Mind you we also made the only ever hieroglyph lyric music video so far youtu.be/51kLlktsCqY?...

I love working with talented friends. This is one of my favourite lyric videos and it’s to something I wrote youtube.com/watch?v=dkyc...

In preparation for various projects I've been putting together an @astro.build + @atproto.com login starter: tangled.org/@daffl.xyz/a... - no database (or other storage) needed and hopefully fully web standard (and edge runtime) compliant eventually.

For anyone following along he is referring to @dwebyvr.org 😉 Come join us! And if you are not around Vancouver check getdweb.net to find (or create!) a node of your own! 🙌

The point for Canada was that counter tariffs ultimately just hurt the people but making it legal (again) to fix your own tractor or reverse engineer a proprietary file format or API for compatibility is where it does hurt the mega corporations that are supporting all this.

Lots of great takeaways from seeing Cory Doctorow talk about Enshittification yesterday. One that stuck out for me was using right-to-repair and repealing DRM laws as a sovereignty tool.

@tangled.org Was looking forward to create a new repo with some actual code but all I'm getting is "Failed to announce repository creation." when trying to create it.

Thanks to everyone that attended the community call today! 🍿 For those that couldn't make it, here's the recording featuring @patternist.xyz, @nikgraf.bsky.social, @daffl.xyz, @spiralganglion.com, and @seaofclouds.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwOw...

DWebYVR fall events: dwebyvr.org/dwebyvr-fall...

Did the Howe Sound Crest Trail last week. A multi day adventure out in the woods only a 20 minute drive from Vancouver.

New blog post — Recap of DWeb Camp Cascadia, Canada’s first regional Decentralized Web Camp in the Pacific Northwest organized by @dwebyvr.org The people, presentations, and activities that made this ~60 person Camp a resounding success. ⛺✨ blog.archive.org/2025/09/03/d...

🏕️ Camper @mai.bsky.social wrote up a report of #DWebCampCascadia 🙌 Get a cup of tea and sit by the fire. Mai goes into detail about the programming and has some great photos 📸 Hopefully we see you out next year! blog.archive.org/2025/09/03/d...

Ok we made it to the ferry (and are in fact on it now). The middle picture is to show the antenna on the roof which is part of the Galiano network www.galianonet.org that @avibryant.com helped setup @jacobsayles.bsky.social @daffl.me @expede.wtf on the ferry #dwebcampcascadia

#mossymonday tree on Salt Spring Island. Heading there this week again for #dwebcampcascadia!

Big thanks to @feathers.dev who has been doing some excellent work in DWeb technology advancement. Thank you for your sponsorship of #dwebcampcascadia! Only a few more days until we set up camp 🏕️ 😆

Looking forward to being a part of #dwebcampcascadia hosted by @dwebyvr.org dwebyvr.org/thanking-cam...

Automerge 3 is here: the heart transplant is complete! Huge improvements in memory usage and (in most cases) correspondingly big performance improvements too. Backwards compatible on disk and the network so there's no reason not to upgrade today: automerge.org/blog/automer...

Burgruine Eisenach, view from the castle wall

Wankberg, Garmisch Partenkirchen, Germany. Also, Wankbahn gondola #69. Also, the Wankhaus panic room door. Also, I am a mature, bilingual adult #wankmalwieder

One of the great things about the alps is that you can always get food and drinks on the mountain. Otto-Mayr-Hütte says "No we don't have WiFi but loads of Schnaps". Pretty good views, too.

Große Schlicke, Austria. The alps on one side, the lakes and towns around Neuschwanstein castle on the other.

At home in Germany. Helped install more solar panels, now relaxing on the patio on the wooden bench I grew up on.

Frankfurt bound shot of the Howe Sound Crest trail (HSCT) as a reminder to finally hike it when I'm back!

I first saw Faun over 20 years ago at a small medieval festival in my home town in Germany. Glad they made their way to Vancouver.

The real AI battle isn't about who has the best model—it's about who controls your context. I just published a piece on why keeping these layers separate is the most important design decision of the AI era: www.techdirt.com/2025/06/16/w...

Gambier Island backcountry #hiking this week

On repeat the past two weeks: Legends by Inuit style throat singing duo PIQSIQ piqsiq.bandcamp.com/album/legends

My friends at Bateman Labs are launching a new magnetic office/gaming chair: batemanlabs.com/products/enc... Made in 🇨🇦 #buylocal

Guess what folks? DWeb Camp Cascadia is on, and tickets are live! Aug 8-10, we'll be camping out on Salt Spring Island in the first-ever regional DWeb Camp for the Pacific Northwest. Learn more and get your tickets here: dwebyvr.org/camp/ #dwebcampcascadia @getdweb.net

Started using @zed.dev as my main editor last week. It's fast, has Intellisense that works and supports local models. Made me realise how janky VSCode (and its billion dollar forks) have actually gotten.

It was nice out there yesterday, too.

After many days (and nights) outside in the Canadian mountains I finally got to (safely) encounter a wild bear friend 🐻 skipping down a snowy trail. We both went our merry ways after this picture.

Chris Hewitt of our beloved Terminus Festival joins us to discuss the finer points of putting together an event catering to fans of Our Thing. www.idieyoudie.com/2025/06/05/w...
