I see the confusion, I tweaked the README to remove that claim. But I indeed meant "no external dependencies like postgres/redis..".

Thanks!
tsileo··on Show HN: ReadRatio – Do people actually read what you are writing?
I have never been satisfied with all the web analytics tools I tried, so I decided to build my own.

I have been influenced by the analytics reports provided by Medium, I really liked the read ratio idea.

I have a lot of ideas to improve it but I tried to build a working MVP first.

I would love to get your feedback, both about the idea and the execution.

Thanks!

It's impossible to move IP's between DO droplet, it's a big drawback I think. It prevent a lot of people to use DO over AWS EC2.

I think I will add the file size to the index, since it's really cheap.

Thanks!

tsileo··on Tracking Changes in Directories with Python
I don't want to have a running process just for this, I want to be able to take a "snapshot"/"index", store some data on Glacier, and the index on S3, and later, given the index, be able to compute deltas without accessing the full archive store on Glacier.

Thanks for the feedback!

I haven't thought about the filesize/hash to reduce collision, but I chose to stick with the last-modified time in the article, because it can takes hours computing hashes for a big directory tree.

Tools like rsync relies on last-modified time by default, and since I want to use this to track my own files, I won't fake it, so I think it's not a big deal?

The service is not continually running, I use this method to make incremental backups with archives stored on AWS Glacier and meta-data stored on S3 (the index is stored on S3, and I can't access files on Glacier to compute deltas).

This gist is corrupt and can't be viewed."
