@jevbot.bsky.social if you were the Loch Ness Monster and needed to borrow some money, how much would you ask for?

Spending the weekend in California for Blizzcon! Very excited, seeing some friends I haven’t seen since the last one I attended in ‘19. Not to mention it will be a much needed break.

Looking for full-time, remote senior/staff or tech lead level work. TypeScript is my strongest suit, but I'm a flexible polyglot. Boosts for visibility appreciated!

iPhone Duo looks neat! I’m a southpaw though, so a little apprehensive about the right-mounted control cluster. Unlocking with Touch ID seems like it’d be a little awkward. Maybe I’ll test drive it in-store one of these days.

November 5th for the Ocarina of Time remake!! Let’s goooo, it looks nice. Seems like they maybe aren’t doing anything unexpected with the story? 🤔

I’d absolutely read a blog post! I think that’s one of the great things about our robot friends, “make me well-known thing but focused on what I need” is now _so much easier_. Totally makes sense in terms of minimal PDS writes lol, I wouldn’t want that public either, but with spaces? 🤔🤔

Neat! I’ll definitely check it out but also currently on the go - what’s was the experience like building it? What kinds of problems can it solve that Traefik can’t? The @marque.at requirement looks neat, and what other records is it writing into a PDS?

funny you mention length because Head On/Pill is already a 16m commitment even before the live jamming started 😆 I do love those sprawling live vehicles, I’m most interested in hearing how the live performances progress over time. Although I’ll be skipping to FoVII the moment it is out on Bandcamp!

Looks like Live at Levitation ‘14 is the earliest show on the band’s official bootlegger Bandcamp, so I’ll be starting there!

Motor Spirit got the engine going. PDA is the latest stop in my journey though kglw’s discography, I hadn’t listened to the albums chronologically before. After Alien Metal, I’ll be moving into the bootlegs.

Thanks to @aturi.to's waypoints package, it was very easy to get a list of clients to display in this popover that I now have on my website. Instead of opening the composer only in Bluesky, you can now click to write a message in an app of your choosing!

Just totally mind blown seeing what folks are doing with Astra, as well as first hand. Some genuinely good starting points for website designs, much better than I’ve seen previous models do. and folks are creating 3D games with it now?! I gotta try that.

Funny that I've never lived in SF, LA, or Denver, the lighter red stretching into northern Missouri _does_ cover my origin, however.

I meant a non-Bluesky microblogging social app in particular (Blacksky, Mu, etc). However it could also be any other social app (incl non-atproto)! This would likely be a free-text field so I don’t have to manage a growing list of social apps. Is there a particular app you had in mind?

Jacob Zweifel @jzweifel.dev · 03/09/2026
Thanks for checking it out and for the suggestions y’all! I also agree that it would be great to be less Bluesky specific. I’ll look into adding some more customization around this aspect, such as changing what the link says and jumping to an account page on a social app of your choosing!

It already works on pizza, so naturally it would work in a calzone. I might go the alt-sauce route though, chicken-jalapeño-pineapple-bbq sauce could be quite nice

“I had a change in opinion and I need to delete now” “Call your PDS, rpc-delete-now” meh it’s a stretch, but that’s where my head went

another day, another session of Claude apologizing for slipping into British spellings I do prefer grey over gray though

A slightly more interesting day today: At work, we're doing an AWS workshop, Agentic Design Patterns with Claude. I've already been pretty deep with Claude for a while now, but hopefully learn something new. and then halfway through the day, off to a new endodontist! Not looking forward to that.

Now have a sensible landing page. It will tell you a little bit about what Mooring is, and allow you to preview exactly what your site would look like before even logging in. Check it out! mooring.page

Your site is already written.
Mooring gathers your Bluesky profile, your writing, and your career into a professional site at your own domain.

will stancil is engaging with the Nuclear Discourse Button. i of course said this almost a year ago, and this website was absolutely _not_ ready for the take back then. let's see how it goes now. i think he is right though. gleefully using the word "clanker" makes you a bad person, imo.
But when you start to treat an LLM with cruelty, the only thing you're really revealing is what you have in your heart, not whether the machine has one. And if agents are going to be showing up in more and more spaces on our lives, developing slurs that are based on real slurs used for real humans to describe them doesn't seem like the way to go. Terms like "clanker" and "wireback" follow the exact linguistic patterns used to dehumanize actual people. Practicing this language - even toward AI - normalizes the social patterns that enable cruelty toward humans.

A round of polish, and jzweifel.dev is looking nicer :) You can preview what the site might look like for you (or any handle!) without logging in. Type in eg mooring.page/s/jcsaltereg... to try. Planning on some more polish on the sites, then working on the management side and landing page.

I’ve been letting the machine run on a few projects for a little while now, and I haven’t been as deep in the code. So I decided to tackle a new project, just doing some data analysis over the firehose and historical data, and learning Gleam and BEAM. First time, and seems neat so far!

Has anyone done “discord presence detection, but as a standalone atmosphere app” yet? Thinking of like a minimal desktop daemon that could run standalone or plugin to eg. a future Roomy desktop app, and publishes out records when you are currently playing something, accumulates your playtime, etc.

A click-to-deploy PDS would be super cool 👀

Jacob Zweifel @jzweifel.dev · 21/08/2026
It’s very MVP, but it works by pulling Bluesky, sifa.id, standard.site, and other records out of my PDS and rendering them out into a personal site kind of experience. It also allows for creating more pages, like an about page. Sign in with OAuth and your atmosphere account, try it at mooring.page.

As more of a backend guy, it’s been cool having the robots spin up a quick and dirty UI on whatever I’m building. However I feel like I’m missing an opportunity to level up my own design skills. Any recommendations on where to start? I was thinking I’d boot up Figma and start moving boxes around.

Hello world! New account, but not new to Bluesky. I continue to be excited to see everything you wonderful people are building. Protocol-minded folks will easily find my other account; let’s keep it our secret for now. 🤫 Can’t wait to share some of what I’ve been building and connect with y’all!
