Fixing Missing Laravel Uploads on cPanel with a Storage Symlink

0
·1 views

Uploaded images in a Laravel project often fail to appear on cPanel hosting because the public/storage symlink is not transferred with the project files. The article explains that Laravel stores uploads in storage/app/public, which browsers can only reach through this link. The suggested fix is to run the php artisan storage:link command from the cPanel Terminal in the project directory. As an alternative, a temporary route can trigger the same command via a browser, after which the route should be deleted for security. The author also advises checking that APP_URL in the .env file matches the live domain and asking the host to allow symlinks if they are blocked.

Researcher Uses Cameradar to Show Exposed IP Cameras Need Validated Access Testing

The final part of a four-part series on IP camera exposure examines how to validate whether a discovered RTSP service is actually accessible. The author used Cameradar, a tool for assessing RTSP camera infrastructure, against a camera in their own authorised test environment. An unauthenticated run found the RTSP endpoint and detected Digest authentication, but returned zero accessible streams because the credentials tested were rejected. A second run using an authorised local account and the known stream path succeeded in validating one accessible stream. The piece argues that an open port or authentication prompt does not by itself prove a compromise, and that the gap between exposure and actual access is the key point of the assessment.

Building SRT and VTT Subtitle Files from YouTube Captions in Code

A developer guide explains how to fetch YouTube captions programmatically and convert them into SRT and VTT subtitle files for editors, players, and web pages. It contrasts the two formats, noting SRT numbers cues and uses a comma for milliseconds while VTT uses a WEBVTT header and dots. The walkthrough shows a transcript API that can return both formats directly, with Python code to save paired files per video. The author notes that outputs were tested against a public YouTube transcript Actor using the first YouTube video, while the endpoint's response envelope comes from documentation. A key timing quirk is highlighted: auto-generated caption segments often overlap, so cues may need adjusting to produce valid files that players handle correctly.

Two indie hackers shut down their 3-year project Lutains, citing exhaustion and a failed pivot

Lutains, a project built over three years by two indie developers, is being shut down after thousands of euros were lost. The founders say they moved too slowly, built too many untested versions, and neglected sales. They also say their target users were too technically skilled to need a paid tool, since AI now lets them build their own. Living costs in France and the strain on their relationship and finances weighed on the decision. Despite the failure, the founders say they gained skills in offers, copywriting, branding, and AI-integrated app development.

DataAfterlife Uses Local Gemma to Turn an Old CSV Into a Readable Story

A developer submitted DataAfterlife, a tool for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge that helps people find patterns and narratives in forgotten CSV files. The demo uses a fictional community cinema ledger from 1999 and 2000, with charts showing monthly lows, highs, and totals. The app runs locally, using Gemma 3 4B via Ollama to propose calculation plans and write evidence-linked stories while the browser performs the math. Users can map their own columns, switch chart types, ask plain-language questions, and export PDF reports. The project's source code and setup instructions are available on GitHub.
