On: Show HN: I built an AI DJ bot that understands "play some chill Arctic Monkeys"

[Ente]

Ah sorry, tunnelvision: The bot neither downloads nor plays any music directly. It just curates a spotify playlist & queue. Users must use the official spotify player to plss the music. To answer your question: spotify does that.

not sure what copyright you mean. The source code is MIT licensed. Can you please clarify?

On: Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?

[Ente]

I am working on my open source app [1] which allows shop owners to keep track of number of people in their shop, whilst also generating interesting analytics insights for later use.

[Ente]

I like this, but the collection of models in there does not seem to be very rich. Do you know how often they plan to add a new model?

[devinjflick → Ente]

They have a suggestions area, where you can submit your mental model. They probably expect to grow with the use of that

I would love to try this.

Is there a way to configure catch-all addresses for domains?

On: Show HN: Plantuml-Parser – Parse PlantUML Syntax in JavaScript

[Ente]

I started this because I wanted to build a lightweight web-based and well tested parser for PlantUML. This is to support an other project of mine: A fully web based and interactive visualization for PlantUML.

I am looking for feedback, and maybe more reference projects. This implementation uses PEG.js and its main focus is high test coverage and traceability of changes. I try to achieve this by the use of many fixtures. So even if you don't plan on contributing code, opening an issue with a PlantUML diagram will help :) Thank you.

On: RTM: flow-based network monitoring

[Ente]

You're right. RTM, or rather, its internal flow assembling component RTS can be extended with plugins in order to extract and append more information for a flow. For example there are plugins for:

* regex matching * tcp state machine following * http * dns * bgp * smtp * icmp * pcap splitting by flows * ...

Using them will have an impact on performance, which is why there are no numbers regarding speed on this page. It's always a fit between: what one can see and what one wants to see. It's beeing sold as a privacy feature ;). Nevertheless a security expert has to configure the software so that it fits the environment.

In contrast to other projects, the general assumption is that RTM is not the 'one solution you implement and you're secure' but rather a platform on which you can build your security upon.

Sorry for the generic answer: I don't know Silk/Flowbat well enough in order to provide a in depth comparison.

On: RTM: flow-based network monitoring

[Ente]

you're right. An other example why it's a good idea to invest into smart people supported by good products in order to defend against such attacks. From my personal point of view, the risk of a data-breach is beeing underestimated in almost all companies. Which leads toh harsh budget restrictions for security responsibles.

Note: in my opinion Blick.ch [1] is not the best ressource for information. Please consider [2], [3].

Currently this is more of an ad-page for a propietary product. Devs are 'in discussion' with management in order to make the product available for a wide public audience. Actually the goal is a (at least) partial open source commitment.

- stay tuned
