people saying ai is a fad don't know what they're talking about. i'm definitely not giving up my claude now; the ability to do structural refactors "change this thing to be layered like this thing in this other project" is fantastic. i *do* want the model to be local and hope we'll get there in time

Protocol Check-in (Fall 2025) | Bluesky
We last shared a protocol roadmap back in March 2025, and wow does time fly. If we're being honest, we haven't tied a bow on as many of these threads as we would've hoped. Oh time, strength, cash, and...

In past side projects i would never bother to make a UI, or I would just have a janky CLI that interacts with everything, having Claude make me a simple little web interface for things now is really nice, even if its not “good” it’s very helpful and makes things more fun to keep working on

Added support to Konbini for jetstream and multiple backends. Jetstream is *much* lighter in terms of bandwidth and CPU to process the firehose, and the multiple backends config can be used to just subscribe to individual PDSs instead of a full relay firehose.

It's really amazing to me, a person born in the 90s, that I have a 13" laptop that has 24 CPU cores that go up to 5.1Ghz and 96GB of ram and it weighs under 3 pounds. So easy to take for granted just how far compute performance has improved. Young me would not believe it

Some people seem to think that "decentralized" means "I can never have the reach of my posts restricted in any way ever" and that's just not a workable definition.

Konbini now can load third party feeds! I also added a selective (manual) backfill endpoint to load all of a given users posts, fleshed out background profile fetching a bit better, and added some (admittedly complex) instructions for how to point the main app at it

A little proof of concept I've been working on, it's a version of Bluesky that you can run locally, even on your laptop, that pulls just the data you care about from the firehose, indexes it, and provides you an interface to view and interact with posts.

The consequences of just building yet another centralized social media platform are dire, we are not here to be a second Twitter, and not here to "own" the network or your data.

No, you are not our product. Our product _is_ the code that we write and distribute for others to use. For others to take and build their communities. Making the users the product is exactly the model that never works and continues to never work.

So my eternal curse of going on vacation and having something break struck again. This time the wires for the cpu fan on my server were apparently rubbing against the fan, which over time was wearing through the wire and it just so happened to finally break fully the day that I left for a trip.

The really cool thing about this service is that if Bluesky the company were to shut every one of our servers down hard, this can still migrate your account to a new pds and keep going. Really awesome stuff for decentralization
