Just wrapped recording on a super fun ATProto focused podcast with the @limeleaf.coop folks -- @jluther.net @blainsmith.com @mubashariqbal.com were on call, who make @blueskydirectory.com and are also a worker owned tech co-op.

okay and as promised, the bluesky PDS is officially open for returning users to migrate their accounts back! hoping this lowers the stakes & gives folks the confidence to explore some other PDSs in the network! docs.bsky.app/blog/incomin...

In this week's issue of our newsletter—exciting #Bluesky governance and #atproto standardization developments. newsletter.blueskydirectory.com/posts/bluesk...

excited to share that we are following through on our earlier commitments and putting together an independent+neutral organization to house the DID PLC system, includes the directory service

Been doing a lot more reading over the past few months (fiction books mostly). Started with some Michael Connelly (really enjoyed watching Bosch on TV), but loving the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. Any series you're really into? #books #booksky

🥳 #Bookmarks have arrived! 🎉

🍿 Not saying I like going to the movies but …. Thanks Regal 😊

Ordering things from overseas and suddenly this delivery update send shivers down my shine 😩 #tariffs

⚽️ Can't believe we're already back for another season of Football. Like last year not expecting Liverpool to win it all. Last year we had a new manager, this year we have a lot of new players, that will take time to settle in. Expecting Arsenal, Man City & Chelsea to make a big push this year.

Our own @jluther.net will be at this event next Wednesday in NYC. DM us if you'd like to connect in person! #ProtocolsForPublishers

💙 Welcome new visitors. Let us know how you found us!

A first for me, but a website I'm building (pre-launch) is getting traffic from Google before it's pages have been indexed?!? 🤯 But how? #seo #sideproject

After the Chrome changes finally killed uBlock Origin have switched to using uBlock Origin Lite for my "privacy". Not seeing a lot of difference so far. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ubloc...

If we had universal healthcare I’d feel so much better about starting/running my own business. Constantly worried about my family being without coverage. Would much rather use that brain space worrying about my business. Biggest single expense 😩

After over 20 years running a Mac for my main development machine, it's time to move to Linux. MacOS hasn't been a priority for Apple for while, and Linux looks a better option than Windows. Getting a desktop to play with a couple different distros (Ubuntu & Arch), before replacing my laptop.

Played a little League of Legends today. First time I've been in a game where everyone on the team got an S or S+ rating 🤯

Going to the movies early this week…excited to watch the new Superman!

Was conflicted by Jurassic World Rebirth. If I hadn't see any of the Park/World movies I would have thought it was a great movie. Unfortunately I have seen all the movies leading up to this and was kinda disappointing watching the same movie I've seen before, many times.

The weeks movie is Jurassic World Rebirth! Big fan of the Jurassic Park movies, so excited for this one.

Nothing like a power outage to celebrate the holiday! Going to without power for 3 hours 🥲

Just joined the @tailwindcss.com Insiders Program. Excited to support the future of Tailwind! Feels like @bsky.app could take some pointers 😉 tailwindcss.com/sponsor#insi...

🚀 We received a personal note today from someone who got a #job interview (software engineer) after responding to a listing on #applycoop! 🚀 We don't do AI, ads, tracking, or algorithms — just great #jobs for good people posted by actual humans. #hiring

Trying to make time for movies on the weekends. 🏎️ This week going to see F1.

Started work on the scheduler for the social media I've always wanted, building primarily for Bluesky! 😀 Should I #buildinpublic?

I remember the time that off shoring was going to take all the development jobs in the country. I remember the time that no-code tools where going to replace most of the development jobs in the country. I remember the time that AI was going to take all the development jobs in the country. 🤷‍♂️

🚨 Looking for a React Frontend Dev! 🚨 I’m in need of a frontend developer. Bonus if you're already familiar with the Bluesky API or interested in working with it. If you’re interested (or know someone who might be), feel free to reach out or repost. Thanks! 🙏

Excited to see Mumford and Sons tonight! Gigi Perez opening in a few minutes…

🤯 Liverpool spending over £100M for a player! Which ever version of the multiverse I've moved too, I like it. www.liverpoolfc.com/news/liverpo... #liverpool #lfc

OAuth updates for app devs! Over the past few weeks we've been chatting with devs and doing a pass over our SDKs and docs to address issues. This blog post summarizes the main changes we've made, some tweaks still in flight, and links to longer form writing about security and design trade-offs

Daughter has her driving test this afternoon 😬 🤞

Our four member-owners gathered on Saturday for our semiannual strategy meeting. Lots of cool stuff in store for @blueskydirectory.com and our other products in the second half of 2025! And of course we forgot to take a photo. 🤦 #coops #bluesky #atproto

Time for the final reckoning!

🙌

I would appreciate some votes for apply.coop to get more eyeballs on the site. Also boost this so more folks find out about it. - news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4404... - lobste.rs/s/dmx9e3/app... - www.reddit.com/r/cooperativ... #applycoop #HN #HackerNews #Lobsters #Reddit

Made it to the beach. Day started cloudy, but turning out to be a very nice day! #photograph #beach #capecod

In Cape Cod for a wedding this weekend. Excited to unplug, and touch sand.

@blueskydirectory.com is now running on totally new hardware. I managed to migrate everything over this weekend. I had anticipated this would require a couple of hours with the servers offline, but in the end was able to maneuver things around without having to take anything offline.

Migrating a largeish database with minimal downtime is art not science 😂 Planning and the right setup is key, will doing one tomorrow. Let’s see how it goes. 🤞

Generally speaking I support English teams in the Champions League. However after Arteta's comments yesterday, I hope PSG blow Arsenal away today. 🤞

About to watch Clue at Proctor’s theatre in Schenectady NY.

The Dark Night

Laracon TV by @mubashariqbal.com is a collection of all talks from every Laracon since 2013 📺️✨ - madewithlaravel.com/laracon-tv

Great chatting with John, Blain & Erik and a reminder that I still have a lot to learn about ATProto and Bluesky 😉
