My For You feed has once again devolved into mostly "is AI good or not" redundant angry arguments, so I've temporarily switched back to my Tailscale feed (see profile) which is all feel-good all the time because apparently Tailscale is uncontroversially good.
Okay, how long has he been saving that one
Carney says if middle powers like Canada don't act together, "they're not at the table, they're on the menu."
"When we only negotiate bilaterally w a hegemon we negotiate from weakness. We accept what's offered...this is not sovereignty. It's the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination..."

Well they made IRC for agents over Tailscale, so I guess we’ve reached that point in the robot takeover
Here the tool I built to have agents talk to each other: https://github.com/victorarias/agentzap
It’s super simple. Just install, init, run the server and ask agents to start a conversation. I used it over tailscale to have Claude on my Mac talk with Codex on a Linux VPS. (1/2)

New version of my ATProto/Bluesky OIDC provider. I've moved to a lovely new atlogin.net domain and it now contains a self-help form for setting up webfinger on your own domain so you can have your own domain for coworkers and/or friends to use in any app.

Whoops, I just made one yesterday. But it’s okay because it’s Debian based
oh no, I want to make a Linux distro

AI-driven sales outreach continues to be absolute garbage. Look, there was a 95%+ chance I was going to mark it as spam anyway. But if you don't even say wtf your company does, it's 100%. What's the point of brevity with no content?

Excuse me, I have been living in a cave and only just now found out there is an iOS App Store app called UTM SE that allows you to boot Debian in full GUI mode.

Tailscale is just so handy. The personal plan with up to 100 devices (!) is such a perfect tool for homelabs when you also want to include cloud instances or just access from your phone.

So the real question is, when this finds a home on a "real" domain name, what's a nice short one that captures the true essence of an ATProto login provider?
Today's toy: atlogin, an OIDC provider for the AT network, compatible with Tailscale custom OIDC.
Try this: login.tailscale.com and login as user "@at.apenwarr.ca". You'll join my test tailnet (ACL isolated from other users).

If people like the general idea, we could make this more serious, maybe eventually a "login with ATProto" button or something somewhere.

Yes. Let’s bring back running programs locally!
I want this next generation of software development tools to run on my own computer. Vim and Emacs helped democratize software development and made it accessible. We shouldn't allow this AI wave to take us backwards.
I really hope the open source community can keep pace.
