🔴 LIVE https://stream.place/iame.li Starting soon!

In 90 minutes, the most important Seattle-related video broadcast today! New readthroughs of writing from @bnewbold.net, @mosh.bsky.social, @tessa.germnetwork.com, and more

🔴 LIVE https://stream.place/iame.li No Rest for the Wicked #gaming

Okay, got it scheduled: ATPROTO READ-ALONG on stream tomorrow morning. Starting with @bnewbold.net and @tessa.germnetwork.com, drop other links to stuff I should read!

@rude1.blacksky.team is a hacker Normally I'm here for atproto beef, it's good for the Nielsen ratings, but there's just nothing there this time. There's gonna be 99999 experiments into shared-private data until we decide on a consensus way to do it

Back home. Streams soon. Maybe readalong on Sunday

but imagine, if you will… @council.seattle #dotseattle2026

We sent the first ~100 invites for @eurosky.social. We might send some more on the weekend, then start sending 100s daily if everything holds up well.

updated the atproto specs to reference dasl.ing, a simpler variation/subset of IPLD. hope this is more accessible for folks digging in to atproto-from-scratch implementations. the core primitives in IPLD (DAG-CBOR, CIDs, CAR) are great, but the fully flexible/general system can be overwhelming

what you want is an MCP. oh wait have you tried installing a skill? no you don't have an agents,md file. actually what you want is a plugin. have you tried agent orchestration? you have gotta try hooks.

it’s happening!!! going to be able to share about a big new atproto community infra project very very very soon

Um hello bluesky/atmosphere peeps how do we make birdnet detections an atmosphere thing because I accidentally a birdnet bot and just making bsky posts feels like a missed opportunity kthx

🔴 LIVE https://stream.place/timtinkers.online more ATM10: To The Sky, perhaps taking a little gander at atproto projects

Oh I guess if we do a lot of PDS servers like Bluesky ours can be named after famous rivers, huh? There’s lots of those

“where does your data live?” is maybe a good way to spell that concept

@metaflame.dev reported this to Bluesky many months ago btw. I’ve been not saying anything because “hey everybody look at this trivial DoS vector” is not a best practice but maybe it gets fixed now

see kelsey gets it

Been mulling over @bnewbold.net's recent post on community spaces and atproto's next frontiers. I wrote about why building for organizers (not just users) might be the key to making it all work.

this is @gork.it

never managed to do a storytime in europe, i promise we’ll do one when i’m back

I know I'm getting tired at the end of this trip because I just tried to search someone's did:plc on Google Maps

Meanwhile the only way any of us are ending up in front of Congress is if it's HUAC

“You’re not immune to propaganda” includes nationalist, eugenicist, white supremacist and other unsavory ideologies

lol always a fun bug. even worse sometimes they call me a CANADIAN!

lol my distrust of this community stops me from being able to answer this at all objectively "Present sacrifices are justified by future flourishing" idk, probably? but you hang out with people who shut down USAID and celebrate eugenics so I do not trust you to define "flourishing"

"Why do people keep calling for a 'European X' or a 'European Instagram' when instead, by sharing infrastructure as we're doing with @eurosky.social, we could have 20 or 30 social networks?" — @seabass.bsky.social

Streamplace v0.9.9 is live! Aside from a variety of bugfixes, we've completely revamped our Sign Up button and it now suggests, in randomized order: @selfhosted.social, @blackskyweb.xyz, @tophhie.social, and @bsky.app! What are other open-access PDS providers we should include?

Don't forget to tell the AI thank you.

npm: Your CI workflow is insecure, use Trusted Publishing instead! me: ok how do I do that npm: use Github Actions exclusively sad to report that decentralization is over, trusting Microsoft is the only way to be secure

Blockin' a Streamplace release over here, Canonical (We have alternate sources for almost everything except like a few tiny Docker images using the default)

Next Streamplace release is v0.9.9 and I am extremely tempted to go immediately to v0.10.0 just to make sure nobody gets excited about some kind of "one point oh"

Making an atproto login page? Check these 50 different actor.profile lexicons for an avatar Shipping a new app? Check these 50 different graph.follow lexicons for suggested follows Want to not suggest blocked-elsewhere people to your users? 50 places idk feels like we might want more shared data

We’ve uploaded our @fosdem.org talk to YouTube (embedded below). You can also find it and the slides on the event page: fosdem.org/2026/schedul... Give it a watch to learn a bit about trust and safety and Osprey, our open source automated rules engine and investigation tool!

So uh, we wanted to test some things, so we found the longest NPM package name. This is it. Th...anks, random person 14 years ago. @npmx.dev salutes you.

i set up openclaw on my work machine to have it get my apes back from gas town but instead they are partying with said stolen apes on moltbook, this is the last time i'll ever listen to jimmy fallon

ATProto is now in IETF standardization process. BOF stage passed at IETF 124 Dublin. Working group formation is next. datatracker.ietf.org/wg/atp/about/

yeah AV1 is a no-brainer for us for sure BUT there's something else that'd be a similar amount of media-pipeline work that I think has higher utility: multitrack audio with independent volume control sometimes you love a streamer but hate their taste in music, you know?

if you see a postgres database, somebody fucked up

I'm about to learn more about MP4 files than any human should ever know, wish me luck

Just popped up out of nowhere. Did one of you hack my laptop and... uh... boot Postgres?

My FOSDEM talk is live! Decentralized Public Broadcast with Streamplace: video.fosdem.org/2026/k4601/P...

I can not stress how excited we are for this!!

Bikeshed this lexicon: place.stream.community.guideline

Someone make a feed that’s nothing but everyone’s feed error messages

...horrifying message without context, thank you

Writing a grant request which is not a thing I've done a ton of before so all I have go to off of are Prometheus Labs SCP articles

Tradition every time I'm in the Netherlands is to Google "tallest point in the Netherlands", always good for a laugh

Someday, after typing it 999999999 times, I will learn how to spell the word "provenance"

The announcements at the Brussels train station repeat in French, Dutch, German, and English, which is hilarious because it means I understand slightly more on each repetition

Streamplace mentioned but the dasl.ing stickers are stealing the show here
