Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities and 100 times more fun.

"Malcolm Bradbury claimed that with Empire of the Sun ‘Ballard became an important mainstream novelist,’ and went on to compare him to Ian McEwan and Iain Banks – intending that as praise." www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

what a day! after sitting on a domain for #othernetworks since about 2017, today we are officially launching a (modest...) website to collect all Other Networks related events, workshops, recipes for building your own networks (BYON!), and even an asynchronous book club! othernetworks.net

PDSv2 architecture involves splitting up the current 3-tier PDS architecture (load balancer -> app servers -> Postgres) into a number of standalone servers that we've called "PDS in a box" PDSv2 servers will be beefy bare metal machines running haproxy + multiple instances Node w/100k+ SQLite DBs.

The first camera with built-in C2PA shipped, Leica M11-P. I think C2PA is super interesting, but hard to explain to non-geeks, so I wrote an overly-long blog that explains why I think it’s technically sound and socially useful: www.tbray.org/ongoing/When...

J G Ballard's non-fiction is an insight into the depth and breadth of his ideas. Editor Mark Blacklock suggests my concordances are invaluable research resources, they are free to use here: Ballard's books: bonsall-books.co.uk/concordance Ballard's interviews: bonsall-books.co.uk/interviewsconc

Probably the best non-fiction book if you want to understand more about Ballard.

JG Ballard’s first published novel.

The vibe on Twitter vs. BlueSky

Giorgio Lolli, aka "Monsieur Lolli", has passed away. A true radio hacker from Bologna (Italy), in his life founded more than 500 radio stations throughout Africa, from Togo to Mali, from Senegal to Burkina Faso, and then Benin and Eritrea.

beautiful and disturbing.

Ugh, why do I do this? Started implementing a user friendly Go client API for Bluesky. For now it has the bare minimum boilerplate in place: user authentication with under-the-hood JWT refreshes and capability to do custom atproto calls for unimplemented stuff (i.e. everything 😅). #golang #bluesky

Here is the approach to composable, community-controlled moderation that we think will create a positive open, public social network: https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/4-13-2023-moderation It will take work to build this out. Perhaps the AT Protocol dev ecosystem can help bring this to life!

The APIs over public data that Bluesky gives you is pretty incredible, actually. I can't wait to see what people build.
