@alice That being said, I'm angry that #Mastodon #developers dismissed the valid need to support blocklist feeds as it makes administrating and updating these a nightmare requiring everyone to basically setup their own #git and #DIY a "replace" with the #API.

I've yet to find some #ActivityPub Server Software (or even Middleware similar to #FediSuite) that can do that - even for individual accounts…
We've been quietly building a threat intel API for MSPs and security teams.
Current corpus: 600K+ IOCs, 1,000+ malware families, 17 live feeds (C2IntelFeeds, Feodo Tracker, PhishTank, criminal Telegram channels).
New this month: identity graph correlation from criminal dumps, ransomware victim signals, NHI/token exposure detection, GitHub secret scanning.
REST API, n8n node, MCP server. Free IOC lookup at api.relayshield.net/developers
E-car drivers frustrated: VW interface for third-party providers gone
Volkswagen changed an API, preventing users from accessing their data via third-party apps like EVCC. We asked what's going on.

I created an issue on the plugin's GitHub about removing the MCP functionality into a separate plugin, and the maintainer immediately converted it into a discussion, which is here: https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-local-rest-api/discussions/272
I'm getting the impression from all the LLM-related discussions and commits that this is a lost cause and I'll probably have to fork this plugin if I want an MCP-free version of it. Looks like they took up slop coding earlier this year too, which is another area of concern.

The agonizing slow death of the power user
This is a fascinating article to read. The facts are nailed to the wall in clear and easy to comprehend jargon, even for the non-grey beards
Some quotes
Ask a twenty-two-year-old to connect to a remote server via SSH. Ask them to explain what DNS is at a conceptual level. Ask them to tell you the difference between their router’s public IP and the local IP of their laptop. Ask them to open a terminal and list the contents of a directory. These are not advanced topics. Twenty years ago these were things you learned in the first week of any serious engagement with computers. Today they’re exotic knowledge that even a lot of working software developers don’t have, because you can go a long way in modern development without ever leaving the managed abstractions your platform provides.
And that’s the real damage. It’s not just end users who don’t know this stuff. It’s developers. People who write software for a living who’ve never had to think about what happens between their API call and the response. Who’ve never had to debug something at the network layer. Who’ve never had to read a full stack trace and understand every frame of it. Because the frameworks handle all of that, and the frameworks are good enough, and figuring out how things actually work is optional.
Some facts
Power User
A power user is a user of computers, software and other electronic devices who uses advanced features of computer hardware,[1][2][3] operating systems,[4] programs, or websites[5] which are not used by the average user. A power user might not have extensive technical knowledge of the systems they use[6] but is rather characterized by competence or desire to make the most intensive use of computer programs or systems.
Term use
The term came into use in the 1980s, as advocates for computing developed special skills for working with or customizing existing hardware and software. Power users knew the best ways to perform common tasks and find advanced information before the arrival of the commercial Internet. On PC platforms, power users read magazines like Byte or PC Magazine, and knew enough about operating systems to create and edit batch files, write short programs in BASIC, and adjust system settings. They tended to customize or "supercharge" existing systems, rather than create new software.[7]
Notes
This is systematically done by the factories of technology. I am baffled that a 41 year old litterate person, with secondary school and partial tertiary school, cant tell the difference between an email account, a FB account, a local machine account, a table, notebook and Android phone, from the basic technological perspective. This happened a couple of hours ago, which makes this article very relevant to me.
This person was born two generations ago!
WTF happened to reading manuals!?
I read all manuals I get with hardware I buy, go online to fetch and read, PRINT IF I HAVE TO!
Power Users are a sub-species of homosapiens which is in the greybeard stage.
Eventually we will drop our current corpus and move on to other energy levels of existence
Power users will become extinct in the next generation or two
A bleak future for those left

twitter is a happy place
SYK!
hell no!
Thanks to the power of the fediverse and following the right people a skillfull fellow mastodon dropped the nitter bomb on me a couple of days ago.
Of course I asked first what it is, then both replied that it's a front end to the twitter api (yes to me only twitter existed till it was murdered by little elon) which never reveals you, meaning I can not only access my old accounts which I have downloaded (of course thousands of tweets!) conveniently as it is frozen in time. I have the imagery in front of me, instead of that large JSON pack
deleting twitter accounts will not erase the data automagically{servers never erase!})
I now thank the people who gave me another TIL

I’ve added a new tool to Stract Search, my implementation of the Stract search engine. StractSearch is free and free-of-advertising at https://searchtweaks.com/stract/ .
This new tool, Time & Title Explorer, takes advantage of the way dates appear in some Web pages, like this: […]

A screenshot showing an example of Time & Title Explorer's search results. Beneath the search form and the big green "Show Popular Words for All Years" button is a list of years from 2015 through 2022 showing the ten most popular title keywords for each year. (A couple of years, like 2015, don't have 10 keywords because they there were few results.) Underneath that list is a list of Stract results for "agrihood farm inurl:2022" showing a variety of news stories and blog posts.
