πŸ“£ Browser extension for parents is now available on pysec.online !

The extension sends you a text message if a predator online tries to coerce your kid into inappropriate activities. Grooming attacks are as normal as the air you breathe.

Supported browsers: Google Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge, Opera.

Free version monitors Discord only. Paid version will monitor all mainstream social media.

Mobile app version will come later.

@uniq Browser extension will be for the web. Solution for mobile apps will come later.

Kids are smart. Absolutely agree. But the number of kids who are willing to meet complete stranger on a street is still pretty high. I've seen videos where kids (without the knowledge of parents) went to meet a stranger. Some will even expose themselves online.

🚨 Millions of grooming attacks on kids are occurring online every day. Worldwide.

I’ll be soon releasing browser extension that will alert parents if someone tries to coerce your kid into something dodgy via social media.

It will be for grabs. The website won’t be charging you.

I wanted to save my barely passable Python scripting from total extinction and write something quick/useful. So what had happened was...

Instead of writing a quick script I decided to learn a bit of FastHTML to create a web app to generate systemd service files for Podman, so a total yak-shave (I used podman generate last week but wanted "cleaner" files).

FastHTML is a really neat approach to "templating" HTML and seems to scale nicely with your needs, which means it's easy to get started. The fact that Pico.css and sqlite are built-in is really nice for out-of-box experience (can be disabled and extended). I'll keep working on my toy app and maybe actually make it useful (I'm posting publicly for accountability, I hope).

#Python #FastHTML #WebApp #YakShaving

Single webpage titled "Systemd config generator for Podman" with form fields "App Name", "Port number mapping", and "Volume name" with a "Generate .service file" button. The table underneath shows the same fields as above plus a Delete column with the example data being Caddy with ports 80, 443, and volumes being ./data and ./site

Serving apps or online services to kids and handling their data ? Then you need to know about COPPA & GDPR-K regulations and stay compliant.

In my latest video I go over what you need to know to stay compliant.

Are you making web apps for kids ? Are you in Edtech ? pysec.online checks security of your app's headers for free.

Security is no joke. And if you're making apps for kids you need to make sure they can use the app safely without being hijacked or exploited online.

It's a legal obligation. Give it a go ... πŸ™‚

I'm happy to announce that 32 out of 40 reported accounts spreading explicit content of minors on #mastodon have been suspended. If we're lucky they will end up being arrested too. πŸš”

I've just ran Python code that confirms it.

Thank you admins for helping making Mastodon better / safer. πŸ‘Š :mastodon:

Warning To All #Parents ! 🚨

Parents, as I've been working on my latest project. The CSAM reporting bot on #mastodon. I've noticed number of (visibly) underage girls who take nude pictures of themselves or video in front of a mirror and posting it on Mastodon. Some of them straight from their bedroom. You can actually see a mess and bed that hasn't been done yet. It is almost as if they get up in the morning and even before they brush the teeth, they take a nude selfie and upload it.

I beg you, parents, please educate your girls on the dangers of doing so ! 🚨
Your teenage girl may not do such thing, have a chat with them anyway. It won't hurt.

Girls who expose themselves like this are often contacted by online predators who will try to coerce them into trafficking.

I'll keep on working on this project as I want to help make the platform safer for young people. All sexually explicit content of minors has been reported and admins will take down and suspend accounts in due course.
