So let me get this right, the European Parliament has already rejected the mass surveillance of chats twice, but suddenly an emergency vote passes (during European summer!) that it should be voted on for the third time? What’s the most charitable interpretation?

Unfortunately not going to make it to @localfirstconf.com this year, but have a couple tickets now that aren’t going to be used. If you’d like to go but couldn’t afford tickets give me a shout!

We shipped content addressing to millions of users, then spent ~10 years pretending the spec already existed. 😅 Well, billions of CIDs later, it's finally real: the official CID spec is live on the @ipfs.tech specs. specs.ipfs.tech/cid/ Thanks @lidel.org and @robin.berjon.com

The future is now! - Dial keys, not IPs, thanks to Iroh - Fetch hashes, not URLs, thanks to DASL - Build on shared records, not siloed databases, thanks to the AT Protocol

A new blog post is out. This time I try to provide some evidence that most programming languages already make a distinction between floats and integers when they work with JSON: vmx.cx/cgi-bin/blog... Supporting GitHub repo: github.com/vmx/json-flo...

PLC question: can I create a did:plc without a bluesky account?

This week we have released @iroh.computer 1.0. As part of the release we also publish language support for python, swift, kotlin and javascript. Read more about it here: iroh.computer/blog/iroh-la... These are bindings to the 1.0 rust api, so they will *remain compatible* as we evolve the core.

Conf schedule is now live: app-2026.localfirstconf.com/schedule

@support.bsky.team It seems like there's a problem with our bluesky profile for Radicle when accessed via the domain, It's showing up as "invalid handle" Can you help? bsky.app/profile/radi... bsky.app/profile/did:...

Radicle Garden now supports custom domains That means full sovereignty, zero lock-in. radicle.garden youtu.be/KDbajeSTtjk

It just dawned on me that "firm"ware is someplace between software and hardware.

This has been a long time in the making: a proposal on adding floats support to ATProto vmx.cx/cgi-bin/blog... If you prefer code or a demo, you can jump right into the proof of concept: github.com/vmx/floats-o...

We have moved! Our main domain and AT Protocol handle changed from radicle.xyz to radicle.dev. Read more at radicle.dev/2026/04/23/d...

Are you ready to dazzle, bedazzle, and be dazzled? Because this coming Thursday is DASLing Group day! We're getting: • New video primitives MUXL & S2PA from @iame.li • The Radworks local-first app launcher from @norman.life • And more! Don't miss out! luma.com/yv4v1lba

How to overengineer ingredient sorting in a recipe app 🧵

Blog post about a new Chromium feature I've been working on to allow Web Extensions register protocol handlers just declaring them in the Manifest. blogs.igalia.com/jfernandez/2...

Zero to 1.0 After two years of work, 50+ releases, thousands of commits, and hundreds of bugfixes, we are officially declaring Zero stable and ready for production workloads. zero.rocicorp.dev/docs/release...

🪩 Introducing matadisco.org! — a way to discover open datasets via #atproto that doesn't depend on any single institution staying online. 🕺🏼 We have more public data than ever (satellite imagery, climate models, genomic sequences), but finding it is still painfully hard.

After a long time, there's finally a new blog post. I've been working on in the past few months on a new project called Matadisco! It's about metadata discovery and publishing on #ATProto: vmx.cx/cgi-bin/blog... #FOSS4G #geo

Just published a new guide in the @ipfs.tech docs comparing UnixFS, DASL, and @iroh.computer collections: docs.ipfs.tech/how-to/conte...

This is a very good write up of the developer relations function in a commercial company in 2026. How might these things be the same or different with protocols?

A small but meaningful update: IPIP-0499 is now merged into the IPFS spec! We're introducing configuration profiles for CIDs. 🧩 🧵

v0.97 is out & it's a biggie: custom transports, preset API, embeddable relay server, address filtering, and a switch to our own QUIC implementation! www.iroh.computer/blog/iroh-0-...

My notes from learning Rust agencymatters.xyz/software/Rust

one account wherever you go ☺️ your handle isn’t just for one app anymore ! we took @hello.pckt.cafe for a walk across the atmosphere

Somewhat counterintuitive, but I often find it easier to concentrate with just my macbook pro 14 inch laptop screen than with two 27" 4k monitors. Usually it's in that initial getting into the flow window.

Kubo v0.40.0 is packed with UX and performance improvements: Reproducible CID Profiles better connectivity diagnostics Friendlier ipfs dag stat output Improved content providing after startup Command to publish signed IPNS without key & more @ipfs.tech github.com/ipfs/kubo/re...

New blogpost about atproto It's not federation, it's not a p2p mesh. It's a secret third thing: practical. www.pfrazee.com/blog/practic...

Happy to announce that I’ve officially started obsessing over CO2. I’ve long been an avid Stoßlüfter — the German word for “House Burper”, but now I’m equipped with data Ah yes, another source of self-imposed anxiety in the name of “optimising my life” 👌

I wrote a deep dive on CIDs, the self-describing cryptographic fingerprints behind every record, blob, commit, and Merkle tree node in ATProtocol. Part 1 covers the history, the encoding primitives, and the specific constraints ATProtocol applies.

Excited to announce our collaboration with @ipfs.tech and https://dasl.ing on two new standards for the next thousand years of decentralized social video: S2PA and MUXL! Together they give us a standard for self-certifying and content-addressable media in the decentralized social ecosystem.

Hot off the internets — there's a brand new kid on the DASL block: Web Tiles! It's still early days, some key features are missing, and there are some rough edges, but you can publish tiles to AT and play with the idea! webtil.es

On the publishing side, it's worth looking at @offprint.app @leaflet.pub and @pckt.blog, who are all doing interesting things that may be relevant to publishers. I spent some time this weekend digging deep on this, and it's very cool: standard.site

Every time someone tells me that interoperable protocols are too complicated for the average person, I point out that they use email and the web. The goal needs to be to get atproto to the point that it is just "how the internet works" and the details fade into the background like https & smtp.

FOSDEM was a crazy weekend, with over 1,000 talks between two days! FOSS is flourishing 🌱 The Radicle maintainers were lucky enough to present two talks, check them out! 👉 ftp.belnet.be/mirror/FOSDE... 👉 mirror.as35701.net/video.fosdem... #radicle #decentralized #localfirst

GitHub Is Down, Radicle fixes this! https://radicle.xyz/

Another day of GitHub incidents is good moment to remind folks that with @radicle.xyz you can always collaborate, because it's local-first. You can create and review patches (PRs) without internet. No censorship (remember how youtube-dl), because it's peer-to-peer and sovereign.

As part of ProbeLab's revamp of @ipfs.tech metrics, we now have data on the performance of traditional, as well as service worker gateways! Read more at: probelab.io/blog/ipfs-ga... and head over to probelab.io/ipfs/gateways/ for all the dashboards!

Open source is fun The HackMD Sync @obsidian.md plugin was buggy, so I reached out to the author who gave me push access, and I just cut a release with bug fixes and new features. I now use it daily to publish Obsidian notes for collaboration and feedback. obsidian.md/plugins?id=h...
