    SandCrab▲152

    Hello HN. SandCrab is an app I originally had the idea for and hacked together over a couple of weekends last October. More recently, I’ve been working on adding new features to it as I use it more as my daily tool to interact with my s3 buckets. A few recent features I am excited about include the ability to search across all of your buckets using wildcards and regular expressions as well as searching and filtering by metadata (e.g. content type, file size, date created, etc). I’ve also added support for configuring and generating presigned urls directly in the app which is nice. The app…

    "dut" is a disk usage calculator that I wrote a couple months ago in C. It is multi-threaded, making it one of the fastest such programs. It beats normal "du" in all cases, and beats all other similar programs when Linux's caches are warm (so, not on the first run). I wrote "dut" as a challenge to beat similar programs that I used a lot, namely pdu[1] and dust[2]. "dut" displays a tree of the biggest things under your current directory, and it also shows the size of hard-links under each directory as well. The hard-link tallying was inspired by ncdu[3], but I don't like how unintuitive the…

    We started CallFS after yet another late-night “why did the uploads vanish?” incident. Our small team had stitched together rsync, a fragile NFS mount, and an S3 bucket—none of it observable, all of it waiting to bite us. So we wrote a single-process file service in Go that: • Speaks the S3 API (so existing tooling works). • Stores hot data on local disks for speed; cold data can sit in any S3-compatible bucket. • Exposes Prometheus metrics and JSON logs by default, because “what happened?” shouldn’t be guesswork. • Ships as a ~25 MB static binary—no external deps, MIT license. Today it’s…

    I previously introduced WinCse on Hacker News (original post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43947599). At the time, it only supported AWS S3, but this update adds compatibility with GCP, OCI, and more object storage providers! Object storages tested for compatibility: - AWS S3 - Google Cloud Storage - OCI Object Storage - Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage - Cloudflare R2 - Backblaze B2 - Storj DCS - IDrive e2 With WinCse, you can access and manage object storage directly from Windows Explorer as if it were local files. If you encounter any bugs, please report them on GitHub. I…

    Hey everyone, I’m Hunter, the founder of Archil. Archil is transforming object storage, like Amazon S3, into infinite, local file systems that provide instant access to massive data sets. Last year, we launched Archil’s NFS-based product publicly on Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42174204), and we were absolutely thrilled to see the response of this community. Since our last launch, we took a 10 month company-wide bet to build our own, custom storage protocol to deliver true, local-like performance to cloud instances – by behaving closer to a block storage…
