In plain words

Silo is an S3-compatible object storage system and a maintained fork of MinIO.

From the sources

Every number here comes from a public source you can check yourself. MinIO's OSS edition gutted its console, stopped shipping binaries, and archived its security updates. Silo restores all these — on the same codebase, with CI/CD pipe Your clients, SDKs, and scripts keep working: same S3 API, same MINIO_* variables, same metrics, same on-disk format. We put the gutted console back, added a bilingual UI, and cleaned up the visuals. “Using pgsty/minio's fork as the default storage is a reasonable solution right now.” “Drop-in replacement: same env vars, same server command, same /data on-disk format, and it restores the full web console upstream had gutted.” “To discover that the community…from silo.pgsty.com

  • Clipto MCP▲655

    Hey 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…

  • Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

    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…
