Show HN: 22 GB of Hacker News in SQLite 391 by keepamovin | 136 comments on Hacker News. Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo ( https://ift.tt/KBEYX9c ): you can download it.

That's my Year End gift to you all. Thank you for a wonderful year, have happy and wonderful 2026. make something of it.
Show HN: Ez FFmpeg – Video editing in plain English 397 by josharsh | 191 comments on Hacker News. I built a CLI tool that lets you do common video/audio operations without remembering ffmpeg syntax. Instead of: ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vf "fps=15,scale=480:-1:flags=lanczos" -loop 0 output.gif You write: ff convert video.mp4 to gif More examples: ff compress video.mp4 to 10mb ff trim video.mp4 from 0:30 to 1:00 ff extract audio from video.mp4 ff resize video.mp4 to 720p ff speed up video.mp4 by 2x ff reverse video.mp4 There are similar tools that use LLMs (wtffmpeg, llmpeg, ai-ffmpeg-cli), but they require API keys, cost money, and have latency. Ez FFmpeg is different: - No AI – just regex pattern matching - Instant – no API calls - Free – no tokens - Offline – works without internet It handles ~20 common operations that cover 90% of what developers actually do with ffmpeg. For edge cases, you still need ffmpeg directly. Interactive mode (just type ff) shows media files in you...

Tell HN: HN was down 579 by uyzstvqs | 312 comments on Hacker News. - HN errored on all authenticated requests with 502 Bad Gateway. It did still respond to a limited amount of unauthenticated requests with presumably cached pages, which did not get updated. The last post on /newest claimed "0 minutes ago", but was actually much older (1:32:57 PM GMT) and not the newest post. - This status page actually identified the outage: https://ift.tt/ct1RDOS - Pages by Hund and Statuspal did not show the outage. - The last post before the outage was https://ift.tt/j59Z6Le (1:39:59 PM GMT). The last comment was https://ift.tt/B8asKPW (1:41:54 PM GMT). - There was an average of ~4 seconds per comment just prior to the outage. Based on this, HN likely went down at 1:41:58 PM GMT.
