Eliot Hertenstein @eliot.sh · 29/04/2026Back when Bluesky first launched, there was a ton of momentum about leaving Twitter. But it was hard to migrate, hard to crosspost. Too many people didn't make the jump. Software needs a critical mass like social media, and now the wind is in @tangled.org's sails. I hope they get it right. 011
Eliot Hertenstein @eliot.sh · 29/04/2026hey @tangled.org... this might be a great time to build some tools that make it easy to try hosting your repo on Tangled, or at least write a blog post about how to move over. 000
Eliot Hertenstein @eliot.sh · 29/03/2026Shoutout @danabra.mov for vibe-fixing his talk on the big screen. Only at #ATmosphereConf 0180
Eliot Hertenstein @eliot.sh · 14/01/2026I’ve long said that a major factor in my choice of airline is WiFi. The fact that Air France now offers fast (and free!) Starlink means it’s now my usual go-to for flights to Europe. Fantastic work! 000
Eliot Hertenstein @eliot.sh · 19/07/2025There are so many reasons to love the Paris metro, but one of them is how quick stops are. The doors are open for less than 10 seconds at some stations. This is what platform doors and high frequency enables! If trains are arriving every 4 minutes, missing a train isn’t a big deal. 031
Eliot Hertenstein @eliot.sh · 29/06/2025Currently transported back to the 90s on my United flight — there’s a credit card reader built into the seat back and they’re showing the trailer for “Clueless (1995)” which is wonderfully dated. 020
Eliot Hertenstein @eliot.sh · 28/06/2025Anyone know why the Seattle Metro has such wide corridors in their stations? Possibly to accommodate a future express track or something? 230
Eliot Hertenstein @eliot.sh · 17/06/2025It throws an internal server error (even with my bsky.social pds) 200
Eliot Hertenstein @eliot.sh · 17/04/2025For this build, I’m running Shimano Ultegra Di2 (R8170). Ultegra is in the upper-middle tier of Shimano’s offerings, with 105 being the lowest and Dura-Ace being the highest. Di2 means the shifting is electronic — rather than running a cable, the shifters communicate wirelessly with the derailleur. 001
Eliot Hertenstein @eliot.sh · 15/04/2025I primarily ride in the South Bay Area, mostly in the hills east of the Stanford campus. Disc breaks will be a huge upgrade on the descents – more stopping power translates to more control and better cornering. They also mean I can run wider tires, which translates to an even more comfortable ride. 100
Eliot Hertenstein @eliot.sh · 15/04/2025The K10s Disc is the successor to the K8-S, my current frame. Designed for cobble, the K8-S features 9mm of rear travel, which makes it super comfortable. Even so, I've found it to be a great descender (it's very smooth) and also climb really well. It's surprisingly stiff, even with rear suspension! 100
Eliot Hertenstein @eliot.sh · 15/04/2025Building a new bike and figured I'd document the progress here! Something I love about cycling is the standardization across the industry – with some caveats, most components are compatible with most frames. This build begins with a Pinarello frame, the K10s. 120
