs entirely in the browser. No files ever leave your machine. The Tech Stack To make this performant enough to rival server-side processing, I leaned heavily into modern…
