Delete yourself from data brokers without a subscription
I signed up for a paid service to get my phone, addresses, and vehicles off the public internet. It didn’t work. So I built remove-your-data, an open-source repo that tells your agent exactly what to do to remove your personal information online.

In plain words
Remove-your-data is an open-source tool that helps people delete their personal information from data brokers and people-search sites without paying for removal services. It works as an agent-friendly skill that automates first-party opt-outs and applies California's DELETE Act when applicable. The tool tracks removals in a local SQLite database and generates reports, operating entirely on localhost for privacy. It was built after the creator's experience with ineffective paid deletion services.

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…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
