Made a prototype. Passes the ESD Tester, but I don't trust it.

If y'all want to backup git repos, look into "git bundle" (built into git) This won't backup non-git data (issues, PRs / MRs, topics, etc), but it's better than nothing.

Sorry, but I'm not seeing the fix on v1.121. The Social App is still converting image uploads to JPGs and saving JPGs on download (regardless of the blob format). Also, the CDN sometimes produces larger WebP files than the original WebP blob.

Changed the format to make more sense.

I recommend making posts with images using an alternative client if image quality and/or dimensions are important for your content until this gets fixed.

Why don't more devices support DisplayPort Dual-mode? If HDMI licensing fees are a problem, wouldn't it make sense to slowly shift users away from the HDMI port.

I (unfortunately) can't switch to Linux because: - Linux doesn't have On-Demand Cloud Storage - Wine doesn't support WinTab or Windows Ink - Proton doesn't support some games I like (minor) - LibreOffice isn't as polished as MS Office (minor)

Windows has "Cloud Files API". Apple (macOS and iOS) has "File Provider". Android has "DocumentsProvider". Linux has nothing. I use "On-Demand Files" all the time (Personal NAS), so this is the main blocker from me using Linux as a daily driver

Timothy Cyrus @tcyr.us · 16/10/2025
You need the File Explorer to be aware of the Cloud Storage Provider to avoid unnecessary file reads (e.g indexing or file previews) GNOME has their own File Explorer (Nautilus) as well as a Google Drive Integration (GNOME Online Accounts), so that would probably be the best thing for a PoC

Timothy Cyrus @tcyr.us · 15/10/2025
Valid Question. It would probably be a freedesktop standard implemented via FUSE. This spec can then be implemented by Cloud Storage Providers (NextCloud, Google Drive, etc) as well as File Explorers (Nautilus, Dolphin, etc).

Timothy Cyrus @tcyr.us · 15/10/2025
Linux doesn't have a standard for Cloud Sync Engines (On-Demand Files), so I'm stuck with Windows (unless I decide to get a Mac)

Synology QuickConnect relies on Let's Encrypt for direct and regional wildcard certs, but the company isn't listed as an ISRG sponsor. It feels scummy to build a commercial product that depends on a nonprofit service like Let's Encrypt and not financially support it.

atproto aha moments: - you can host your data - it's just json - it's typed but any app dev can invent those types - records have URIs - records are signed so cacheable without trust - relay aggregates everyone’s events into a global stream - backends subscribe to relay and update local DBs
