Ask HN: How to author a RSS feed for broadcatching educational videos?
At our university we are going to be forced by the current Covid-19 situation to produce and distribute at least a part of the lessons in video/webinar form.

University IT has been planning to implement a video server before Covid-19, but these processes require careful planning and it is as of now unclear whether a solution will be implemented and usable when the upcoming semester starts.

As an intermediate solution I thought we might offer our content as bittorrent RSS feeds. This way the students would receive fresh lessons all at the same time, reducing storage and bandwidth strain on our side.

Searching for a usable solution yielded that a lot of bittorrent clients are capable of subscribing to a torrent RSS feed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent#RSS_feeds), but I have not found an explanation on how to generate this kind of RSS feed. Documentation is completely about the client side.

Could someone explain how to generate/author such a feed or give me a pointer into the right direction?

Any help would be reatly appreciated! Thanks!

Show HN: Free LFS Storage with Datahub and Cloudburst
https://cloudburst.host/lfs
Hi! this is Dan and Genevieve from Burstable AI, developers of Cloudburst, a Jupterlab-based cloud platform with notebooks, a terminal, and GPU.

We've just added support for git-lfs (Large File Storage) to be able to track datasets and models in git without worrying about storage limits.

To make this useful, we are hosting Datahub, our own open, public LFS server, free to use for any AI/ML-related data. The easiest way to use it is to check out our LFS tutorial on cloudburst (link is on the landing page). Note that Datahub is not tied to Cloudburst: repos created in Cloudburst can be checked out by any git client with LFS installed.

LFS has a nasty reputation as being hard to configure and use, but we have tried to make the experience as simple and intuitive as possible. Please let us know how we are doing! We can be contacted at:

beta at cloudburst dot host.

Cure Office Boredom by Adopting a Cute Cat Pic

I can't believe I'm doing this! I'm sending more traffic over to the idot savants at I Can Has Cheezburger? And this isn't the first time, recently I had my entire office on that cursedly cute site. My boss was about to tape a page from another coworker's cat calendar to her office door. I told her about Cheezburger and the other lolcats/lolpets and we got the idea to each adopt a cat (or rabbit or guinea pig) and hang it on our office doors and guess what?

Any workflow orchestration horror stories?
I'm working for a company that has a number of manual tasks that we need to automate in order to successfully scale.

In doing some research for solutions I've stumbled into the world of workflow engines. These seems like they can solve the problems for us.

In a nutshell, my use case is:
- submit a workunit into a queue
- determine some logic that routes the work unit either to an automated system for completion or a manual system for review.
- after a manual review pass it along to the automated system or reject it.

It seems like these systems are tailor made for this. I am however always chasing shiny new tech. Before I go further I'd like to know horror stories of people who have failed in implementing these or, after implementing realized it was overkill and should have just built it by hand.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.szeweq.droogoo&hl=en_US&gl=US
This is an app where you can keep current and past prices of a product, check price changes throughout time, find cheapest price in a shop. Just manually add shops and products you are interested in. All shops, products and prices are saved in a device.

I spent my time developing this app because of rising inflation rates happening in many countries. I was seeing prices of food, clothing and other necessities getting higher and higher but I know I and many other people won't be keeping up with them.

From a technical perspective: PogPrice was created in Kotlin with libraries like Jetpack Compose, Koin and Objectbox (and few others). Its user interface is designed using Material You and Android 12 custom color theme support.

Google Play shows screenshots from an older version. You will see how much this app changed by comparing current version downloaded to your device with these images.

I hope you will enjoy using PogPrice!
