I benchmarked Relay\Table against APCu yesterday and I'm very pleased with the results 🤗

We released v0.30.0 with various performance improvements and a redesigned `Relay\Table` that now uses the shared memory pool as well and compared to APCu scales linearly with each core.

This is part of our ongoing work to make Bluesky a great place to connect with the rest of the Atmosphere. We’re pleased to see others recently investing in making the same connections. WordPress now offers a plugin that lets any WP site publish to the network as well.

ATmosphere 1.0.0 — Liftoff

This post isn’t about the ActivityPub plugin. ATmosphere is a separate plugin from the same small team, for the other half of the open social web: the AT Protocol, the open network behind Blu…

I love seeing @mgrunder.bsky.social's work on @relay.so show up in production metrics.

Having a UniFi Travel Router for long flights and hotel WiFi is extremely underrated. Especially when plugged into Ethernet ports in hotels. Just wow 🤩

Let's build a better internet! On Search Engine this week, PJ, @kevinroose.com and I go nuts and set up a Fediverse server www.searchengine.show/the-fedivers...

The Fediverse Experiment

Our present version of the internet is arguably the worst it’s ever been. Which means – any shot at changing things, even an unlikely one – is worth trying out. Thr…

Oh my glob, I can’t believe how fugly the iOS 26 design is. How was this give the goahead?!

@caseynewton.bsky.social cannot wait for tomorrows episode 🤣

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

There were better shows on Netflix when it cost $10 a month

If you loved Scavengers Reign as much as I did, let’s get it renewed for another season: chng.it/48WZYP8BLy

Sending messages via satellite in iMessage is wild! Feels like magic 😱 Someone took down a power line and we were stuck in the middle of nowhere and messaged back and forth seamlessly. Wild.

@liss.bsky.social I use Cloudflare Workers for my Apple Push Notifications. Always works, no server to maintain.

I can’t believe how terrible the iOS 18.2 image playground is. Looks nothing like the people in my photo library, extremely limited choices 😒

As if anyone in NYC is scared because a murderer is on the loose 🤣

@caseynewton.bsky.social remember the metaverse?

Not everyone realises how easy it is to run a local LLM these days. If you’re on MacOS with Homebrew: > brew install --cask ollama > ollama run llama3.2 That’s it.

If you get ads on your Smart TV, it’s often as simple as blocking 3-4 domains in your router/gateway or PiHole.

Great news for everyone who, like most people, bought a TV to make it easier for Walmart to reach them

Well this is fun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzI_... (Note: House in thumbnail is some other house.)

We’re staying at this fancy ass boutique hotel. The doorman was super chatty with us. There was a hiccup with the rooms he overheard. Few hours later… ran into the same concierge guy on the street without his top hat on. He asks where are you staying? My response: “At your mom’s house.”

What’s the best way to social media but see near zero political content?

@caseynewton.bsky.social The beat from 50:49 to 52:51 is great. Should be your new intro music ✌️

@caseynewton.bsky.social now that you’re doing ads 😒 Can you please offer a paid, ad-free version through Apple Podcasts?

WiFi 6E is legit. I’m impressed with how fast it’s gotten.

hello, good morning i just witnessed someone use the acronym “bdsm” to mean “business development, sales, and marketing” and i have never been so glad to have my camera off

Something I appreciate about Bluesky: the release notes contain actual release notes!

Fionna & Cake has highly surpasses the expectations I had for it. 10/10 IMO.

Apple’s object capture and room plan features on iOS 17 look incredible, I can’t wait to see apps leveraging those.

@caseynewton.bsky.social I’m so glad you did the emergency Burning Man report. I do feel heard.

Pfff, they say that every year 🙄

Earth reaches hottest day ever recorded 3 days in a row

Heat is the number-one weather-related killer in the world, with more than 600 people dying from heat-related illnesses every year in the U.S.
