Developer Builds Custom AI Assistant in Obsidian After Abandoning OpenClaw and Gas City

0
·1 views

A developer describes replacing OpenClaw, which repeatedly broke after updates, with a self-built assistant made of a bash dispatcher, cron jobs, and Python inside an Obsidian vault. The setup runs a Telegram-linked news digest, an Airtable tracker for media, games, and drinks, and a weekly Dependabot triage job. A self-repair job called Health Fix automatically detects failures and opens pull requests, which the developer reviews and merges. The author also reports that Gas City repeatedly stalled on tasks, and they stopped using it after many failed attempts.

Solo Swiss developer unveils EDNA, a device-local system to verify human users without biometrics

An independent developer based in Bern, Switzerland, has built OpenOS EDNA, a system aimed at distinguishing humans from bots online. The tool analyzes subtle behavioral patterns such as mouse timing, scroll rhythm, and touchpad pressure directly on the user's device. Only a verification result leaves the device, so no camera scans, ID uploads, or cloud-stored biometric data are needed. The system also offers a passwordless login tied to a cryptographic identity chain, and the developer has published a public verification test suite for independent checking. The creator describes the project as an independent effort with no investors or corporate backing.

Kisumu Market Day brings creators and makers together at Baraza Media Lab

A developer who usually writes about code and Bitcoin Lightning wallet work from Kisumu, Kenya, stepped away from the keyboard to attend Kisumu Market Day. The two-day event at Baraza Media Lab gathers the city's creators, makers and storytellers, and it opened with a photo exhibition about Lake Victoria. The author went because the people building things locally are the ones their tools are meant to serve, and in-person conversations reveal needs more clearly than an issue tracker. The second day is set for Saturday, 14 November, from 8:30am to 7pm at Lake Basin Mall. The author noted the post is not sponsored.

Fake CRA Calls and Texts Target Canadians With Arrest Threats and Refund Lures

Scammers posing as Canada Revenue Agency officers are phoning and texting Canadians with threats of arrest or fake refund offers. Callers claim a warrant has been issued over unpaid taxes and demand immediate payment, often through gift cards, cryptocurrency, or e-transfers. Texts promising unclaimed refunds direct recipients to counterfeit government login pages designed to harvest personal and banking details. The Canada Revenue Agency does not demand payment this way or threaten police action. Authorities advise hanging up, checking accounts directly through canada.ca, and reporting the attempt to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
