Today is the day! #PfP✨London protocolsforpublishers.com/london-2026/

Big Update to the Big DASL: it now supports streaming verification with range retrieval. Many thanks to @b5.bsky.social for bringing that in! dasl.ing/bdasl.html

I think that single page applications, i.e. SPAs are close to the best *portable* container for local-first web applications assuming you ensure runtime configurability for any API dependency. If there's one thing you can bet on working in ten years, it's a folder with HTML and some assets.

@vmx.cx wrote up a quick tour of what happened in IPLD and multiformats this year: 🧱 New (much faster!) modular crates for Rust IPLD 🐦 Migration guide if you're still using libipld ✅ Rust multiformats (cid, multihash, multibase) production-ready blog.ipfs.tech/2026-01-ipld...

So much progress in the world of @ipfs.tech and content addressing more broadly, and none other than @robin.berjon.com can narrativise it in such such a light hearted and cheeky fashion ipfsfoundation.org/content-addr...

Yes, it went through a number of iterations, but what they ended up doing is a good, minimal design. Don't boil the ocean, reinvent the internet, just use existing tech whenever possible with some modifications to allow for the thing you actually care about to work.

Oops, I started a new project: Skyreader, an RSS reader on the AT Protocol. Share cool articles like it's 2010 and Google Reader would never die. skyreader.app www.disnetdev.com/blog/2026-01...

Microsoft Lens joining the enshittification ranks

I wrote a guide on how to set up a homelab server

We're so back! We're in the new year and we have released 1.6.0 (*Amaryllis*) of the Radicle binaries. 👾 Check out our update radicle.xyz/2026/01/14/r... 👾 Get the latest radicle.xyz/download 🌱

The future home of open source @radicle.xyz youtu.be/YKAeqLvO1ow

Just finished reading the @radicle.xyz Protocol Guide I love the elegance and how radicle piggybacks git and other foundational building blocks like noise xk (like @libp2p.bsky.social) with ed25519 keys which double as identities. More to come as I dive deeper radicle.xyz/guides/proto...

One of the nice things about @iroh.computer is how much thinking went into keeping things simple. The tags api, which provides functionality similar to the Pinning API in IPFS exemplifies this: www.iroh.computer/blog/a-riche...

Thursday next week will be the first CID Congress of 2026! Join us to talk content addressing, catch with the latest cool stuff! luma.com/zsa28r1b

AI writing detection is getting _really_ good these days. I hadn’t been paying attention to this part of the industry and I’m surprised (in a good way) to see how good it has gotten! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Beautiful design!

Okay, I it is that time of year again where I look for a Goodreads replacement 📚. Would love if it worked on atproto. I need organizing (shelves, lists, or tags), progress tracking (pages, %), the ability to post chapter notes, and cross-posting to Micro.blog/Bsky/Mastodon. Send me your reccos!

This thread of four tweets offers a neat mental model for working with coding agents

The new @deno_land deploy platform with @prisma integration is very neat. Deno has come such a long way and personally sparked a lot of joy building web apps. All while being relatively open and self hostable, taking vendor lock-in a bit out of the equation.

a year of work comes to fruition 😊

@chadfowler.com's second post in his new Phoenix Architecture blog, called The Death and Rebirth of Programming. Lots of quotable quotes, so hard to choose. "Soft skills" more important than ever, and this is all be a shock to people who self-identify as programmers.

SQLite reads and writes small blobs (for example, thumbnail images) 35% faster¹ than the same blobs can be read from or written to individual files on disk using fread() or fwrite(). www.sqlite.org/fasterthanfs...

@b5.bsky.social on brand with incredibly clear messaging again.

PSA: FLASH DRIVES and SSDs ARE NOT LONG TERM STORAGE

This may be the most important Kubo @ipfs.tech release in a long time Massive kudos to @guissou.bsky.social and the rest of the team who worked diligently all the way from research and measurement to implementation with UX in mind. ipshipyard.com/blog/2025-dh...

🛳️ Kubo 0.39 is out! 🎯 DHT Sweep provider now default, self-hosting-friendly ⚡ Fast root CID providing, content findable in <1s 🔧 Auto UPnP recovery after router restarts 📊 New `ipfs provide stat` for monitoring 🖥️ RISC-V prebuilt binaries github.com/ipfs/kubo/releases/tag/v0.39.0

Exactly. The cache hierarchy of the browser is optimised for performance, not for local experiences, and that's also reflected in how the UI for clearing cache is mostly temporal rather than app/origin specific. But perhaps the most annoying aspect is origins as the trust anchor.

I vibed with Gemini 3 an interactive visualisation of content-defined chunking, rolling hashes, and how they enable deduplication. LLMs are a wonderful for learning! 2color.github.io/content-defi...

computers started local-first and will go back to local-first

Guess who wasn't down today? IFPS. And IFPS websites like ours.

🇦🇷 IPFS Buenos Aires Meetup 🚀 Whether you're building on IPFS, curious about the tech, or want to shape its future — come chat with community and core contributors over food & drinks (on us!) 📅 Tues, Nov 18 @ 7pm-midnight 👥 40 spots available 🎟️ RSVP: luma.com/ipfs-ba

The latest interview up at the Protocol Oral History Project is a @bsky.app hometown hero: Protocol Engineer @bnewbold.net. I'm so grateful for his time and care in sharing his experience building the foundation for not only this app but many more: protocol.ecologies.info/interviews/n...

Preview of my @syncconf.bsky.social talk Just five days away now, getting excited!

Node excitement 😉 Congrats to @marcoippolito.dev on making it official: type-stripping in Node 25 is now declared to be stable 🎉 You can run: node index.ts The capabilities have not changed since Node 24. This is purely a maturity indicator.

Long awaited!

Helia now supports periodically republishing IPNS records for you! Save on chain gas costs with your ENS names by pointing to an IPNS name! github.com/ipfs/helia/p...

youtube downloading is fixed reliably! (for now, at least) go try it with various settings, all formats & qualities should be back: cobalt.tools it’s unknown for how long this will last, but hopefully it’ll be all sunshine and rainbows for a bit

QUIC Address Discovery in @iroh.computer is pretty neat www.iroh.computer/blog/qad

Software RAID > Hardware RAID If you care about data longevity Powerful hardware is cheap enough today to run zfs and being able to hotswap hardware and import your zfs pool gives peace of mind because it ensures data longevity. #homelab

Our lovely event hosts @c-base.org have a great backyard on the Spree! Come by the Swapfest, swap some electronics, get a drink from the @c-base.org bar bot and enjoy the weather! Registration is open until the 28th! www.swapfest.berlin

on X: “which browser can i paste a CID into” Wild how IPFS gets flak for not being “built into browsers,” while BitTorrent needs a client and Tor needs its own browser. UX is about the same; easier, even, with ipfs-companion or gateways. The tech isn’t the problem 😬, the expectations are. #ipfs

Finally we have a UnixFS spec published in the @ipfs.tech specs! specs.ipfs.tech/unixfs/ #ipld #ipfs

TIL the limits of older hardware Enabling seal (encryption and integrity checks) for an SMB3 mounted volume (Synology DS216play with 2 HDs in RAID) causes read speeds to plummet from ~45 MB/s to ~15 MB/s
