Mam dwie web apki zainstalowane na localhost, bez których już ciężko byłoby funkcjonować:
1. #Readeck: artykuły zapisane na później do poczytania, lokalnie, przez wtyczkę do browsera. Świetny: https://readeck.org/
2. #Hister: lokalna wyszukiwarka, która przez wtyczkę w browserze indeksuje strony, które odwiedzam. Tak, Mastodona też ;) Łatwo znajduję, co czytałem. Świetna: https://hister.org
Polecam 👍

New in Hister: @wallabag is now available as an import source.
Import bookmarks from your wallabag instance and search them alongside your browsing history, files, and saved pages.
One more way to keep your knowledge searchable and under your control.

Całkiem ciekawa aplikacja, która na naszym komputerze uruchamia wyszukiwarkę indeksującą treści, które uruchamiamy w przeglądarce. Dzięki temu możemy po czasie wyszukać link, który nam się podobał, ale już go nie pamiętamy.

And since binding to `0.0.0.0` now requires `server.base_url` to be set, also add `base_url: http://localhost:4433` (or your actual URL). Neither of these breaking changes are mentioned in the release notes (?).
2. **`hister reindex` is required** after upgrading due to a new index format.

@ArtByPatrick wow, thank you, I appreciate your offer. Your reference arts are incredible and very versatile - I especially love the "nightmare cult" Chtulhu logo. =] Would you mind joining our discord (https://discord.gg/beEyuHxRSs) or IRC (#hister on IRCNet) to discuss the details?

So here we go again
Some bright-eyed young coder bro is back indexing every post that shows up in his Home feed:
"When your Mastodon Home feed loads new toots, the extension detects that the page content has changed and re-indexes the tab. This means every toot that appears in your browser gets added to your local index automatically."
What if I don't want to be "found" simply because I use a generic hashtag our bright-eyed young coder bro is indexing on a page that uses that hashtag, who I don't Foilow, and who I would otherwise be unknown to?
Famous last story, again
How do I #OptOut
Who do I #Block?
Y'all never seem to understand that not everyone --> wants <-- to be found by some complete stranger
Or do I need to go on #Github and open an Issue?

For the #selfhosted / #homelab people running #Hister (https://github.com/asciimoo/hister): you should update to version v0.4.0 ASAP. I reported a vulnerability in the previous version that allows any website to download your entire database due to missing CORS enforcement. The author responded very quickly to the disclosure and had a new release ready within a few hours, excellent work on his part.
Sadly, Hister is currently not packaged and does not auto-update, so people will have to manually download a new release, or be vulnerable.
CC @shollyethan, since he included it as a spotlight in this week's newsletter.
