great thread of our IETF BoF session today huge thanks to everyone that participated in person & remote for more info on what a "BoF" is & what are plans at the IETF are check out: docs.bsky.app/blog/taking-...

there was a 9-min disruption to constellation, ufos-api, and spacedust this morning due to a datacentre (fig's house) power flicker. by 8:30am EDT, auto-recovery worked for all services, which fully recovered on their own.

AppViewLite changelog: - Hide this reply - Reduced memory consumption / GC - Set language when posting - Fixed muting of Reddit users - Fixed ARM support - Profiler: show network requests - Fix occasional crashes when scrolling Following - Preserve page location when switching profiles

A reminder that @chadkoh.com did a step-by-step write up of how you can join the ATProto #IETF124 BoF session at 9:30am EST this morning remotely. No cost registration.

hmm something must be happening rn

one day

death by a million geese bites third installment of the @nagare.pds.bsky.ln4.net saga: ranking models, re-rankers, and the future of the project #atproto

a quick 30 minute feature anyone ????

get bit

you can use wafrn bites on reddwarf.app

couple ways to answer that! there are some AT-specific rules, like usage of $type, and best practices like record data size limits, "nesting" depth. those are not CBOR-specific. for encoding rules, I think we want DASL, which aligns with DAG-CBOR...

repo spec question: what's the future of record encoding, DAG-CBOR or just CBOR? ietf draft spec, 2.7 Deterministic CBOR Encoding: just CBOR atproto.com repository and data model specs: DAG-CBOR in practice rn it's not strict DAG-CBOR (many floats in real records etc) @bnewbold.net @dholms.xyz

october has ended! hacktober is over! but good-first-issues never sleep... should this bot stay alive and keep posting good-first-issue tags? any requests or changes you'd like?

i have never seen mentions in bsky posts outpace *likes* globally. spam wave or somehow organic? this is a log scale: normally bsky likes are 10x(!) more frequent than mentions in posts: this peak just hit >200x the normal baseline mention rate

foobar-repo-2 was an incredible sequel

stumbling upon mildly interesting linked data in atproto @oppi.li added @jay.bsky.team as a collaborator five times to three repos in @tangled.org records: cassiopeia:6789/xrpc/blue.mi... repos: - core-fork (localhost:5555) - test-fetch (localhost:5555) - foobar-repo-2 (localhost:6000)

summary of the small Montreal relay and jetstream incident this morning from a suspected networking issue: - relay PDS connections dropped around 3am EST - autoreconnect brought them back up around 8am EST firehose event delivery was *delayed* during those five hours (no events were lost)

on my way to ietf 124

Allegedly's `mirror` and `wrap` modes can now export request traces via opentelemetry (so honeycomb.io just works) pass `--enable-opentelemetry` to enable. uses the standard environment vars, `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`, `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS`, and `OTEL_SERVICE_NAME`

oooh hey another constellation-powered bsky client 🌌

for this week's atproto news I'm comparing todays Dutch election result with how active the politicians are on Bluesky and in other news: - GreenEarth is building personalised algos on atproto, with 300k in funding - more interop between publishing platforms - polls on leaflet

I've been working on this with our amazing team for five months now, and we're getting very close to sharing more about what we've been up to. I'm so excited.

there is *so much* awful annoying motion happening from not just apps but ios itself at all times, that it’s hard to remember that this is (supposedly, somehow) reduced from what it normally would be i just want to press a thing and have my screen just go to the thing. please.

its there, it works, i'm using it on my jetstream consumers: tangled.org/@l4.pm/jetst... default pool is composed of bsky jetstreams + @microcosm.blue jetstreams (more instances are welcome). finds the best one from its pov given latency to all of them

New from @tangled.org/core: > Pushing Tag Already On Main Offers New PR

another plc mirror has hit the atmosphere :D tangled.sh/@seiso.moe/a... i want to find something fun to do with front end for it/show a timeline of operations/validnesses

i feel so bad that auth is still broken for the spacedust universal atproto notifications demo, it's actually so fun to get pushes for tangled stars, leaflet comments, and random new apps that sometimes aren't even out yet lol maybe i should tag it a good-first-issue and someone can fix it up

👀👀

atpropos of nothing

red dwarf now lets you switch between different Microcosm instances! here im using @atproto-nix.org 's con.snek.cc and sd.snek.cc

Blacksky Algorithms == Hard Decentralization.

microcosm is hard decentralization - 2x full network non-US-based public relays, among longest running indies - 3x public jetstream - the only public PLC mirror running the reference PLC code/with full PLC API support - the first public record cache infra built around com.atproto.*.getRecord

It's here! PDS MOOver now supports automated backups and restores that anyone can use! This also includes adversarial account migrations! pdsmoover.com

imo this is one of the most important things that needed to exist for more folks to feel comfortable trying out non-Bluesky PDSes huge shoutout to Bailey for taking this one on

atmosphere devs! 🧑‍🚀 just published a protocol checkin: docs.bsky.app/blog/protoco... tl;dr expect to see a lot of updates from us in the next few months. we're hard at work on making AT easier to build on & ensuring the network remains a resilient foundation for the future of open social

New from @hexmani.ac/bluroma: > Custom login splash text

me: opentelemetry sounds nice, how rust ecosystem: easy! simply: 1. grab the tracing and tracing_subscriber crates. oh and tracing_opentelemetry, the opentelemetry crate itself, plus opentelemetry_sdk, opentelemetry_oltp, opentelemetry_http. or a different combination, endpoint depending!

my “For You” feed has gotten really good

New from @tangled.org/core: > Cancelling out of the atproto auth flow leads to inelegant response

oh nice! there are callouts in the microcosm readme and they just started working

(i’ve been mostly out sick the whole week, and next week is a crunch, but i will get back to this!)

parakeet.at/parakeet Parakeet is a Rust-based Bluesky AppView aiming to implement most of the functionality required to support the Bluesky client ⭐️ 63

Jacquard v0.6.0 is a doozie. We got: - WebSocket streaming - HTTP streamed responses and (on non-wasm platforms) requests - Support for atproto event streams (firehose) - Jetstream subscribers - Also fixed blob upload and download bugs & CID link deserialization issues. tangled.org/@nonbinary.c...
