We know developing OAuth clients locally has been harder than it could be, partly because `localhost` isn't allowed as a `redirect_uri`. Please chime in on this discussion if you have any concerns about relaxing that particular rule.

do it. The Puyallup. just do It.

I made a website that lets you cut out old magazines from the internet archive (or any PDFs you own) and make collage art out of them: ✂️ clipart.studio

PDS Operator it's a self hosted dashboard for your PDS. watches labelers and dms you when an account gets flagged. accounts, takedowns, pwd resets, invites, relay status, passkey sign-in, audit log, setup wizard with a qr code. deploy in minutes. tangled.org/brookie.blog...

scintillating sabbatical adventures have included: - flossing every day - sleeping 8-9 hours a night - eating lots of cucumbers - no social media on my phone - reading thousands of pages about LBJ - attacking rat burrows in side yard

reminder that the inaugural ATP (atproto) working group meeting will be taking place soon! we are scheduled for the Thursday of #IETF126. you can register and participate remotely. if you have a topic you want to discuss, reply to the chairs on the mailing list; this is roughly final call

What happened to the fight for the Internet? dustycloud.org/blog/what-ha... As the internet has become centralized, it's felt less like ours. But it can be ours, if we fight for it. And the fight has never been more critical or dire.

I'm surprised how much I liked the "28 Years Later" films so far. pretty violent, but I love Ralph Fiennes' character. I felt over-saturated on the zombie/post-apocalypse genre many years ago, but both this as the "Station Eleven" miniseries have given a lot to think about

networksofny2026.bigcartel.com/product/netw... hi, did you like my book Networks of New York when it came out in 2016? you might like the updated 2026 edition which I'll be releasing in September and you can pre-order now

Blacksky is building ~the intercommunal net~ where communities create virtual spaces collectively managed by their members -- from moderation policies to recommender algorithms. We're hiring a Founding Engineer (Rust) @ $180K base who will report directly to me and lead our atproto implementation.

i'm starting a diary on atmospheric login as a way to explore the topic in some depth. our login experience is how everyday folks will form their understanding of what the atmosphere even is—and the design space is super rich. the web may also have some tricks up its sleeve for us...

WELCOME TO WASHINGTON, SOCCER FANS. Get acquainted with our state via this highly accurate and mostly-to-scale map.

We just released the first stable version of iroh, v1.0! Read about it: www.iroh.computer/blog/v1 We're super proud of where we landed with iroh's 1.0. Since version 0.35 it feels like we've entirely replaced the "engine underneath". Are you a fellow key-dialer? Come tell us how you use iroh!

The Copyright Office already has huge influence in copyright policy, and it hasn’t been moving it in the right direction. So Why did Congress just vote to give it more power? www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Proud to finally share what I've been working on. I'm excited for a future where privacy is normal. encryptedspaces.org

this is super exciting to see!

💭 Oblivious HTTP is interesting! the stated use cases are anonymous/stateless, and in atproto this could help with client privacy for identity lookups (eg, PLC resolution) but seems like it could also help with pseudonymity? eg PLC op submissions. and even PDS proxying (!)

💭 XRPC API errors could have been an lexicon def type referenced by NSID ref. API schemas would enumerate "expected" errors, but undeclared errors could still be handled in a typed way.

I'm headed to NYC for a few days! roaming around with friends. hit me up if you want to hang, good events, or new things worth checking out (I haven't spent much time there since 2016)

This is massive for the future of un-enshittified Social Media in Europe. Atmosphere ❤️ Fediverse ❤️ Matrix

the best tokens of my generation are spent thinking about how to, etc, etc

@dholms.at and I pushed up IETF draft text for atproto repos and sync: www.ietf.org/archive/id/d... www.ietf.org/archive/id/d... these are versioned in github (per norm) over here: github.com/ietf-wg-atp/...

In about 1 hour 🫵 can watch the premiere of the atproto web dev challenge on @codetv.dev. Watch @brittanyellich.com @bryn.codes @dame.is @awarm.space @jimray.bsky.team @zeu.dev and me build out some personal websites with atproto. I'll be in the chat watching it for the first time with y'all

on this, the final day of Shame,

a little atproto bulk import hack: PDS instances have record operation rate-limits (for good reasons!) which can make bulk import of thousands of records all at one tricky. eg, "import your old insta posts".

marque.at is a slick DNS registrar with atproto integrations built in. I've registered a few domains there and endorse it!

Catholic theology in a protocol blog, why not Pope Leo XIV published a new encyclical this week, and it contains surprisingly sharp observations on how to build the open social web https://connectedplaces.online/reports/fr164-the-pope-on-defederation/

We are offering a number of Diversity Travel Grants to support early-career academics and PhD students to attend the IRTF meetings co-located with the IETF-127 Meeting in San Francisco in November 2027. More details at www.irtf.org/travelgrants/ Application deadline: July 03, 2026

@sgo.to this PDS implementation checker might be helpful for your personal implementation: check.cirrus.earth I'm not sure about the OAuth JWKs warning, but basically everything else seems fine/expected

Cyd for Bluesky is here! I’ve been working on this for months, and also using it on my own account for months. Here are my settings

from home, on my daily debian laptop, I can't browse most of costco.com or asics.com without getting Akamai (errors.edgesuite.net) Access Denied errors. not doing weird bulk dev requests these days, and works fine from apple laptops or android phones. I assume this is anti-bot stuff?

wunderbar!
