    I do want to encourage more BSky use, but a lot of imp OSINT accounts are still on X. Maybe can we have XCancel integration?

    Also to better communicate urgency, a scrolling RSS feed news ticker might slap.

    I can see myself chaining monitors together and having this in my spare bedroom, in the eventuality that I end up in a house with a spare bedroom

      I adopted BSky over X's ridiculous rate limits and price... BSky was completely free. Never seen XCancel before but that looks integratable

      RSS is on my list next

        Also, I genuinely look forward to setting up a situation monitor when I shift to a bigger place. I've seen the memes about "monitoring the situation with the lads" and always thought it would actually be quite fun.

        Thanks for making this project!

      Encourage Mastodon use. There’s nothing that stops Bluesky from ending up just like Twitter.

        I think the protocol is actually pretty open, and can be hooked into without them. I may be wrong though, I read into how it worked years ago.

          In theory it is, but as of now you can't actually use any provider other than bluesky

        All the federated structure in the world doesn't matter if you don't have users. I think we're better off encouraging bluesky to finish what they're building, mastodon won't ever get there.

    Interesting.. Minor point: it would be good to know what each of the default panels is? not entirely clear to me?

    Intrigued by spiderfoot, but seeing that the last release - from that repo anyway - was in 2022, I assume the action has moved elsewhere, given that this is a very quickly changing field - anyone know?

    Both of these make me realise how out of date my copy of Bazzell's OSINT Techniques is..

    OSINT = open source intelligence

    Had to look it up and might not the only one

    SpiderFoot seems a lot more usable for real OSINT work to me.

    (Where's the US involvement when there are actual people being killed by hundreds and thousands when they fight for their liberty?..)

    • poulpy123 a day ago

      The US have been actively undermining and attacking Iran for several decades now. Since the dictator they put in power got overthrown actually. You can say it's a good thing or a bad thing, but you cannot say they do nothing

      Libya worked out so well.

      • nine_k 2 days ago

        The intensity of protests and the general experience of the population with living in a saner society were much weaker in Libya, if memory serves.
