honestly no idea. it was mostly writing python to put everything together i told it to look at my notes (which live on disk but also at notes.zzstoatzz.io) and go wild. used a bunch of ffmpeg i’m sure. i can pull up the session and ask if you want!

you can read more on standard.site about the lexicons and what they're meant for, but typically a "publication" is just a parent ref for many documents and then a "document" is like a particular blog whose record may have the literal text of the blog or not

+1 it would be deeply exciting to see collab between atproto community and bsky pbc on marketing campaigns that legibly speak to user autonomy / agency but meaningfully escape the (wonderful but niche) nerdsphere. dunno if anything already wip on that

in case you were wondering, this is mostly accurate but the Protection section is fake news. there’s no such guard

beer darts
Beer darts is an outdoor drinking game where players sit about 10 feet apart and take turns throwing steel-tip darts at each other’s unopened, slightly shaken aluminum beverage cans.
Setup
• Seating: Two players or teams sit facing each other, roughly 8 to 12 feet apart (10 feet is standard).
• Protection: Place a piece of cardboard, a plastic guard, or a specialized backboard in front of each player's legs or feet to block stray throws.
• Cans: Each player places a fresh, full, unopened canned beverage (beer or seltzer) on the ground or in a holder right in front of them.
Rules and Gameplay
• Throwing: Players remain seated while throwing their darts at the opponent's can.
• Hits and Punctures: If a dart hits and punctures the opponent's can, the owner of the can must drink (sip or chug) until the leaking stops, or down to the level of the puncture hole.
• Top Tab Hits: If a dart hits right near the top tab or spout, the owner usually has to finish the entire remaining beverage.
• Dinks: A "dink" (hitting the can without puncturing it) typically results in a small 1 oz sip penalty.

medical records on PDS gist.github.com/iameli/77dac...

The Gist of Eli:

# Chat's private data use cases:

- Private Bluesky accounts
- Shooting the shit
- Different circles/audiences
- Streamplace mods talking shop in a non-totally-public setting
- Only trusting certain apps to handle certain data
- Nate's medical records
- Fuckin' everything?
- What would we NOT want on atproto even if very good private/permissioned data ships?
- E2EE chats?

# Why on-protocol:

- Consistent Identity
- Prevent lock-in on appview layer (tyrannical Mastodon admin problem)
- Arguably "billionaire-proof" is atproto's raison d'etre
- Data handling norms

# atproto-takes.social

- Forum run by Eli
- Uses atproto private data
- "At this point, users expect to be able to search within a group, get notifications, see aggregate views (“trending in this community”), have sensible moderation tooling, get recommendations, and more. All of these features require backend services to read, process, and index the data."
- "Authorize atproto-takes.social to read/write your social.atproto-takes.bad-opinion records?"
- Then: I go evil and start banning you all for your bad opinions
- Someone forks to atproto-takes-fork-without-eli.social (like a blacksky/witchsky/deer fork)
- EVERY USER has to log in to that to get back to where we were

# Alternatives to private data

- Self-destructing data {$expiresAt: "2026-02-13T18:59:20.367Z"}
- If you're trusting the same consumer with private data, what's the difference?
- Maybe "JSON Gap" data where the app just doesn't show the data unless you're allowed
