Here is one of the first messages I wrote from my own PDS that actually found its way through the actual relays! A lot of things aren't working (like setting profile pictures, blobs and replying to threads), but I'm happy how far I've got using gemini 3 to produce a conformant PDS implementation!

hello world!!

Sounds like a great idea!!! Signal boost!!

@thisismissem.social @bnewbold.net @danabra.mov I spent a good amount of time trying to put together a personal PDS ... I managed to "login with my PDS to the bsky.app" and "create posts", but I'm really struggling to make my PDS crawled by the relay ... Any chance you have some tooling to help?

Hey @pds.sgo.to any chance you are there?

The @atproto implementation of the PDS assumes that there are many users per instance, and I think that creates all sorts of complications to run it on Vercel and Turso (for example, you need one sqlite database per user?). Is there a single-user PDS library somewhere that I could use?

It costs US$ 129 / month to use Gemini 3 in gemini-cli for consumers??!!

Today, I spent some time trying to run my own PDS on Vercel ... I got pretty far, but got stuck trying to set up my S3 blobstore ... Maybe some other day, when my non-corp gemini-cli token credit allows me to use bigger models ...

Starting to look good! github.com/fedidcg/logi... <login oncomplete="login()"> <credential type="federated" clientId="1234" configURL="https://idp1.example/config"> <a onclick="navigator.credentials.get({identity: ...})"> Sign-in with IdP</a> </credential> </login>

Prediction: in the future, LLMs are going to hallucinate less often / badly than humans do.

Users first, developers second, browser engines third, technical purity last. Not sure what's most surprising: that it had to be written down or that it has to be quoted often.

The root of all evil in technology is hype-oriented development. Under sell and over deliver.

The Chrome Identity and Payments team in Waterloo Canada is hiring several early/mid-career developers. I'm on the lookout for exceptional candidates with a passion for browsers and/or the identity/payments space! www.linkedin.com/posts/rick-b...

Who wants a built-in browser native <login> and <federation> HTML element? Here is one proposal on how to go about it!! github.com/fedidcg/fede...

@sphericalcowconsulting.com just today I was browsing hackernews and clicked on a substack link and was surprised to see substack as a FedCM IdP :) Kind of cool that they managed to put that together without ever reaching out to us!

TIL that we are still making progress on the `sudo` command line tool :) www.sudo.ws/releases/dev...

if you're interested in #atproto getting a better sign-in flow in browsers, please give this a thumbs up. #FedCM also if u know more about how this would benefit you, leave a comment following their template! github.com/web-platform...

So a not too well known thing about me: I'm the co-author of the Client ID Metadata Documents internet draft that Bluesky / AT Proto uses for OAuth. This document came about due to my work on Mastodon's OAuth implementation. If you'd like to support my work: support.thisismissem.social

This seems pretty interesting! Anyone going? fediforum.org/2026-03-grow...

We intend to make agentic login better for users!

Sweet! @thisismissem.social @aaronpk.com @bnewbold.net @danabra.mov fyi

Thank you 101domain.com for allowing social login! Much much easier!

Bluesky and the AT Protocol needs FedCM support badly. It's just not fun to type in a URL every time I want to sign in to another ATmosphere site.

This was a love of fun to participate!

This is super exciting!

We have indeed :)

Excited to talk FedCM next week in a @fusionauth.io webinar with one of the project leaders, Sam Goto! We'll cover what this proposed standard is, why it exists, see a demo, and more. More details here: fusionauth.io/webinar/fedc...

"Evan: What would be helpful for this community to do, to influence further work and adoption of IdP Registration?" The answer that I think is most constructive is: ship code. IdP Registration is available in chrome behind a flag and can already be used by real websites.

did i manage to get my @sgo.to handle back? lets see!

Has anyone figured out how to run a PDS with heroku?

I messed up running my own PDS, so I think I lost control of this account here with my @sgo.to handle ... I'm going to use bluesky's proprietary PDS in the meantime until I figure out how to set up my own.

Didn't quite work and now I have an invalid handle :) And ... i'm a bit too lazy to fix it up ...

Can I still post?

I'm setting up my own PDS, and moving my @sgo.to handle to a new did :) Wish me luck :) There is a chance I'll never see any of you ever again with my old did that is in the bluesky PDS :) Goodbye and thanks for all the fish!!!

Oh, only now I realize that @bnewbold.net is the person that was giving the tech talk I was watching to :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9AV... Good stuff @bnewbold.net: I'm still learning about DID PLC, but I like where your heart is at!

I'm super excited about this one!

We could really use your help here, if you operate an RP.

Back in June I wrote about an exciting confluence of digital auth tech: (1) The commodification of #OIDC infrastructure, (2) the emergence of #FedCM, (3) and the compatibility of both with #IndieAuth. Bluesky could set the bar here. blog.erlend.sh/indie-social... #opensource #indieweb #identity

Still trying to understand how PDSes work and how it relates to my DID ... ... I have @sgo.to pointing to a DID, which presumably is associated with a private key, which I'm guessing was created by the bluesky PDs? Did I get that right? If so, where is that private key and how can I export it?

Hello world! I posted this via the API.

ActivtyPub is like email, AtProto is like the web. Took me a while to get it, but I think I do now.

How is it going?

I'm really excited to find ways to help blue sky as a browser engineer! Any other ideas on how a browser might help this community succeed? github.com/bluesky-soci...

Mainly what you want is FedCM signin with Bluesky: github.com/bluesky-soci... @bnewbold.net has been giving it some thought already.

FedCM for IndieAuth: https://jacky.wtf/2024/5/Va4B

Just finished a #FedCM 101 session at the OAuth Security Workshop with Sam Goto. So many great discussions and questions! Slides available at tcslides.link/OSW24-FedCM101 #osw #oauthsecurityworkshop

This weekend I built a prototype of using FedCM for IndieAuth! This gets rid of the need to enter your domain when logging in to websites using IndieAuth! Demo video and notes here: aaronparecki.com/2024/05/12/3...

I just kicked off a devtrial for a pretty exciting extension to FedCM that we've been working on for a long time! github.com/w3c-fedid/Fe... Give this a try and let me know what you think!

This is super exciting! I can't wait to see if we can connect FedCM to the at protocol and the fediverse!! I'm @sgo.to at Blue sky and would love to find ways to connect it with FedCM!!

Any chance i know anyone that is working on this? github.com/bluesky-soci...
