Slurp Fixed Saving Web Articles to Obsidian
In my recent Obsidian setup video I talked about how the ReadItLater and Obsidian Web Clipper were not working for me. I had to run through saving a web page twice to get the content I wanted.
<p>A day after that video I was annoyed and searched "Read Later" in the community plugin manager and then found Slurp. With my first test it solved<br>

New, by me: The Kimwolf Botnet is Stalking Your Local Network
<p>Today's story is a long overdue series of scoops nestled inside a far more urgent Internet-wide security advisory. The vulnerability at issue has been exploited for months already, and it’s time for a broader awareness of the threat. The short version is that everything you thought you knew about the security of the internal network behind your Internet router probably is now dangerously out of date.</p>

<p>7 — Perfect, must try, life-changing, go out of your way to seek this out<br>
6 — Excellent, worth repeating<br>
5 — Good, don’t go out of your way, but enjoyable<br>
4 — Passable, works in a pinch<br>
3 — Bad, don’t do this if you can<br>
2 — Atrocious, actively avoid, repulsive<br>
1 — Evil, life-changing in a bad way</p>

<p>There are two things I want to ensure in my Obsidian Vault: 1) Every note is actually created in the vault. And 2) Every note has a link to another note or Map of Content (MOC) within the vault.</p>
<p>What do I mean, actually created? In Obsidian you can, in the text of a note, simply add <code>My Grand Idea</code> which <em>looks</em> like a link to the note called "My Grand Idea" but I might not have a real note called "My Grand Idea". This Base, which I keep on a note called "In Box" gathers up any non-created notes and shows them to me so I can be sure I create them for real.</p>
<pre class="">formulas:
Untitled: file.links.filter(!value.asFile().isTruthy())
properties:
file.name:
displayName: Origin
formula.Untitled:
displayName: Uncreated files
views:
- type: table
name: Table
filters:
and:
- file.links.filter(!value.asFile().isTruthy())
- '!file.path.contains("Support")'
order:
- file.name
- formula.Untitled
</pre>
<p>The line that says <code>!file.path.contains("Support")</code> is meant to prevent anything in my Support folder or it's subfolders from showing up in the Base. This is where I keep my Templates. You can omit that line or change <code>Support</code> to something that makes sense for your Vault.</p>
<p>The second one is self explanatory: I want all notes to link to each other. This Base shows me any notes that don't contain links to other notes in the vault.</p>
<pre class="">views:
- type: table
name: Table
filters:
and:
- file.links.isEmpty()
- '!file.path.contains("Files")'
- '!file.path.contains("Support")'
- '!file.path.contains("Daily")'
</pre>
<p>Like the above, I don't want false-positives showing up for notes in the Files folder (where I keep attachments), the Support folder or the Daily folder. These filters could be modified or removed.</p>
<p>These 2 Bases are part of my <a href='https://techlifeweb.com/blog/2025/11/post-2025-11-13T172839/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>Obsidian Template Vault</a></p>

Here is how I'm using it and a link to my template vault. <a href='https://techlifeweb.com/blog/2025/11/post-2025-11-13T172839/'>https://techlifeweb.com/blog/2025/11/post-2025-11-13T172839/</a> #Obsidian</p>
by Scott Kingery
<p>Obsidian is the notes app I use the most. Over the past few years, my collection of notes has changed a lot. I try out different ways of organizing my notes, then I watch videos or read about how other people use the app, and I adjust my setup accordingly. There’s no single correct way to use it. The way I use Obsidian might be very different from how you do. Heck, my online friend Lou Plummer (@amerpie on Mastodon) maintains a whole list of <a href='https://amerpie.lol/2024/05/13/example-obsidian-vaults.html' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>Example Obsidian Vaults from Around the Internet</a> for you to see the different ways this wonderful app can be used.</p>
<p>My current way of organizing and working in Obsidian is finally stable and working well for me. I’ve decided it's the right time to share my setup and write about how I use it. Like everything else here, I do this so I can remember what I did and why, and also to have a place to send people who ask me about it.</p>
<p>Here is a link to my Template Vault for Obsidian on github:<br>
<a href='https://github.com/TechLifeWeb/ObsidianTemplateVault/tree/main' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>TechLifeWeb/ObsidianTemplateVault</a></p>
<p>Here's some information about the vault and how I use it. I've also added a section about my personal rules for using it. Your rules don't have to be the same as mine, but I strongly encourage you to take a moment to think about what you're doing with <em>your</em> notes and, even more importantly, <em>why</em> you're making these notes.</p>
<p>When I was setting up my vault, I believed that being able to find things easily was the most important idea. So, I thought about how to make notes that are quick and simple to create, while also including enough details so I can find them again without any trouble.</p>
<h1 id="folders" tabindex="-1">Folders <a class="external-link" href="#folders" aria-hidden="true" target="_self">#</a></h1>
<ul>
<li>I avoid folders for content. Every note is stored in the Notes folder with the exception of Daily Notes which are held in the Notes/Daily subfolder.</li>
<li>Notes that are not content are stored under the Support folder. There are subfolders for the special cases of Navigation notes (some call these MOCs or Maps of Content) and Templates.</li>
<li>The "Files" folder is where attachments are held.</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="bookmarks" tabindex="-1">Bookmarks <a class="external-link" href="#bookmarks" aria-hidden="true" target="_self">#</a></h1>
<ul>
<li>I have all the Navigation notes bookmarked so they appear in the list of Bookmarks. That panel I have open on the upper left and is where I start all my navigation unless I just search.</li>
<li>I loosely use the ideas of PARA presented by Tiago Forte: <a href='https://fortelabs.com/blog/para/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>The PARA Method: The Simple System for Organizing Your Digital Life in Seconds</a>. "Projects" is too work oriented in my brain so I use "Efforts" to mean essentially the same thing for personal stuff.
<ul>
<li>📥In Box: This is a list of any file this has been linked to but not yet created</li>
<li>🗂️Resources: Things I am interested in</li>
<li>🌐Areas: Areas of Responsibility are the <strong>roles you take on in life</strong> and the <strong>hats you wear</strong> (Spouse, Mother/Father, Team Leader, Soccer Coach)</li>
<li>💼Efforts: Things I'm actively working on</li>
<li>😎 Favorites: Any notes tagged "favorites" will show up here</li>
<li>📈Stats: Uses Dataview to show the current number of files in my Obsidian Vault and has a list of the 10 most recent notes.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Having Bookmarks always handy in the sidebar like this is very helpful for temporarily keeping notes handy. For example, if I'm on a trip I'll bookmark my "Trip to London" (or wherever) note and it is then a click or tap away when I pull up Obsidian while on the road.</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="vault-setup-notes" tabindex="-1">Vault Setup Notes <a class="external-link" href="#vault-setup-notes" aria-hidden="true" target="_self">#</a></h1>
<ul>
<li>I store this file at the root level of my folder structure for quick and easy access. Whenever I add or modify a plugin, I update the notes in this document accordingly. Some changes are straightforward, while others are more complex, so maintaining a record ensures clear documentation for future reference.</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="templates" tabindex="-1">Templates <a class="external-link" href="#templates" aria-hidden="true" target="_self">#</a></h1>
<ul>
<li>Default Template: Gets applied to all notes except Daily Notes</li>
<li>Daily Notes: For Daily Notes</li>
<li>Code - Subcategory List
<ul>
<li>This is code is magical Dataview code that pulls in a Base with a similar name. It is for displaying linked notes by Subcategory.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Code - Category List
<ul>
<li>More magical Dataview code the pulls in a Base.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The "magic" of these code snippets is that the snippet pulls in code when the note is displayed rather than actually living on the note itself. This allows me to change the design of the template ONCE and it is applied to ALL notes where this code is displayed. For example, I could change the design of a Base or add text to the template and now instantly all notes with that code have the changes rather than having to reedit all the notes.</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="plugins-i-use" tabindex="-1">Plugins I Use <a class="external-link" href="#plugins-i-use" aria-hidden="true" target="_self">#</a></h1>
<ul>
<li>Commander
<ul>
<li>Commander is a plugin for Obsidian which allows you to add commands to different parts of the user interface.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Dataview
<ul>
<li>Create and display queries to your content. Obsidian now has the core plugin called Bases which does something similar however, I've found there are still use cases for Dataview</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Harper
<ul>
<li>Harper is a grammar checking plugin that doesn't violate your privacy.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Lazy Plugin Loader
<ul>
<li>Load plugins with a delay on Obsidian startup, so that you can get your app startup down into the sub-second loading time.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Linter

<li>This plugin accompanies Minimal Theme, allowing you to customize the theme from the Obsidian Settings panel. This plugin is not required to use Minimal Theme, but highly recommended.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Omnisearch
<ul>
<li>Omnisearch is a search engine that "just works". It always instantly shows you the most relevant results, thanks to its smart weighting algorithm.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Paste image PNG to JPEG
<ul>
<li>The plugin automatically handles the following when the image (png jpg jpeg) is pasted into the notes
<ul>
<li>1,Convert the image to jpeg format and compress it</li>
<li>2,store the image in the current notes directory in the images folder</li>
<li>3,Change the name of the image to the name of the current note plus a number</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Plugin Update Tracker
<ul>
<li>Know when installed plugins have updates and evaluate the risk of upgrading</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Style Settings
<ul>
<li>This plugin allows snippet, theme, and plugin CSS files to define a set of configuration options. It then allows users to see all the tweakable settings in one settings pane. Style Settings allows both toggling classes on and off the body element, as well as setting numeric, string, and color CSS variables.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Templater
<ul>
<li>A templating language that lets you insert variables and functions results into your notes. It will also let you execute JavaScript code manipulating those variables and functions.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="personal-usage-guidelines" tabindex="-1">Personal Usage Guidelines <a class="external-link" href="#personal-usage-guidelines" aria-hidden="true" target="_self">#</a></h1>
<p>I usually keep the following in a separate note that I keep in the Root or as a Favorite. It helps to keep handy so you can remember your decisions</p>
<ul>
<li>Have a purpose about why you are making the note. This helps you be more focused on noting the details and not copy/pasting things whole cloth.</li>
<li>Avoid splitting content into multiple vaults.</li>
<li>Avoid folders for content.</li>
<li>Avoid non-standard Markdown.</li>
<li>My default note template is very minimal and works for all my content.</li>

<ul>
<li>⭐<strong>Every</strong> singe note gets a category</li>
<li>Category:
<ul>
<li>Category is the broad area the note refers to (Python, Obsidian, Windows)</li>
<li>These are always a <strong>link</strong> so the Category page</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Subcategory:
<ul>
<li>Subcategory is a further definition of the Category.
<ul>
<li>Example: Category: <code>Windows</code> Subcategory: Utilities</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Sometimes I do make the subcategory a link.
<ul>
<li>Example: Category: <code>Restaurants</code> Subcategory: <code>Coffee Shops</code></li>
<li>The reason for this is sometimes, like this case of Coffee Shops, there are many similar items in the subcategory and I might want to report on them in a different way using Bases or Dataview.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Tags:
<ul>
<li>Always pluralize tags.</li>
<li>Always lower case, single word tags.</li>
<li>If multi word tags are absolutely necessary, use camelCase</li>
<li>Tags = the <strong>type</strong> of <strong>note</strong> (examples: links, meetingNotes, clippings)</li>
<li>Keep the number of tags to a minimum
<ul>
<li>Start with as few as possible and build from there if you come up with a <em>really</em> good use case for a new one</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Use internal links profusely.</li>
<li>Use <code>YYYY-MM-DD</code> dates wherever dates are needed. <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>ISO 8601 </a> exists for a reason.</li>
<li>Usage Examples (you'll find these in this template vault as well):
<ul>
<li>You read a good book called <em>Daemon</em>
<ul>
<li>Name of the note: Daemon</li>
<li>category: <code>Books</code></li>
<li>subcategory: Fiction</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>You want to save a link to a web page about Dataview in Obsidian
<ul>
<li>tags: links</li>
<li>category: <code>Obsidian</code></li>
<li>subcategory: Dataview</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Thanks for reading. Hope you found something you can use!</p>

ICYMI, Joe Menn had a good scoop this week about how the US govt is getting set to ban TP-Link devices from being sold in the United States. If that happens, a whole lot of small businesses will probably need to find new networking gear. I have never trusted TP-Link devices and have repeatedly warned readers away from them. They have a history of flooding the market with massively underpriced hardware, and this is a market where generally speaking the cheapest means the most hackable. Here's one reply I sent to a reader in 2023 who inquired about finding what appeared to be an undocumented cloud login page.

<p>"Thanks for your readership and the nice note. I was posting on Mastodon yesterday about your very brand of router!</p>
<p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@briankrebs/110588154233185809https://infosec.exchange/@briankrebs/110588154233185809">https://infosec.exchange/@briankrebs/110588154233185809</a></p>
<p>"I realize that NYT and others constantly recommend TPLink b/c of the features vs price point, but I would stay away from this brand, and any that force you to register "in the cloud" before you can use them as local networking devices. You do not want your router to do anything except when you tell it do so, and to my mind all this cloud business being attached to network storage and local network things is troubling."</p>
<p>"If you are at all confident around computers, I'd recommend getting something like a high-end ASUS router and then installing an open source firmware on it, like Tomato or something. Because the default software that is on most routers is complete garbage, and often turns on a lot of stuff you really don't want turned on, or has other stupid default settings. If updating your new $160 router w/ third party firmware that could brick it if you screw it up is too much, then just stick with a Netgear router and make sure you check for firmware updates periodically."</p>

A lot of people seem to consider Obsidian a very complex tool and often rule it out when looking for a simpler solution.
<p>I understand where it comes from as a lot of content about Obsidian is about building complicated systems with tons of plugins.</p>
<p>But you don't need any of that. You can write plain text or Markdown notes with a good editor experience — and it's cross-platform!</p>

<p class="p-name p-content e-content p-bridgy-mastodon-content"><span class="p-category">#11ty</span> follow-up: I pull posts (PESOS) from Mastodon to my own site via 11ty/import plugin. I then have some automation that crossposts to Bluesky via webmention and brid.gy. Earlier I noticed that hashtags weren't being sent as links to Bluesky. Thanks to @snarfed I learned that is because I needed to have the class "p-category" on my hashtags. Well that's fine but I'm pulling these in automagically and they aren't formatted that way. Changing the code by hand after import is a non-starter. Fortunately, I was able to figure out how to create an 11ty filter that will watch and change the code at build time. Here's the filter that changes "class='mention hashtag" to "class='mention p-category"
<pre>
eleventyConfig.addFilter("fixHashtagClass", function (content = "") {
return content.replace(
/class="mention\s+hashtag"/g,
'class="mention p-category"'
);
});
</pre>
<em>et voilà</em>, updated posts that will end up as linked hashtags on my <a href='https://bsky.app/profile/techlifeweb.bsky.social'>Bluesky</a> account.

<p>Rebuilding my site yet again. I had the social feed on the home page but I decided it was too cluttered so moving it to the sidebar. If I had a way to dedupe posts that originate on the site versus getting pulled back PESOS style then I might put them back on the home page. Another option would be to only post one way or the other but there are reasons. #11ty #indieweb</p>

The WKRP: Johnny Fever Mix is a three-hour playlist of great 70s rock hits compiled from every DJ break that Dr. Johnny Fever made on "WKRP in Cincinnati," with introductions and comments by the Doctor himself, news from Les Nessman, and a commercial read by Venus Flytrap.
<p><a href="https://www.awphooey.com/wkrp">https://www.awphooey.com/wkrp</a></p>
<p>I've listened to more than an hour so far and only heard one bad song.</p>
<p>A friend sent me this link, which caused us to rewatch the first episode of "WKRP." It holds up.</p>
<p>Jon Nelson, who created the mix, describes himself as a college and community radio producer, audio editor and artist.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.awphooey.com/about-1">https://www.awphooey.com/about-1</a></p>
<p>He's also done mixes for other fictional DJs.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.awphooey.com/retrofit">https://www.awphooey.com/retrofit</a></p>
<p>These include WKRP's Venus Flytrap</p>
<p><a href="https://www.awphooey.com/venus">https://www.awphooey.com/venus</a></p>
<p>and Chris in the Morning from "Northern Exposure."</p>
<p><a href="https://www.awphooey.com/kbhr">https://www.awphooey.com/kbhr</a></p>
<p>After listening to the Johnny Fever mix for a while, I remembered that there are Internet archives of hours or radio DJ sets, recorded off the air on tape, digitized, and uploaded to the Internet. I found this hour of Dan Ingram on WABC New York from September 1976.</p>
<p><a href="https://youtu.be/ryzWW-3vFjY?si=d1KO8GCGPlw457Ar">https://youtu.be/ryzWW-3vFjY?si=d1KO8GCGPlw457Ar</a></p>
<p>I was a teenager then, living in that area, and might have listened to that hour live!</p>
<p>But listening to it for a little while this morning reminded me that I didn't much like WABC; I was a 99X guy and, in the 80s, WBAB. Listening also reminded me that 99% of the pop music in the 1970s was bad. However, Sturgeon's Law probably applies here.</p>
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law</a></p>
<p>Dan Ingram had a heck of a career, well respected for his quick wit, spanning 50 years on radio stations and a little TV, including 22 years at WABC.</p>
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Ingram">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Ingram</a></p>
<p>According to Wikipedia: "One of Ingram's unique skills was his ability to 'talk up' to the lyrics of a record, meaning speaking over the musical introduction and finishing exactly at the point when the lyrics started."</p>

<p>As the fan of a West Coast #MLB National League team I'm always scrolling down the list of all the teams to see the standings. The default MLB URL lists AL first then east to west. It's a lot of scrolling all season long. I discovered quite by accident that MLB has unique URLs by team that put the division of your team at the top. For example, <a href="https://www.mlb.com/padres/standings/" target="_self" class="external-link">https://www.mlb.com/padres/standings/</a> puts the NL West at the top because that's where the Padres are. Edit and save yourself a shortcut or favorite with your teams name in place of "padres" and save yourself a season of scrolling.</p>

Looks like there are apps for all platforms or via the web <a href='https://super-productivity.com/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>https://super-productivity.com/</a>. Syncing is available via WebDAV or Dropbox. There are many features and will take some time to look into but it looks pretty cool. #Productivity #FOSS</p>

<p>A side effect of #Obsidian web clipper iis that the images can be huge when viewing your note and you have to do a lot of scrolling to get past them. So, I set out to find a solution. <a href="https://techlifeweb.com/blog/2025/05/post-2025-05-30T175849/" target="_self" class="external-link">https://techlifeweb.com/blog/2025/05/post-2025-05-30T175849/</a></p>

<p>I've been using the Obsidian Web Clipper a lot lately. Sometimes for bits and pieces of pages and sometimes full articles to read later. A nice feature is that the clipper grabs links to the images rather than taking up your storage with them. The side effect to that is that the images can be huge when viewing your note and you have to do a lot of scrolling to get past them. So, I set out to find a solution.</p>
<p>I found some nifty CSS code created by Kepano that got me about 99% of the way there. What it does it let you click and hold on an image and view it full screen. That itself is pretty cool. I added a line to the code to make it size the images down to something more manageable. Since you can click+hold and still see the whole image it gives you a very nice working solution.</p>
<h3>Examples</h3>
<p>
This screenshot is a page in my vault with an image from the International Space Station. The whole image isn't visible without scrolling down.<div style="width:60%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="screenshot is a page in my vault with an image from the International Space Station" src="https://techlifeweb.com/assets/images/No_IMG_CSS_TWEAK.png"></div>
<p>Here is the same page after I've applied the CSS. Other elements are clearly visible because the images aren't massive.<div style="width:60%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="screenshot is a page in my vault with an image from the International Space Station" src="https://techlifeweb.com/assets/images/With_IMG_CSS_TWEAK.png"></div></p>
<p>And here is the image when I'm click+holding on it. Look ma, no scrolling and you can see the whole thing!<div style="width:60%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="screenshot is a page in my vault with an image from the International Space Station" src="https://techlifeweb.com/assets/images/ClickHold_IMG_CSS_TWEAK.png"></div></p>
<h3>The code</h3>
<p>
You'll be adding custom CSS to Obsidian. If you've never done that, this guide will show you what you need to do. <a href='https://help.obsidian.md/snippets#Adding+a+snippet' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>CSS snippets - Obsidian Help</a>
Note, where it says "Create a css file", that is a simple text file with a name like "imagesize.css" or something equally clever. You'll see the name in your obsidian settings so name it something that makes sense to you. And don't put spaces in the name.
<p>Paste the code below into your cleverly named css file. Save. Refresh in Obsidian. Done.<br>
Caveats: There <em>could</em> be conflicts with your theme. This seems to work fine in Minimal and Border. In the default theme, it appears to only resize the images and not allow for the click+hold.<br>
Improvements and other ideas welcome.</p>

Missions to the Moon have used wheels to get around. Makes sense if you're on a perfectly smooth terrain of powdery regolith. But we know the surface can be rocky and crater-filled, a terrain that might be best explored by a four-legged walking robot. In a new paper, researchers explain how the gait of the robot changes its ability to do science. Fast-walking robots let you cover a lot of ground, while a slower gait senses the ground's structure with every footstep.

<p>I set up a few filters on Mastodon again for a little while. If something big happens, I'll hear about it elsewhere. For right now, I don't need these things disrupting my mental health.

<p>Remember when we were kids and someone would say something like "don't screw up! That will go on your 'Permanent Record'!!" And we were all "Yeah, right, mom/dad/person of authority you're making that up!!" And we secretly thought "God, I hope I'm right 😬!"

<p>Super handy #Obsidian community plugin for writing: Harper. From the Read Me: "The Harper plugin is a powerful, privacy-first grammar and spell-checking tool designed specifically for Obsidian users. Unlike many other grammar checkers, Harper operates entirely offline, ensuring your data remains secure while providing real-time, high-performance corrections." One thing a little confusing to me is the settings. When you first install the plugin all settings are set to "default". I'm not sure if that means on or off so I went through each setting and made sure to explicitly turn on the ones that make sense to me. It won't make my writing magically better but I like that it processes everything locally and hopefully it will help me catch errors.</p>

<p>I love how I can open #pixelfed and scroll through some great photography and the occasional meme. I have seen a couple photos from world events but overall its like taking a dip in the pool rather than wading through a swamp.</p>

<p>I've created a system on my site where I can upload photos to the Pixelfed instance I'm on and then pull the photo and content back down and post it on my site. Known as <a href='https://indieweb.org/PESOS' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>PESOS</a> on the #indieweb. I'm using #11ty and the brilliant utility <a href='https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-import?tab=readme-ov-file' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>11ty/eleventy-import</a>. The utility pulls in the Atom feed from my Pixelfed instance at build time. I also had to figure out how to create a page template to use the metadata the import utility pulls down. Added bonus was discovering a few things on site that weren't necessarily broken, just needed some tuning up.</p>

<p>Last night I finished "The End of Loneliness" by Benedict Wells. Very well written story about the journey of life. We meet Jules, the main character, and his brother and sister. Evens keeps the story moving and you wind up really caring what happens to them. Can't sugar coat it, the book is definitely a gut punch in a few places but then, so is life. 5/5 stars. #books #Booktodon <a href="https://amzn.to/4gPcjKJ" target="_self" class="external-link">https://amzn.to/4gPcjKJ</a></p>

<p>Today's deep dive into this weird world was made possible in part by a series of live phishing videos, tutorials and other secrets shared by an insider that show in unprecedented detail how these voice phishing scams can be so convincing.</p>
<p>Please share this story widely, because I learned a ton reporting this and frankly the various methods used by these groups to dox and target people are really slick.</p>
<p>From the story: "Besieged by scammers seeking to phish user accounts over the telephone, Apple and Google frequently caution that they will never reach out unbidden to users this way. However, new details about the internal operations of a prolific voice phishing gang show the group routinely abuses legitimate services at Apple and Google to force a variety of outbound communications to their users, including emails, automated phone calls and system-level messages sent to all signed-in devices."</p>

<p>I've found "The Swiss army knife of lossless video/audio editing". It's so fast you'll go looking for video to edit. #VideoEditing</p>
<p>Ever have a video that you need to just lop off the first few seconds where you had your finger in front of the lens? Or, maybe there are segments of a video you just want to separate into their own files. I've found the <em>perfect</em> utility to do all that and it works so fast you head will spin. Oh, and did I mention is it works on Windows, Mac and Linux?</p>
<p>This software is called <a href='https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/tree/master' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>Lossless Cut</a>. This uses ffmpeg but you don't need to know anything about that. You don't have to learn any crazy switches or work at the command line or terminal. Just load a video, use the "scrubber" to find the spot where you want to split your video, rinse and repeat until you have them all marked then click export. Within <em>seconds</em> your files will be created. There's no time consuming re-encoding, you're done!</p>
<p>This isn't an editor in the sense where you'll be joining files and adding music, etc. It's just meant to cut up your video. You could then add your exports into your other editors and you've just saved time later because that editor is only working with the footage you want.</p>
<p>Per github, the following formats should work: <code>MP4</code>, <code>MOV</code>, <code>WebM</code>, <code>Matroska</code>, <code>OGG</code> and <code>WAV</code>. The following audio codecs: <code>FLAC</code>, <code>MP3</code>, <code>Opus</code>, <code>PCM</code>, <code>Vorbis</code> and <code>AAC</code>. Video codecs: <code>H264</code>, <code>AV1</code>, <code>Theora</code>, <code>VP8</code>, <code>VP9</code> and <code>H265</code> (needs hardware decoder)</p>
<p>There's a quick video here:</p>

<p class="e-bridgy-mastodon-content e-bridgy-blueksy-content">
I've abandoned one of the main reasons many people use #Obsidian, the Daily Note. I just don't need a new markdown file created every day for the rest of my life. Here's what I'm doing instead.
</p>
<p class="p-name e-content">
For quite awhile now I've been using a journaling process called Interstitial Journaling*. Basically this is just writing down what and where you are and any fleeting notes you have. Some days I might only have a line or two and some days quite a lot depending on what's happening in life. It works for me but creating new files everyday via the Daily Notes plugin is just overkill.
<p>Now, I have One Big Text File (OBTF). I've seen a couple in the Obsidian community discuss this and after trying it for awhile it just works better for my brain.</p>
<p>Here's how it works: Right now, I have a file called "OBTF - 2024" and I'll make a new one on January 1, 2025. I don't <em>have</em> to create a new one, it could just go on and on but I think it will make more sense to create new notes. I could go a whole decade that way and only have 10 notes as opposed to 3650. I like this so much that after I started doing this for a week a couple months ago I went back and merged all my 2024 daily notes into my OBTF then deleted all of them.</p>
<p>Here's the way I do it:<br>
Everyday open Obsidian to the current OBTF and create a new line at the top of the file like this:</p>
<p>"##### 2024-11-30 - Saturday"</p>
<p>This creates an H5 heading with the date and day and it's easily done with the Templater Plugin. Since this file scrolls I don't really need the day of the week on there but I like seeing it later on when I scroll down and there is another benefit I'll get into in a later post. There are other people who scroll to the bottom and create their new entry there but I like this kind of blog form of writing.</p>
<p>Under the date I start each new line with a "-" character which creates unordered lists. Sometimes I enter the time if that seems relevant and sometimes just some notes I think will be handy later. Something like:</p>
<ul>
<li>13:00 got to the coffee shop to do some journaling
<ul>
<li>ran into Bill and Kate from church. They have a new puppy named Max</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Simple things like that. Later I can search or scroll the OBTF and find the entry if I'm trying to remember the name of Bill and Kate's new dog.</p>
<p>Do use a OBTF? Give your current set up some thought, it might prove a better solution for you. In a post soon, I'll get into how I'm linking to my OBTF in a way that helps bring things together in a unique way.</p>

#Obsidian #PKM Anyone have one of the latest eInk writing tablets (Kindle Scribe, Supernote, Remrkable, Boox, etc.)? I hate paper and these seem interesting. I do sync Obsidian to my phone and tablet but I've found that taking notes in a class setting is a little too fiddly. I could bring my laptop but then there's a screen popped open and I don't like that vibe. Plus the click-clacking of a keyboard. A notebook (Moleskine, etc.) is a heck of a lot cheaper than one of these eink devices and I probably shouldn't be adding one more device to my life but I thought I'd see what others are doing.</p>

#microsoft #outlook wrote back on X with these details regarding the differences between the New Outlook and a pinned browser tab:
The 'New Outlook' for Windows is indeed more than just a wrapper around the web version. While pinning a tab in your browser is convenient, the full client offers several advantages:
<ol>
<li>
<p>Offline Access: You can access your emails, calendar, and contacts even when you're offline.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Performance: The desktop client is optimized for handling large volumes of emails and calendar events smoothly.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Advanced Features: It includes rich formatting, mailbox rules, and integration with other Microsoft 365 apps.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Customization: More extensive customization options, including add-ins and custom forms.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Security: Enhanced security features like encryption and advanced threat protection.</p>

In a Microsoft environment the Outlook and To Do combo are nice because they are tightly integrated and you don't need some external software. Flag an email and it gets into To Do almost instantly. If they could just add a boards feature (kanban) it would be great. They have boards in Planner but that isn't tightly integrated and you end up with a kludge that just doesn't work well. #Productivity

I've been using Phanpy (https://phanpy.social/) as my #Mastodon client of choice on mobile and occasionally on the desktop for about <a href="https://techlifeweb.com/blog/2024/01/2024-01-31-post-042/">a year</a>. The <a href="[GitHub - cheeaun/phanpy: A minimalistic opinionated Mastodon web client](https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy?tab=readme-ov-file#boosts-carousel)">Boosts Carousel</a> is too cool, and the threaded posts just add to the experience.
<p>This evening, I was digging into the settings a bit more and whoa, next level! I always loved the Mastodon "advanced web interface" because it was like Tweetdeck of old. Phanpy lets you create columns like that on your desktop. Or, for your smaller screen devices, you can set up easy menus at the top of the screen or floating that let you easily switch between the items. For example, I have shortcuts/columns for my home feed, a list or 2 I have created, a couple hashtags I like to keep up with and one for my notifications.</p>
<p>Give Phanpy a try!</p>

Testing the #Kanban plugin for #Obsidian. I support and work on many different things, so I was thinking about not using it in the traditional Kanban method but rather lists of things all on one screen. Like a column header could be "SupportGroupA" then use that column for the things I do for that group. This actually kind of works until you go to archive the task. At that point you lose the context of what it was for because the header isn't listed with the task. I could do something like add data like a hashtag or something to the task, so I know what it relates to in the future. That looks redundant when you look a the columns. I could make separate boards but the defeats seeing everything at the same time. Should probably abandon trying to shoehorn this into Obsidian. Still working things out.

Rethinking my over usage of DataView in #Obsidian. Switching to native Obsidian things such as the backlinks pane. I keep track of projects in my vault and previously had new notes for each meeting. I'm thinking about moving away from that and just have 1 per project "ProjectName Meeting" note that I open and add to with reverse-chronological blog-style headers. So, latest meeting at the top. This way, during a meeting I can just scroll down if someone has some kind of "why did we make this decision?" question. Some meetings I have a line or 2 and some are full of notes. We'll see how it scales.

<p>In the Microsoft ToDo app you might have reasons to delete all of your completed tasks. For example, maybe you track your completes in another app like I do and want to just keep the app running smoothly. Whatever the reason, it's easy to delete things one task at a time but it isn't as straight forward if you want to delete your tasks in bulk. To get you started, here a little how to.</p>
<p>In the ToDo Desktop app do the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ensure the "Completed" smart list is showing
<ul>
<li>Click user icon in upper left</li>
<li>Click Settings</li>
<li>Scroll to Smart Lists and ensure the slider for Completed is set to On <div style="width:50%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="Screenshot of Microsoft Todo Settings" src="/assets/images/todo_del_settings.webp"></div></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Exit the settings menu and go the the Completed List
<ul>
<li>You should have different sections within the Completed list that correspond to you other lists (for example, Flagged Email) <div style="width:25%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="Screenshot of Microsoft Todo" src="/assets/images/todo_del1.webp"></div></li>
<li>Expand the list by clicking on the ">" icon next to the list name <div style="width:25%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="Screenshot of Microsoft Todo" src="/assets/images/todo_del2.webp"></div>
<ul>
<li>Note if you have many many completed items in this list you may need to wait a minute before proceeding</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Once the list is expanded, right click on the list title and select Delete Tasks (if the dialog box to click Delete Tasks doesn't show up, WAIT it can take minutes if you have a lot of tasks). You'll be asked to confirm you want to delete.
<ul>
<li>Depending on the number of tasks you have to delete it can take awhile. There is a kind of scrolling dot indicator at the top of the To Do window to indicate there is something happening.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Repeat the process for each lists you would like to clean up</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>if you deleted many items it might take a long time for everything to sync. Be patient! Clicking on your user icon in the upper left will show you if the app is still syncing.</p>

Today's side quest is figuring out how to have a collection in #11ty that is sortable by title and lets me pass in a tag.
This code below works but isn't dynamic in that the tag "garden" is hard coded. I can't seem to figure out how to make the tag part more flexible so I can use it anytime with other tags and not have to build different collections.
<pre>
eleventyConfig.addCollection("myCustomSort", function(collectionApi) {
return collectionApi.getFilteredByTag("garden").sort((a, b) => {
return a.data.title.localeCompare(b.data.title);
});
});

Headed to Boston tomorrow. Hoping to have time Sunday to do some exploring. Last year I went to the USS Constitution museum which was excellent but by the time I got through it was raining and the Navy didn't want people on board the ship because of lightning. So I'll head over there again if the weather holds. Also, the refurbishing is done and scaffolding down on the Bunker Hill monument so I may wander up there.

Have you ever wanted to mute posts with certain keywords on Mastodon? Here's how to do it. | How to Set Up Filters on Mastodon <a href='https://techlifeweb.com/blog/2024/07/2024-07-26-post-184700/'>https://techlifeweb.com/blog/2024/07/2024-07-26-post-184700/</a> #mastodon

Every once in awhile there is something big happening in the world and you want to avoid reading about it or stay clear of spoilers. Right now, we have the Summer Olympics starting in Paris so that could fall into either camp depending on your love of sports.
<p>Fortunately, Mastodon makes it pretty easy to filter out posts containing key words. You can even set a time limit so that later on you don't have to remember to go back and turn off the filter. I did this once for the words "Biden" and "Trump" and my feed was blissfully silent on those topics. It isn't like your head is in the sand. I mean if something really big happens, you're going to hear about it through some other channel and you can simply disable the filter and posts with those key words will start flowing again.</p>
<p>Here's how to make it work:</p>
<ul>
<li>Open Mastodon and click Edit Profile</li>
<li>On the left hand side, click "Filters" and the click the Add Filter button</li>
<li>Title your filter anything you want</li>
<li>Choose an exportation. From 30 minutes on up through never</li>
</ul>
<div style="width:60%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="" src="/assets/images/20240726202754.webp"></div>
<ul>
<li>Next, choose where you want the filter to apply. I usually choose "Home and Lists" and "Public Timelines". I leave the others because if I'm having a conversation, I don't want to miss something. And I don't look at profiles all the time so no need to filter those.</li>
</ul>
<div style="width:60%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="" src="/assets/images/20240726204546.webp"></div>
<ul>
<li>Next choose if you want to hide completely or behind a warning. This depends on your level of paranoia. If you choose to simply hide then you will get a message like this with the title of your filter show you which one did the hiding.</li>
</ul>
<div style="width:60%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="" src="/assets/images/20240726205137.webp"></div>
<ul>
<li>Next enter you keyword or phrase. If you want to add more than one, click "+Add Keyword" below the box. Note that this is an OR. That is, if you put in another keyword such as "Paris" in this case, you will be filtering our any posts with "Paris" in them, not just posts with "Olympics". That probably isn't what you want.</li>
<li>Click "Save Changes" and you're done!</li>
</ul>
<p>Hope that helps you have a more peaceful feed of posts and avoid spoilers.</p>

I've lived in the USA my whole life. I've decided to teach myself to think in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit when it comes to the weather. Of course we had to use it in school for classes like Chemistry but I've never needed it day to day. I've switched my phone and our home indoor/outdoor weather center. We'll see how it goes. 30 is hot 🥵, 20 is nice 😊, 10 is cool 😐, 0 is ice 🥶. Old dog, new tricks.

I have a trip coming up so I've been trying out this #Obsidian plugin for building Itineraries. <a href='https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-itinerary?tab=readme-ov-file'>https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-itinerary?tab=readme-ov-file</a>. It's a nice way to keep things in markdown and have the plugin present them in the form of a calendar. Using it in conjunction the Templater plugin is nice because you don't have to remember the syntax for making an entry. Not really sure if it makes sense to use over some kind of calendar app or an app like Tripit. Testing continues.

Found an interesting plugin for Obsidian called Webpage Export <a href='https://github.com/KosmosisDire/obsidian-webpage-export'>https://github.com/KosmosisDire/obsidian-webpage-export</a>. Really interesting for building simple static websites. You'd build you things in Obsidian as usual, click export et viola you have static html to upload wherever you want. I'm still considering where it will fit in my online life. I may rip and replace everything or just add on as a digital garden.

I created a system for automating creation of "repost-of" Mastodon Boosts on my site. <a href='https://techlifeweb.com/blog/2024/04/2024-04-30-post-222614/'>https://techlifeweb.com/blog/2024/04/2024-04-30-post-222614/</a> #11ty #Obsidian #indieweb

<p class="p-name e-content">
Sometimes I build crazy things. I get an idea for something and then I attempt to cobble it together. Mostly non-repeatable by anyone other than me but they keep me entertained. I'd rather spend hours trying to figure things like this out than play video games.
<p>Recently I was thinking about how I could ease the creation of Mastodon Boosts in the form of using the Indieweb idea of a "<a href='https://indieweb.org/repost'>repost-of</a>".</p>
<p>From that link:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Why implement reposting:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Retweet from your own site.</strong> Incrementally supporting reposts, especially with <a href="https://indieweb.org/POSSE" title="POSSE" target="_self" class="external-link">POSSE</a> to Twitter, enables you to "retweet" from your own site, rather than depending on Twitter to do so.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>This in turn ensures a copy of anything you retweet on your own site, in case the original is deleted/removed etc.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>The side benefit, for me, is I can search my own content for that link that I thought was interesting at some point.</p>
<p>Sure, I could just click the "Boost" button on my Mastodon client but that's just too easy. Instead, with my new system, I click the Bookmark button and that unleashes a crazy stream of events all in the effort of doing repost-of.</p>
<p>The first piece of this "house of cards" is a nifty service called <a href='https://bookmark-rss.woodland.cafe/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>Mastodon Bookmark RSS</a>. It's fairly straight forward but, Fabrizio Musacchio has a great write up on how to use it here: <a href='https://www.fabriziomusacchio.com/blog/2023-01-25-mastodon_bookmarks_as_rss_feed/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>How to get an RSS feed of your Mastodon bookmarks</a></p>
<p>The next piece requires a bit of background. This site is built with <a href='https://www.11ty.dev/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>Eleventy</a> (aka 11ty). Eleventy is a simpler static site generator. Among other things you can use simple Markdown to create the pages. I have the wonderful PKM tool Obsidian sitting on top of my 11ty source folder. In Obsidian terms, the Source folder is an Obsidian "Vault". This lets me interact with the files using Obsidian as a kind of "Front End". That works well for site content. For 11ty code manipulation I can light up VS Code and work with the tiles that way instead.</p>
<p>Inside the above mentioned Obsidian Vault I am running a plugin called <a href='obsidian://show-plugin?id=simple-rss'> Simple RSS</a>. And the <a href="obsidian://show-plugin?id=templater-obsidian">Templater</a> plugin. Templater does the magic of converting code slugs into usable things like dates.</p>
<p>Simple RSS does the work of pulling in the feed that I set up in Mastodon Bookmarks to RSS. For that you have to go to the plugin's setting and first create a "Feed Type". I used the creative name "Mastodon" for mine. It looks like this:</p>
<div style="width:80%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="Screenshot of the Feed Type settings" src="/assets/images/20240430214006.webp"></div>
<p>Next, you need to set up the feed. You choose a name, enter the url. The "Type" is the one you created above. The posts get pulled in an placed in the folder you enter into the path field. In the title field I use the title the feed has for each entry. That code is particular to this plugin. Then in the template I have a bunch of code for how I want the post to look on my website. Getting this right can be a little tricky because you don't have tons of control over the actual body section. Mine looks like:</p>
<div style="width:80%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="Screenshot of the Feed settings" src="/assets/images/20240430214205.webp"></div>
<p>You can have the plugin run on a schedule or you can just click the icon in your Obsidian sidebar and it will pull in the latest entries.</p>
<p>The template I've created is built with microformats that <a href='https://brid.gy/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>Bridgy</a> understands. When my site is built and uploaded I have a script that sends a <a href='https://indieweb.org/Webmention' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>Webmention</a> to Bridgy and it does the magic creating a <a href='https://brid.gy/about#like' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>repost</a> on Mastodon on my behalf.</p>
<p>Yep, it's a kind of crazy but it was fun to figure out. And, if it stops working, not really the end of the world.</p>

<a class="u-in-reply-to" href="https://techlifeweb.com/blog/2024/04/2024-04-01-post-204707/">Earlier this evening</a> I was trying to figure out if I could have Obsidian Tasks community plugin <a href='https://github.com/obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks'>https://github.com/obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks</a> alongside checklists. The Tasks plugin is nice for many reasons. One being that it prompts you with some values to help you set due dates and also automatically records when you complete a task. You can turn off the default stamping of completion dates but I find it handy.
<p>In my mind, a checklist doesn't really need a date completed. Let's take a Packing List as an example. If I mark the "Shirts" item as done that merely indicates to me that the item is in my bag I have no reason to have a date on there.</p>
<p>The solution to this is custom statuses in Obsidian Tasks.</p>
<img class="u-photo" alt="Screenshot of Obsidian Custom Statuses" src="/assets/images/obsidian_tasks_custom_statuses.png" />
<p>In Obsidian Tasks settings you can set all kinds of custom statuses. Here I have set 2 of them. What this allows is for me to create a note and put in the markdown something like:</p>
<pre class="">- [?] Shirts
- [?] Socks
- [?] Jeans
</pre>
<p>When I click on one of the list entries, it fills the check box with 'o'. In other words, lets say I've packed my Shirts and Socks, the list would look like:</p>
<pre class="">- [o] Shirts
- [o] Socks
- [?] Jeans
</pre>
<p>The advantage here is that the way I have these states set up in the settings, neither one is a 'DONE' state to the Tasks Plugin. Thus, we don't get the date stamp. Exactly what I want for this purpose.</p>
<p>Here's the non-markdown view of the above:</p>
<img class="u-photo" alt="Screenshot of Obsidian packing list checklist" src="/assets/images/Packing_List.png" />
<p>Happy list making in Obsidian!<br>

The NYT is recommending Cascade somehow as the best dishwasher detergent. The last two people who serviced our (now 15-year-old) beloved and very quiet Miele dishwasher said don't ever put that crap in your machine.
<p>We used the exact same pods recommended by NYT and it made our dishwasher stink and it didn't get things clean.</p>
<p>My wife ended up making a homemade version that uses mostly natural stuff plus a pinch of something like Oxyclean. Best detergent ever used, and that's all we use now.</p>
<p>In case anyone is interested, here's the recipe:</p>
<p>DIY Dishwasher Detergent<br>
YIELD: 4 1/2 CUPS / 2.2 LB (ENOUGH FOR 36 LOADS OF DISHES)</p>
<p>1 cup / 225 g super washing soda (sodium carbonate)<br>
1 cup / 225 g powdered oxygen bleach (sodium percarbonate)<br>
1/4 cup / 62 g table salt (sodium chloride)<br>
50 drops lemon essential oil<br>
12 drops peppermint essential oil<br>
10 drops lavender essential oil</p>
<p>Washing soda and oxygen bleach are skin sensitizing. I recommend wearing nitrile gloves while you prepare this DIY and washing your hands afterward.</p>
<p>Mix dry ingredients. Add washing soda, powdered oxygen bleach, and table salt into a large, non-metallic mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.</p>
<p>Add essential oils and stir until everything is thoroughly combined.</p>
<p>The essential oils will accumulate in small clusters at first. Keep<br>
stirring to break them apart.<br>
Transfer the detergent powder into an airtight glass jar or storing<br>
container. Store sealed in a dry place, protected from moisture.<br>
Use about 2 tablespoons per load.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@briankrebs/110941593884103231"></a></p></blockquote></p>

If you are dreaming of exploring the beautiful sights and cultures of Europe, you may need to take an extra step before booking your flight. Starting in 2024, American passport holders will need to apply for an online authorization form called ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) to visit 30 European countries.
<p>ETIAS is not a visa, but rather a security check that will allow you to stay in Europe for up to 90 days within any 180-day period23. It will cost you 7 euros (about $8) and will be valid for three years or until your passport expires.</p>
<p>The ETIAS system is similar to the ESTA program that the U.S. implemented in 2008 for travelers from certain countries. It is designed to enhance border security and prevent terrorism and irregular migration.</p>
<p>To apply for ETIAS, you will need to fill out a form online or on your mobile phone, providing personal information, passport details and answers to some questions about your health and criminal history. You should apply at least a month before your trip, as the approval process may take up to 30 days in some cases.</p>
<p>You can check the full list of countries that require ETIAS <a href='https://travel-europe.europa.eu/system/files/2022-11/These%2030%20European%20countries%20require%20ETIAS_en.pdf'>here</a>(PDF) ''. Some of the popular destinations include France, Italy, Spain, Germany and Greece.</p>
<p>So don’t let this new requirement stop you from planning your next European adventure. Just make sure you have your ETIAS approval ready before you board your plane, train, bus or cruise ship. Happy travels! 😊</p>
<p>Stay up to date on the current information by visiting the official ETIAS website: <a href='https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en'>https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en</a></p>

<ol>
<li>
<p>Liking a post does not affect its visibility. Instead, use the like button to let a user know that you find them to be irresistibly attractive and would like to become their internet soulmate.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Instead of saying orthodontist on here, we say mastodontist. This is important to know.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Tell us about yourself! Write either "pro-cannibalism" or "anti-caniballism" in your bio to avoid simple misunderstandings.<a href="https://indieweb.social/@lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social/110542983662366793"></a></p></blockquote></p>

Were the government to simply demand access to a device's location instead, it would be considered a Fourth Amendment “search” and would require a judge's sign-off. But because companies are willing to sell the information—not only to the US government but to other companies as well—the government considers it “publicly available” and therefore asserts that it “can purchase it.”'</p>

<p>The Moon formed when a Mars-sized object slammed into the Earth billions of years ago. As the Moon orbited around the Earth, its tidal interactions carried it slowly away from the planet, slowing down Earth's rotation. For about a billion years, a day on Earth lasted 19 hours before it continued to slow down to the current 24-hour day. Geologists have developed a new technique for measuring the length of Earth's day using sedimentary layers that change over long periods following the Earth's orbit and rotation.</p>

To make sure you are seeing all the interesting post on a particular hashtag on Mastodon, you can easily follow them when logged into Mastodon. But wouldn't it be cool to have these posts delivered straight to your RSS reader? The good news is, its easy. You just need the right URL. To do that you need: the server address of your Mastodon instance and the hashtag you want to follow. Then you form it like this:
<pre class="">https://[your_mastodon_server]/tags/[yourhashtag].rss
</pre>
<p>For example, if you are on mastodon.social and you want to follow the hashtag #sandiego you would use:<br>
<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sandiego.rss" target="_self" class="external-link">https://mastodon.social/tags/sandiego.rss</a></p>
<p>Click the above link and you'll see the RSS!</p>
<p>Now just copy that link into your favorite RSS reader and you'll never miss a post on your favorite topics.</p>

I was having an issue where Microsoft edge was not resolving www.amazon.com. My router is set to ensure all clients use the DNS servers I want them to use. I think this was what was causing the issue. To fix this, I went into Edge's DNS settings by going to this URL:
<pre class="">edge://settings/?search=dns

<p>Then turn on "Use secure DNS to specify how to lookup the network address for websites"<br>
and select "Use current service provider" see screenshot below.<br>

<p class="p-name e-content">
If you're like me, you probably hate the Twitter algorithm. You know, the one that decides what tweets you see on your timeline based on some mysterious criteria. The one that shows you tweets from people you don't follow, or tweets that are hours or days old. The one that buries the tweets from your favorite accounts or topics under a pile of irrelevant noise.
<p>Well, I have a solution for you: Twitter Lists. Twitter Lists are a way to create your own custom timelines based on the accounts or topics you choose. You can make as many lists as you want, and they will only show you the tweets from the accounts you add to them. No more algorithm messing with your feed!</p>
<p>Here's how to set up a Twitter List on mobile:</p>
<ul>
<li>Go to your profile</li>
<li>Tap on Lists.</li>
<li>Tap on the plus icon in the lower right corner to create a new list.</li>
<li>Give your list a name and a description (optional).</li>
<li>Tap on Create.</li>
<li>Tap on Add members to start adding accounts to your list. You can search by username or browse by category.</li>
<li>Tap on Done when you're finished adding accounts.</li>
</ul>
<p>On your computer you can add people to Twitter lists on a web browser by following these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to the Twitter website and log in.</li>
<li>Click "More" then “Lists” from the menu at the side.</li>
<li>Click the “New List” icon at the top.</li>
<li>Fill out the Name, Description (optional), and set the list to either be Public or Private.</li>
<li>Click “Next”.</li>
<li>Click “Add” on the Suggested accounts that pop up if they are relevant. If not, click “Done”.</li>
<li>To add people to your list, click on their username on any of your existing Twitter streams and click “Add To List”.</li>
</ol>
<p>To add people you are following to your list I find it easiest to the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>go to <a href="https://twitter.com/YOUR_TWITTER_NAME_HERE/following" target="_self" class="external-link">https://twitter.com/YOUR_TWITTER_NAME_HERE/following</a></li>
<li>Click on the username of the person you want to add to your list, , click on the three dots, select Add/remove from Lists, and then choose the List you want to add them to</li>
</ul>
<p>Not going to lie, it's very tedious and time-consuming. You have to do this for every single person you want to add. Why can't there be a faster and easier way to do this? Like a drag-and-drop feature or a bulk selection option. At this point in the tire fire that is Twitter, this isn't likely to improve. I used the opportunity to go through my Following list and unfollow accounts that don't tweet much or lately and the ones I've lost interest in. Then I added to my new List the ones I really don't want to miss. Then, slowly when I have some slack time, I add more.</p>
<p>The plus side of all this tediousness is that, looking at the posts on my new List, I'm seeing posts from accounts I've forgotten about and didn't even know they are still tweeting! That, my friends, is why the algorithm sucks.</p>
<p>That's it! You can now access your list by going back to the Lists tab and tapping on it. You can also pin your list to your home screen for easy access by tapping on the pin icon next to it.</p>
<p>You can create as many lists as you want, and edit or delete them anytime. You can also make your lists public or private, and follow other people's lists if they are public.</p>
<p>Twitter Lists are a great way to customize your Twitter experience and avoid the annoying algorithm. Give them a try and let me know what you think!</p></p>

<p class="e-content">If you're looking for a pair of wireless earbuds that can deliver high-quality sound, block out unwanted noise, and last for hours on a single charge, you might want to check out the Soundcore Space A40 earbuds. These are the latest noise cancelling earbuds from soundcore, a brand known for its innovative audio products.
<p>The Soundcore Space A40 earbuds have several features that make them stand out from the crowd. First of all, they have adaptive noise cancelling technology that automatically adjusts to your environment. Whether you're in a quiet office, a busy street, or a noisy airplane, the earbuds will reduce noise by up to 98% and let you enjoy your personal space.</p>
<p>Secondly, they have soundcore's pioneering double-layer diaphragm drivers that deliver sound with strong bass, clear mids, and bright treble. The earbuds also support LDAC technology for high-resolution sound and have a HearID Sound 2.0 feature that lets you customize your sound profile according to your hearing preferences.</p>
<p>Thirdly, they have an impressive battery life of up to 50 hours with the charging case. You can listen for up to 10 hours on a single charge and get an extra 4 full charges from the case. The earbuds also support wireless charging and fast charging for convenience.</p>
<p>Lastly, they have a comfortable and lightweight design that fits snugly in your ears. The earbuds come with 5 sizes of flexible silicone ear tips to ensure a stable and noise-blocking fit. They also have 6 microphones and an AI algorithm for clear calls and a transparency mode for hearing your surroundings when needed.</p>
<p>One of my favorite features that they go into pairing mode as soon as the case is opened. This way, once paired, they are ready to go by the time you put them into your ears. Also, they can be used in mono mode in either ear. Even with hear-through modes with the app I like to use a single earbud when walking to keep alert to traffic or other people.</p>
<p>The Soundcore Space A40 earbuds are a great choice for anyone who wants to enjoy high-quality sound and noise cancellation in any situation. They are available in white or black colors and come with a USB-C cable and a user manual. You can buy them from soundcore's official website or from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1LVC5VZ?th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=techlifeblogg-20&linkId=d4341f86646941018ffd7d0d35214c86&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Amazon</a> for $99.99.</p><br>

<p>@tww Mastodon has RSS ( https://[<a href="http://server.name" target="_self" class="external-link">server.name</a>]/@[username].rss ). You could use that and IFTTT to save the links as files. The downside is IFTTT stores files as .txt rather than .md so you'd need to figure out how to convert that when you get it for use with #Obsidian<br>

<p>I'm not going to go on about the whys and wherefores surrounding getting started with Mastodon. I'll include some links at the end of this that go over all that.</p>
<p>I started to collect information to write this post and came across this excellent post: <a href="https://axbom.com/mastodon-tips/" target="_self" class="external-link">10 quick Mastodon tips</a>. It is a great overview and includes some nice graphics to explain things. I highly recommend reading it to familiarize yourself with how Mastodon works.</p>
<p>These tips and tricks are for once you've set up your account and now need to know what to get things done. They are a bit redundant if you read the link above but I'll leave them here anyway. I plan to add to this page as I find other useful tips.</p>
<h3 id="tips-for-twitter-users" tabindex="-1">Tips for Twitter Users <a class="external-link" href="#tips-for-twitter-users" aria-hidden="true" target="_self">#</a></h3>
<ul>
<li>Add your Mastodon link to your Twitter profile
<ul>
<li>The format for this is @yourusername@yourmastodonserver. For example, mine is <a href="https://indieweb.social/@techlifeweb" target="_self" class="external-link">@techlifeweb@indieweb.social</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Find your Twitter follow/followers on Mastodon
<ul>
<li><s>An easy way to do this is to use <a href="https://pruvisto.org/debirdify/" target="_self" class="external-link">debirdify</a>. debirdify uses the Twitter API to find any users you follow that are on Mastodon. All you do is authorize debirdify to access your Twitter account and it cans through looking for links to Mastodon in Twitter profiles (this is why it is important to link to Mastodon in your Twitter profile as above)</s> 2025-12-03 Sadly, this site is no longer available. If you are a developer, the author has the code on <a href='https://github.com/pruvisto/debirdify' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>GitHub - pruvisto/debirdify</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Enable a Tweetdeck-like interface on your laptop
<ul>
<li>Open Mastodon and then click Preferences > Appearance then check "Enable advanced web interface"</li>
<li>If you then click on a hashtag or search for one a new column will open. If you want to make that new column a permanent part of your interface, click the 'Show Settings' button at the top of the column. Then click Pin.
<ul>
<li>Once you pin it you can open the column settings again and add more hashtags. You can have it include any or all additional hashtags or block tweets that include certain hashtags.</li>
</ul>

<li>Language preferences
<ul>
<li>In Mastodon's web interface and click on Other, you'll see a list of languages at the bottom you can use to control which posts you'll see.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>There is an RSS feed of your posts aka Toots

<p>The San Diego Zoo is a wonderful place for families. I’ve been going there my whole life and always enjoy seeing the animals and the smiles on the face of kids seeing their favorite animals often for the first time. If you have never been to the Zoo, the first thing you’ll find out rather quickly after you enter the gates is that it is built on a series of hills and valleys. Some of them much steeper than others.</p>
<p>The Zoo does offer solutions to help with getting around. There is the Bus Tour which takes you around the park and a guide points out the animals. There is also a Kangaroo Bus that lets you hop on and off at different points in the park. Another new addition is the Discovery Cart Tour which is a more personal tour than the Bus and might be good if you have a large family. However, these can add to your expenses for the day, and to see things up close, you need to get off the roads that those vehicles travel on.</p>
<p>Most people fail to come up with a good plan, so the hills don’t wear them out too early in the day. All too often I see parents struggling to push their strollers up hills or dealing with fussy young kids who are worn out. It isn’t their fault; nobody tells you about this before you go. Once there, the excitement takes over, you grab a map at the gate and try to come up with a plan. Often, it’s just pick something you want to see and head that way.</p>
<p>That’s why I wrote this guide. I’ve spent lots of time thinking about this and wandering around the Zoo trying out different paths to determine the best zoo routes. That said, hills are unavoidable. This guide will show you how to take as many of them as possible going downhill. My goal here is to help people enjoy the Zoo as much as I do. There is no wrong way to walk to the Zoo but these family-friendly zoo tips can help make it easier.</p>
<p>A couple of points before we start. First, I’m not affiliated with the San Diego Zoo, just a long time Member and fan. Second, this isn’t meant to be a guide to the animals you will see on the routes. Take your time, enjoy the sights and sounds, and refer to this along the way.</p>
<p><em>Let’s go</em>!</p>
<p><strong>Front Street</strong></p>
<p>Once you enter the Zoo you’ll be on Front Street. Grab a <a href="https://zoo.sandiegozoo.org/sites/default/files/2022-01/San_Diego_Zoo_01-03-22_Guest_Map_Optimized.pdf" target="_self" class="external-link">map</a> or get the Zoo's official app for <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/san-diego-zoo-travel-guide/id1438051921?mt=8" target="_self" class="external-link">iOS</a> or <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seamgen.sandiegozoo.zoo&hl=en" target="_self" class="external-link">Android</a>. You’ll need the map because I’ll be referring to “map locator’ numbers on the map. The biggest problem I have with the map is that it is not to scale. Looking at it makes it very hard to figure out which path to go down. In a couple of confusing spots, an employee is posted to help you out with directions.<br>
If you are standing with your back to the entrance, you could head to the left and visit the Reptile House, Reptile Walk, and the Children’s Zoo (currently closed for construction). There are no big hills there so I tend to save this for the end of the day. Because of that, this guide will start you off going into the heart of the zoo.</p>
<h3 id="into-the-heart-of-the-zoo" tabindex="-1"><strong>Into The Heart of the Zoo</strong> <a class="external-link" href="#into-the-heart-of-the-zoo" aria-hidden="true" target="_self">#</a></h3>
<p>1️⃣ Find Treetops Way between Map Locator 4 and the ticket booths and follow that to the Orangutan enclosure on the right.</p>
<p><strong>Monkey Trail</strong></p>
<p>2️⃣ Follow the brief Orangutan Trail until it exits back onto Treetops way right near Zoo Brew.</p>
<p>3️⃣ Take Treetops Way left toward the zoo exit and shortly you will see Monkey Trail. on your right.</p>
<p><strong>To Tiger Trail</strong><br>

<p>4️⃣ Follow Monkey Trail down to Tiger Trail. Keep left when you see the sign for Tiger Trail.</p>
<p>5️⃣ Follow Tiger Trail down to the tigers. You will be passing by the lower part of their enclosure and there are 3 opportunities to see them. If they are down by the glass, it is a nice up-close view.</p>
<p>At the end of Tiger Trail, you will see the plaques as reminders of donors that made these exhibits possible. As you pass by them, the trail leads to the left and down to Hippo Trail.</p>
<p><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3eL0xdbY7d3ls-ayzx32eSXcZyQ80RbgOvVO_fXBIPGias2xmWdMGGWQ4L-IC_prq2kVbCFInp1hJIe_3gPNpiiAuV7BIHkPNkYOWUiXwlAdi_xFuqfPYRL2MTX4GfnP5MpH7eQAgVlaznBof3xIG0Pyg=w1139-h854-no?is-pending-load=1" alt="">🔅 TIGER TIP: If you missed a good view of the tigers because they were at the top of the enclosure, turn right just past the plaques and before you head down to Hippo Trail. You’ll go up a walk that is a bit steep but it is worth it for the tigers. The walk ends at the door to the aviary. After you view the tigers, head <em>back</em> down to Hippo Trail.</p>
<p>6️⃣ Hippo Trail ends at Map Locator 14.<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3fKarSmc8FyEc3H0xLpcAQhpNlDTlQbBjNgLkqhU7_NRqJDUjOQjB0io-5xHZIHYodjb3NwGIRQ78AyJyvfuSy_OY1sIVtcNMdkbNtMaJlpX-p9jmYlmAGgi0p_vCoO0m0GkzDJ7QRirbk9o9EBmYZjzg=w1139-h854-no?is-pending-load=1" alt=""></p>
<p>At that point, go to your right. The middle of the zoo doesn’t have a Locator. It is the elevator up to the Bashor Bridge. The ground floor of the elevator is right near The Pagoda.</p>
<p>7️⃣ Take the elevator (or climb the 116 stairs) up.<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3fUJNOqJ7iXhCJKIHVo41SlBQ4zpaoHD2QnkKrZbnX3cBVn4SksJ0gKdZ9kZs3z_dKf8lqYvVhO33fTue8R9jev0U7vngeh3xdbs9SwJYDcQhMCk0jQmWM7xhVr4avw4X7u00nJvzxt4jZlM80iZuZPmg=w1219-h914-no" alt=""></p>

<p>Last month, a week or so before Christmas, I received an email from Lt. Denise Garcia of the U.S. Navy. Now email from the Navy isn’t something that occurs often for me so I opened that one ahead of the others in my in-box that day. That email was like getting an early Christmas present as it contained an invitation to join 7 other bloggers aboard a Los Angeles Class Fast-Attack Nuclear Submarine.</p>
<p>I had to read it a couple of times. Really? Me?</p>
<p>I learned that my friend Jenn Van Grove, who I know from Twitter and several Twitter Meetups, had included my name on a list she gave to Lt. Garcia. Also, ours would be the first group of bloggers that the Navy has invited on a submarine.</p>
<p>Our amazing trip was this past Friday, January 15, 2010.</p>
<p>My fellow honorary submariners are:</p>

<p>The group of us and Denise met Thursday night at <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/celadon-san-diego" target="_self" class="external-link">Celadon</a> in Hillcrest for dinner and as a kind oficebreakerr. This was something we arranged on our own but I think it really added to the trip. Eachof us knew some of the others but not everyone. Denise was able to answer questions as well as give us some information about what we would be experiencing the next day. Good food, good times and an early evening as we had to be at the submarine base in Pt. Loma at 7:30 a.m. on Friday.</p>
<h2 id="morning-briefing" tabindex="-1">Morning Briefing <a class="external-link" href="#morning-briefing" aria-hidden="true" target="_self">#</a></h2>
<div style="float:none;"> We met Friday in a parking lot just outside the base. Here, Denise gave us permits to drive onto the base and we carpooled together the short distance from there to the pier where the <div style="float:left;width:20%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="USS Hampton Logo" src="/assets/images/Hampton_logo.png"></div>submarine would be. We were each given name tags and divided into 2 groups to facilitate tours through the sub. For security reasons, it wasn’t until then that we learned that we would be aboard the USS Hampton (SSN 767)
<p>At 8:00 things came to a stop as we had Colors and the Star Spangled Banner played. Then it was across a gangway to the sub, into an open hatch, and down a vertical ladder into the sub. It was immediately apparent why the 2 groups. Having all 8 of us in one spot would just clog things up.<div style="float:right;width:60%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="Video screen with our schedule for the day" src="/assets/images/Schedule.png"></div></p>
<p>We all went to the Wardroom where we were briefed on what we would be doing for the day.</div></p>
<p>My group was the first to go up to the control room and attack center where I was able to watch the men control the sub. I also got to go into the sonar room where I was given a set of headphones to listen in on what we could hear around us.</p>
<p>There is so much information coming at you on these screens. It was incredible. The screens in the control center aren’t dedicated to a specific task. One minute they could be displaying sonar contacts and the next they could be displaying a live video feed from the periscope. Also, interesting is that these systems are COTS (commercial off the shelf) which keeps costs low and enables them to be easily switched out or upgraded.</p>
<h2 id="dive!" tabindex="-1">Dive! <a class="external-link" href="#dive!" aria-hidden="true" target="_self">#</a></h2>
<p>Around 10:00 we reached our dive point. I was in the control room when the order was given. The Hampton was put at a 5-degree angle down and we started to slip beneath the surface. I was really looking forward to this. It was quick and silent. I was standing by a monitor that was receiving a video feed from periscope 2 and shot this little video of our dive:</p>
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/v3XBn0vAGO8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<h2 id="angles-and-dangles" tabindex="-1">Angles and Dangles <a class="external-link" href="#angles-and-dangles" aria-hidden="true" target="_self">#</a></h2>
<p>When we had reached a certain depth we went through a procedure the men call “Angles and Dangles.” During this procedure, the sub dives deep and then comes back up, both at a steep angle. You need to grab hold of something because at 25 degrees you are really leaning! One of the reasons for going through this procedure is that everything not secure will fall. Falling objects make noise and noise and submarines do not mix. Silence is your friend.</p>
<p>Also demonstrated for us was the crew coming to battle stations. A flurry of activity in very limited space occurs. Orders and acknowledgments fly. The bunch of us press ourselves out of the way as best we can in the tight control room. Everything is like clockwork. Torpedo tubes flooded. The order was given to fire! A quick shift in air pressure occurs that makes your ears pop as the torpedo leaves the tube. Today it was a ‘water slug’ which is basically a flooded torpedo tube with no torpedo in it. Torpedo away, the sub turns and moves. Fast.</p>
<h2 id="weapons-demonstration" tabindex="-1">Weapons Demonstration <a class="external-link" href="#weapons-demonstration" aria-hidden="true" target="_self">#</a></h2>
<p>We went down to the torpedo room where the sub has 4 torpedo tubes and <div style="float:right;width:50%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="View down the USS Hampton's torpedo tube" src="/assets/images/viewdowntorpedotube.JPG"></div> watched a demonstration of a torpedo, this one inert for training purposes, being loaded into the tube. The torpedoes are 19ft long and only slightly less in diameter than the tube. Here is a picture looking down torpedo tube #1. The Pacific Ocean is about 20 feet away on the other side of that door at the end.</p>
<p>Loading that torpedo is a precision maneuver with no room for error. Orders are shouted, acknowledgments given fore and aft of the torpedo as it is moved on its hydraulic rails into the tube.</p>
<h2 id="lunch" tabindex="-1">Lunch <a class="external-link" href="#lunch" aria-hidden="true" target="_self">#</a></h2>
<div style="float:left;width:35%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="Our lunch menu" src="/assets/images/Lunch_Menu.jpg"></div>After the weapons demonstration we made our way back to the Wardroom where lunch was served. With all the excitement of the morning, I was hungry! The chef on the Hampton did not disappoint.
<p>There was a menu at each of our places. From the soup options, I chose tomato and, while you could have had all three deserts I chose the ice cream. There was also fresh bread and pitchers of water, Diet Coke, and juice. Everything was good.</p>
<p>After lunch, the groups switched places. The others went up to the control room and my group went to the places they had been in the morning.</p>
<h2 id="afternoon" tabindex="-1">Afternoon <a class="external-link" href="#afternoon" aria-hidden="true" target="_self">#</a></h2>
<p>We went back to the torpedo room for a closer look at the controls and the tubes themselves. We also saw the auxiliary diesel engine, crew meeting room, crew mess room, and galley.<div style="float:right;width:40%;"><img class="u-photo" alt="Me having a look though periscope 2" src="/assets/images/meatscop2.jpg"></div></p>
<p>Later we went up to the control room again. I believe we were around 60ft below the surface and we had a demonstration of an ‘Emergency Blow’. This is where air is forced into the ballast tanks and the sub rises rapidly to the surface. Felt like a quick elevator ride.</p>
<h2 id="an-amazing-day" tabindex="-1">An amazing day <a class="external-link" href="#an-amazing-day" aria-hidden="true" target="_self">#</a></h2>
<p>We saw and did so much it is really had to distill it into a blog post. Everyone I encountered was ready to answer questions and proud of their amazing machine. And they should be. I am honored to have been included on this historic first blogger submarine embark.</p>
<p>Thanks to Commodore Genoble, Lt. Garcia, and the men of the USS Hampton for your hospitality and an amazing adventure!</p>
