Happy Friday! I've been building towards an "Atmosphere OS", where my atproto account is the identity layer on a real phone. I wrote a little bit about it here:

@ryanwithboulder.bsky.social please oppose sending this to the ballot. There are other tools to solve the ailments of downtown that don’t involve locking critical tax dollars away from BVSD, OSMP, and other critical projects for the next 30 years. This is a total giveaway to commercial landlords.

#Boulder City Council is divided over whether to put a downtown development authority on the November ballot. Supporters say it could revitalize downtown. Critics warn it would divert future tax revenue from city services and other public agencies for decades. boulderreportinglab.org/2026/08/02/b...

Nushell is totally blowing my mind.

Just wanna say thanks to the folks building @zed.dev - your hyper focus on performance and responsiveness is just so refreshing.

Oh man - a discord alternative I can #selfhost?? Somebody pinch me!

Hendrik Mans@hmans.dev · 4w ago

Very happy to announce that @chatto.run, the amazing little team chat app you can self-host from your own infrastructure (and quite easily so), is now available & Open Source. ✨

Anybody know of a (preferably #selfhost ) open source alternative to Discord? Really sick of their ads and scummy engagement bait when all I want to do is get on a conference call with my friends for gaming and DnD

@ryanwithboulder.bsky.social Are you aware of this? Where is our advocacy in City Council to keep mainstay cycling routes on city land open and accessible for all? #Boulder #openstreets #cycling boulderreportinglab.org/2026/07/07/b...

Why did Boulder put a giant boulder in a bike route? Cyclists want answers.

The city says cyclists can still use the route. Initial signs and emails suggested otherwise.

Is there a good JQ-like tool for grepping around an #XML file? Seems like a lot of tools just convert XML to JSON - but what if I cared about both attributes and elements?

It’d sick if @npmx.dev had a section for similar/alternative packages. Sometimes I just want to find a replacement (preferably drop-in replacement) for an abandoned dep. Or am considering a dep but unaware of newer/better alternatives.

More than 7,500 people responded to #Boulder County's survey on a proposed trail-use pilot that could limit bike access on certain days. The result: 70% opposed the idea, while 17% supported it. boulderreportinglab.org/2026/06/04/b...

OPINION — “The pilot is not balance. It is a policy choice made on behalf of one group’s preferences, dressed in the language of conservation, by an institution that has not meaningfully updated its philosophy in decades,” writes Rex Madden. #Boulder boulderreportinglab.org/2026/05/24/r...

Opinion | Rex Madden: Boulder County's trail-use pilot unfairly targets mountain bikers

The county’s proposed alternating trail-use pilot is being justified by preference-based conflicts, not documented safety risks or ecological evidence.

Anybody have an email provider they love? I’ve got a couple domains I’d like to set up a handful of inboxes under. I’ve been looking at Proton, Neo Mail, and Fastmail. Any others I should check out?

Did GitHub break stacked PRs? I swear I used to be able to be able to have PRs chained to the branch they were based on. And after merging the upstream GitHub would cleanly rebase my downstream to main. Now I just merge conflicts.

Tesla’s stock price is so absurd. flat revenue and declining profits for two years and the P/E ratio is over 400. valued like a startup despite zero growth. this is 40-50% of Musk’s wealth and it’s entirely fictional finance.yahoo.com/quote/TSLA

mature things tend to get pressured into being less weird over time, so if you're starting from scratch your advantage is that you can be very weird if you don't start weird you're probably trying to compete inside the local maximum of something more boring than you could be
