Yesterday, Estonia disconnected from the Russian power grid, along with Latvia and Lithuania. Today, they are connecting to the European grid. It is amazing that this was a mechanical process.

Running a #bsky labeler is not an easy job. But it is cool since you know you are helping people create a better social media environment. I think the most valuable thing is the decentralization, because people voluntarily choose who will help them clean their timelines.

Learning how to draw on my smartphone through youtube tutoriais ! Sunday lesson: Watercolor Progressing... #watercolor #painting #digital

Nice one @nordvpnofficial.bsky.social nordvpn.com/blog/nordwhi...

I just stumbled across a series of github issues about very weird following bugs perhaps the clearest example is given by @eddieoz.com go to his profile and it shows him following 24,000 people then look in his repo and it shows only 2 follow records: pdsls.dev/at/did:plc:f...

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617: Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel. Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

Starting a new hobby: learning to draw. My goal is to complete the tutorials on YouTube and draw on my mobile phone. I'm using Infinite Painter. Any tips for a beginner? #draw #painting #digital #art

Yesterday was the last night of the Christmas tree. I took a picture of the pretty Tallinn Old Town before it was taken down. #photography #photosky #tallinn #Estonia #night #christmas #tree #lights

The New Year's Eve in #Estonia was crazy. No fireworks like in the past, but the stage and the concert were awesome! Happy 2025 to everyone!

Head uut aastat! 🎉🎊 Happy new year!

Just in case: if my profile seems weird, it is because I'm testing some vuln on my pds. Already reported some and I'm finishing some tests to send a new report soon.

Hey @support.bsky.team, what's the best channel to report bugs and vuln?

🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🤦

⚠️ It is interesting that Grok can provide information about what happens in their direct messages. What about the promised #e2ee and #privacy for your DMs? Who is wrong here? #cryptography #cybersecurity #security

As I saw in the other network, on a post by @session-app.bsky.social: Privacy is a human right. Not a setting. Not a permission. Not a privilege. You have the right to not be tracked—period. www.wired.com/story/ftc-mo...

this is a nice discussion about moderation/labellers

@aendra.com hey, if you have knowledge of any good blocklists (or someone working on them) for crypto spam/scam, pls share with me :)

I see people pronouncing jiff and sequel. What's wrong with you guys? Don't do that pls. #dev #devsky

While on one hand I think it's great that NSO lost a lawsuit for #spying on #WhatsApp users with its #Pegasus #spyware, It is hard to me to understand **why WhatsApp would keep users' system structure data and sensitive file location information on its servers**. 🤔 #privacy #privacysky #security

Very important step of Bluesky!

I was reading about the latest news on EU surveillance plans and prepared a blog post and a podcast about it. whtwnd.com/eddieoz.com/... #privacy #surveillance #privacysky #security

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.

Twitter co-founder Ev Williams launched Mozi, a social app focusing on real-world connections. It helps organize spontaneous meetups, coordinate plans, and foster meaningful interactions while prioritizing user privacy and reviving the original purpose of social networking.

It is more about reach than speech. #bsky #moderation #security #privacy #privacysky whtwnd.com/eddieoz.com/...

I was playing around with @itaru2622.bsky.social's #sky #selfhost implementation and I published something that could be helpful: github.com/eddieoz/bsky...

People don't want biased moderation. But instead of choosing lists, blocking, running their own PDS or Ozone, they want an institution to do everything for them and then complain. 🤷‍♀️ I don't get it. What did I miss?

Decentralized moderation is actually a great justification for Bluesky to set harsher, even "biased", moderation policies on their own infrastructure but you all are NOT ready for that conversation

With tools like block lists, curated feeds, and open content labeling, #bsky regulates reach—not speech. 🚀 25M+ users and growing. Is this the future of moderation? medium.com/@eddieoz/blu... #BlueSky #Decentralized #Moderation #SocialMedia #FreedomOfExpression

I'm running a mirror of plc.directory here: plc-mirror.bsky.leobalduf.com. No ratelimits (for now), no SLA, and only supports DID lookups (no exports, audit logs, etc). This uses github.com/bsky-watch/p..., which works by collecting and replaying PLC operations. 33 GB Postgres database, pretty nice.

For anyone interested in Bluesky moderation, they recently open-source their moderation engine, Ozone: github.com/bluesky-soci... anyone can host their own moderation service with custom filters. This'll be an interesting project to try. I'd love to filter out burner accounts and reply-only ones.

“We are afraid of getting scrutiny and threats from ultra conservative groups who are blatantly violating our TOS” Have a backbone. I’m begging you.

Maybe they should split in two entities? One to continue to develop the AT Protocol and another to manage the platform Bluesky. It would be more or less their original idea, Bluesky was created as a separate entity to develop atproto which was meant to be a base for an open evolution of Twitter.

I don't get people complaining about the self-verification on #bsky. If you are a credible source with a good reputation, you can always link your personal domain to your account.

Don't mix your personal and professional digital life. In case of a trial, you can have a huge exposure of everything. "This, BTW, is why I try to keep people from mixing work and personal data. Lawyers will 💯 grab your personal info and pull it out in trial." 👇
