Lie of the day: cloud-init is supposed to make things easier. #fml

I just published a new web tool called atproto-did-web which will create and activate a did:web based account on your own PDS. You just need to give it some details and follow some basic instructions. It’s fresh and a WIP but seems to be working well. atproto-did-web.lukeacl.com

In the past few hours I have mentally written 2 blog posts, a multibase encoder/decoder, and an admin ui for my PDS. I should be sleeping but I can't. I need to sleep but I can't. #insomnia is a cruel bastard.

Nobody has ever dropped a more fire comeback than, “The bar is so low it’s a tripping hazard in hell, and yet here you are limbo dancing with the devil.”

Never have I ever seen an organisation so efficiently squander the goodwill of their most fierce supporters.

He's had it, and now we're paying the price.

Quick update Bluesky: ever wonder why there are no sharp images of these “drones” when many people have good cameras? 👇👇

i also wrote a tiny post about this jaronoff.com/blog/2024-04...

hey liz! i have exactly this setup for my personal PDS and have it via TF in this github repo github.com/jaronoff97/p.... it's a very barebones setup, but should still get the job done.

This is super fucked up. @safety.bsky.app you're literally helping doxxing trans people now.

Bluesky let Jesse Singal stay and now he's posting the spreadsheet again with the PHI of trans youth from Missouri. They only emboldened him.

Have ADHD and ever find yourself wracked with guilt and shame about how you have left all your friends on read for days, weeks, or months? And when you do finally muster up the courage to speak, it feels pathetic? Take heart. You will always be better at comms than Trust and Safety.

Having ADHD medication can help with consistency in your life, for example I am consistently forgetting to take them

this is a work in progress thing to get the entire bluesky stack running fully self hosted, it looks like it's within throwing distance of working but isn't there yet github.com/itaru2622/bl.... need to get it a lot more attention, imo. #atdev #atproto

“Yes, we briefly constructed a user-focused social media website so popular and culturally relevant we had Zuckerberg quaking in his boots, but we threw it all away to protect one weasely little bigot with a mid-tier Substack.” is that what we’re doing here, Bluesky it was going so well

Personally, I think Jesse Singal should be banned from Bluesky for his own protection.

(sigh) sometimes I have to :facepalm: when the super junior dev at $orkplace asks me questions, but I try to be zen about it. I'll give the answer first, I'll leave the original question (and reason for asking) as exercise to the reader. The answer: "$number % 2".

Set a new personal record today: fully manually standing up a #Nomad cluster (with #Consul, and a #Vault on the side) with all the trimmings: 2 hours. Now that all the shinies are turned into #Ansible playbooks, the record for a mostly-automatic run: 30 minutes. Hell yeah.

Anyone on Bluesky want a recipe manager? @hayden.moe is cooking one up called cookware 😁 which saves to your pds. So exciting to see another atproto app in the works #cookware #recipe #atproto #bluesky #atprotodev #bsky #atprotoapp #opensource

Yesterday I pulled overt references of queerness off my site, my very successful store that sells my books that have queer main characters. Because a few days ago, Meta emailed saying my advertising on their platform will be restricted - my site was categorized as "sexuality and gender identity."

This didn't last long.

I've been wanting to write something about the recent Bluesky moderation thing (or lack of, for that matter) but I just can't find the energy to write it in a way where I don't come off like a raving madman because I'm *ahem* a little peeved at how it's playing out. Been there, done that...

I wonder how many FT moderators you need to manage ~1M users' reports...

I wrote about Bluesky's messy L'affaire Jesse Singal. This post also contains a pretty good recipe for spicy butternut squash soup. little-flying-robots.ghost.io/bluesky-gets...

Everything Happens So Much: Bluesky's L'affaire Singal + Butternut Squash Soup

We live in the era of too much news, but even by those already-low standards, there's been too much goddamned news over the last two weeks. Every time I try to sit down and write one of these, somethi...

Fuck. Fuckity fucking fuckballs. Bookmarks fucking when @bsky.app ? I was scrolling on my phone during the morning 3S and saw an interesting thing someone posted and was like oh well I'll see it in my timeline on desktop but now it's not there and I really wanted to fucking read what they linked.
