The browser is the wrong medium for local-first 🫠 Act accordingly. (I don't think we can fix browsers unfortunately)

UPDATE: Bitchat is now mirrored on @radicle.dev — censorship-resistant, peer-to-peer code hosting: iOS/macOS: rad:z2v9tRJz1oknFAqCSY5W5c76nVvm6 Android: rad:z347HbE1F4c77DVLvsPe2ApoEEw6f Clone it. Seed it. Keep it alive. 👇

I now have complete understanding.

3rd year at @localfirstconf.com What keeps me coming back isn't the talks -- it's that the same faces keep showing up, and they're slowly turning into friends Feels less like a conference, more like a movement working to elevate user agency with software

2026 @localfirstconf.com is truly one of the few places that unite disparate communities—open source, LLMs, p2p, interface design, standards—behind a shared value: user agency and empowerment. How refreshing to witness the openness and curiosity everyone brings to the discussion.

Two tools I recently learned about for sandboxing agents without needing a full VM nono.sh agent-safehouse.dev

Agent Safehouse

Sandbox your LLM coding agents on macOS. Kernel-level enforcement via sandbox-exec — deny-first, composable, zero dependencies.

So let me get this right, the European Parliament has already rejected the mass surveillance of chats twice, but suddenly an emergency vote passes (during European summer!) that it should be voted on for the third time? What’s the most charitable interpretation?

Unfortunately not going to make it to @localfirstconf.com this year, but have a couple tickets now that aren’t going to be used. If you’d like to go but couldn’t afford tickets give me a shout!

We shipped content addressing to millions of users, then spent ~10 years pretending the spec already existed. 😅 Well, billions of CIDs later, it's finally real: the official CID spec is live on the @ipfs.tech specs. specs.ipfs.tech/cid/ Thanks @lidel.org and @robin.berjon.com

The future is now! - Dial keys, not IPs, thanks to Iroh - Fetch hashes, not URLs, thanks to DASL - Build on shared records, not siloed databases, thanks to the AT Protocol

We just released the first stable version of iroh, v1.0! Read about it: www.iroh.computer/blog/v1 We're super proud of where we landed with iroh's 1.0. Since version 0.35 it feels like we've entirely replaced the "engine underneath". Are you a fellow key-dialer? Come tell us how you use iroh!

A new blog post is out. This time I try to provide some evidence that most programming languages already make a distinction between floats and integers when they work with JSON: vmx.cx/cgi-bin/blog... Supporting GitHub repo: github.com/vmx/json-flo...

PLC question: can I create a did:plc without a bluesky account?

This week we have released @iroh.computer 1.0. As part of the release we also publish language support for python, swift, kotlin and javascript. Read more about it here: iroh.computer/blog/iroh-la... These are bindings to the 1.0 rust api, so they will *remain compatible* as we evolve the core.

@zooko2.bsky.social @b5.bsky.social @robin.berjon.com Say I have a 50GB video file and I know what the last 49.99GB are going to be but not the very first part. Can I precompute the right side of the BLAKE3 tree and finalize the BDASL CID once I'm ready with the header?
