Just stumbled upon atprotoworld.com and I find their small #atproto logo cute.

Second night at that place, I just had to take this photo, when ceiling & logo colors match.

After exploring goat cli for quite a while, dropped all account’s original rotation keys!

So… Exactly for how long is this failure gonna hold? $ goat bsky prefs export \ | grep "birthDate" \ | awk '{print $1}' "birthDate":

BlueSky’s Android app’s block wall,
acting like I’ve no “birthDate” record:

“Age Assurance

It looks like you haven’t added your birthdate.

Tinkering with #revealjs & #mermaidjs, trying to choose between 2 approaches: - #pandoc to turn markdown into revealjs - or directly write html, css & javascript…

2 git history graphs side-by-side,
the right one having an extra highlighted commit,
with both having a root commit tag
and several commits on 3 branches main, dev & f

I wonder what proportion of BlueSky users know that with their ATProto account they have also access to a constantly growing set of services…

Staring at it for a few minutes, I was wondering this morning if it would turn into a snowball…

I only recently saw the neat graph at wikipedia for #atproto federation architecture.

An end-to-end visualization graph of
Bluesky & alternative data streams between:
- Bluesky Social mobile/web app & other clients
- user actions: posts, likes, follows, etc.
- Personal Data Servers
- relays & firehoses
- labelers & feed generators
- app views & custom feeds
- read views: threads of replies, like counts, etc.

I wanted to see also the full histories of all branches from my most active projects, between the months of March 2023 & 2025: rwx → parent project lsgm → dynamic grub menu spcd → ci / cd srmp → repos mirroring ftcp → conf profile cv → responsive resume #ffmpeg #git #gource #posix #python #shell

Impersonation problems occur with domain names and social platforms. I recommend exploring keyoxide.org Hostable free software for dynamic identity checking (real or anonymous) through ASP and/or OpenPGP profile. Mine for example… ASP: keyoxide.org/aspe:keyoxid... PGP: keyoxide.org/08EDA7006234...

I wanted to see how a gource render would look like with not 1 but many git repos rejiggered across 8 years… I had to merge the custom logs after manipulations for a unique identity, then tweak gource & ffmpeg settings to comply with bluesky’s video limits, but it looks neat! #ffmpeg #git #gource
