Okay sorry I’m old, I’m slow to catch on. ATProto *really* gives me the opportunity to hit reset on my own social / trust graph and control it going forward. Damn.

NP Wes. What a fun and informative night. Man I love @z-space.ca and the @atmosphere.community

And @hadsie.com presenting Checkmate, a chess app built completely on protocol. All your moves are stores in your PDS, the game can be followed publicly.

And @djpardis.com presenting local-first cueport.app DJ app!

Yes, sometimes the clothing does make the man.

The only way to get employed as an AI engineer consultant/lead is to be unemployed long enough first, so you can catch up, keep up, prototype, evaluate and integrate 9-5. And then also tie it back to your previous tech life. Barely anyone can claim more than 12 months live experience.

Fred again.. - Rooftop Live (Arun’s Roof, London)

Any other #VWFC fans finding Boro highlights in YouTube feeds? So great to see Seba keep getting better over course of last two seasons, then World Cup and now hitting ground running in the Championship. Espanyol earlier in the week, then a great header assist for Carabao Cup win against Wrexham.

Lol, I was having a video call with a fellow engineering nerd friend, DDIA came up and he pulled v2 off his bookshelf. I couldn't believe it. Thicker than the Bible!

Kind of the anti-thesis of let's sit down and read these docs, I know. The temptation is too real and it also generates really useful NotebookLM slidedecks and infographs, sigh. Hit me up if you want to see any. Otherwise I applaud people who RTFM.

Looking forward to it. TBH I used AI to create a knowledgebase file of DDIA v1. I also crawled all of docs.atproto.com, happyview docs and that great new BlackSky ATProto tutorial and turned those into a singular ATProto kb markdown file for agent consumption. I use it now to seed ATProto projects.

You’re probably aware already but he just published 2nd edition and its a GAZILLION pages thick. “Reading data-intensive technical nomes” should be its own thing, lol. I was a bit disappointed he didnt give a 2nd edition update for his @localfirstconf.com plenary. Post your findings!

Was just trimming down my DigitalOcean VPS farm in favour of EU sovereign OVH servers but then this..nicely played DO.

Thanks. Yeah sorry, got a little bit ahead of myself and posted website mid-repo move. Now focused on C2PA implementation and evaluating from security perspective what should live in FOSS code. tl;dr working on it.

peterVG @vangarderen.net · 06/08/2026

Let's work on that. Use this pic as a solarpunk plot prompt where anarchotechnologists meet back 20 years into the future after the earth is at peace, its resources are distributed fairly and every sentient being has full freedom and agency.

AIP structure | Documentation (Archivematica 1.18.0) | Archivematica: open-source digital preservation system

100% - Digital Archivists have been working on this (future/vendor-proof data packaging). We have standards. I designed this spec 2 decades ago: archivematica.org/en/docs/arch... In wide use by memory institutions worldwide. As per @justinsimpson.bsky.social software is cheap now, data is the relay.

archivematica.org

Archivematica: open-source digital preservation system

A unified layer for your organization's data.

See habitat.network for answers. What I heard: agency/ownership for organizations over data created in heterogeneous application stacks, including platform and auth config portability, with organization-based focus on data stewardship/control (eg. Organization Data Stores inspired by ATProto PDS).

Also, FYI, this is how orcas are made. I know, I live in BC.

Cost of European conferences and family trip: not cheap Cost of fresh #Dwebcamp and #LocalFirst stickers for notebook: priceless
