pushed a tiny fix for tranquil pds on debug.hose.cam the debugger now shows `version` from the pds `describeServer` if present, falling back on the `_health` endpoint (for bsky pds impl) and no longer failing if the response at _health is not a JSON object

Both of us will be at @proto @fosdem later today! come have a chat if you can and want.

Tranquil aims to be a PDS done "the right way". Yes it's a hobby project for us but it's also a project born out of a wish that we all had better options with more features. As the readme alludes to we want to be able to scale up to multiple node deployments but that doesnt mean we dont want to

This is how it feels to work on tranquil

What features would you like to see in Tranquil that don’t exist in the ref implementation? We can do it all if you just ask nicely in an issue on our tangled repo

we finally moved the tranquil pds repo out from lewis' account and onto tangled.org/tranquil.far... please star it! otherwise it looks like just lewis gets all the glory!

This account’s did:web is hosted by the PDS itself. This is an optional feature of Tranquil PDS! Even if a PDS-hosted did:web user decides to migrate off this instance, a minimal did-doc will be served and available to edit no matter where the user goes. Pros and cons in replies…

We aim to be fully production-ready around March. Until then, no guarantee of stability. This serves as a warning to anyone using Tranquil PDS before we announce that it’s stable! There is a risk of total account bork. …at the same time we would love testers to find more bugs and quirks :P

beautiful software named tranquil.farm is in my notifications

just saying this out loud: we are not a company, we don’t want to make money, we’re not going to create some “hosted SaaS version” of tranquil that we try to force down your throat. we are just a bunch of nerds doing this for fun. this thing will always be open and free and transparent! :3

We need a logo but don’t know what it should be 🌚

This account itself highlights one of the benefits of tranquil: it is "delegated". It's a shared organization account and doesn't need any password of its own. Lewis and Nel able to "act as" this account through OAuth, and we can continue to add whoever else we want to control it.

This is how it feels to use Tranquil PDS

Hard to have a serious org account when there's no logo. Time to just make black/white profile pic to tide us over.
