On the Sunshine Coast for a week. There is #moss… and #lichen

February DwebYVR events: dwebyvr.org/dwebyvr-febr...

Thursday evening we've got a confirmed Vancouver craft brewery tour lead by @daffl.xyz & @ngerakines.me. Join the @roomy.space channel to find out more, and plan other Vancouver adventures roomy.space/did:plc:ik6z...

"Thankless maintenance leads to burnout. Sabbaticals rarely sustain solo maintainers. Niche projects struggle against VC-backed hyperscalers. Paid services are hollowed out by AI." natemoo.re/posts/missin...

This looks interesting. A @semble.so integration could be really neat.

This Wednesday is the Folk Tech Connection Call: https://luma.com/to7dxjhz ​> Folk Tech is a movement among people who want to develop apps for their community without depending on big tech companies and a community of developers making decentralized, p2p, open source, open standard-based tech […]

Paciic Cental, Vancouver in a January fog

I haven't been mossposting recently so here is some #moss on the way to Tunnel Bluffs a year ago

The @dwebyvr.org year is already filling up.

This is the complete, real migration of @mk.gg from the Bluesky PDS to a new Cirrus PDS Worker. The more boring bits are sped-up to get it under the 3 minute video limit. The real thing took about 12 mins. Try it yourself: github.com/ascorbic/cir...

Ravens on Seymour on the way to Dog Mountain

Correction, obviously I meant 2026 but years are hard 😆

Happy new year! Here are our January events: dwebyvr.org/dwebyvr-janu...

Just finished "The Willows" (1907) by Algernon Blackwood. An excellent short story of early cosmic horror www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11438

While Stackoverflow had its own problems, I've been seeing a very similar trend for most open source projects as well. Often they are used (by indicators like e.g. downloads) more than ever before but no longer have any insight into how or how to improve.

After seeing another nudge from @atprotocol.dev, I finally got a proposal for a presentation/lightning talk in for atmosphereconf.org "@lofi - ATproto and local-first software" - Looking at local-first tools for user owned private data and how it can interact with Atproto.

We reveal and revisit our favourite records of the year. www.idieyoudie.com/2025/12/18/i...

Hey you scrolling late at night. It’s still Bandcamp Friday for A few hours and you can still DO something with your day. I just put out a record of heavy antifascist darkwave. Try it out. seeming.bandcamp.com/album/the-wo...

Looking forward to spending the weekend with this album from my Bandcamp Friday haul: seeming.bandcamp.com/album/the-wo...

Get your typing fingers nimble, the #ATmosphereConf call for proposals is open!

Finally got to write up some of the things I've been working on this year. This was a fun open source collaboration and I'm looking forward to where it goes.

Hey, I just launched an app called Antler. The app showcases how we can rebuilt WeChat Mini Apps, but using open web standards. dmathewwws.com/antler-an-ir...

Lynn Valley November vibes

Looking forward to making some noise again just before Krampus day: luma.com/k7fspser

Coding Trance music from scratch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu5r... using strudel.cc a live coding platform to write music in the browser.

Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing. I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink. But I'm tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.

What is #folktech? Read the recap from the first convening on Oct 18. Check out the slide deck in the post and sign up for the next virtual event on Nov 19 here: luma.com/h0nmrgu9?tk=... dwebyvr.org/recap-folk-t...

A number of DWebYVR events for November for you. 📚 book club 📓 tools-for-thought hack day 🥘 potluck! dwebyvr.org/dwebyvr-nove... #vancouver #tech #commons #community #ethicaltech

threw together a lil web component to add this to any input. super easy progressive UX enhancement for your atproto app! tangled.org/@jakelazarof...

Sunbow caught #hiking the Howe Sound Crest trail with @tjofthegreen.bsky.social this August. Wasn’t sure the camera would capture it but it did work.

Trying the local models in the Apollo iOS app recommended by @chadkoh.com. Had it search for Canadian news. It seems pea producers are facing tariff challenges, making it difficult to replace aging submarines.

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...

Eldritch horrors were unleashed at the @automerge.org community call today.

Join us this Wednesday for the Automerge Community Call ("Spoooooky Edition" 🎃👻)! Come find out about the latest updates, get some the behind-the-scenes of our shiny new website, and see some demos of what folks are building with Automerge! 📆 Event page: luma.com/acd77awg

We have a shiny new website courtesy of @spiralganglion.com and @seaofclouds.com 🙌 🚀 Check it out: automerge.org
