I’ve bought a FriendlyELEC NanoPi Zero2, and I’m going to try and get an #atproto PDS running on it with GoKrazy.
If I can get that far, I’ll get UPnP working to punch holes out automatically, and maybe I’ll get a tangled Knot on there too.

#atprotoideaI just realised that maybe we can do this today?
Can tag facets have a zero-length index?
A Bluesky client could add your current persona’s tag facets to the start of your post with byteStart = byteEnd = 0.

Yes! Though I’d love something wider: persistent context tagging.
I live in London, so (if I’m comfy with sharing that) I set my default context to “London”. I’d also add “software”. Like persistent hidden hashtags.
When I travel, visit an event, etc — I can just override for a while.

In the small country of Norway (5.5M) there are 300,000 people registered on Bluesky as of last year.
Yet I have no way of seeing what’s going on with these 300k people because I work internationally and have my app set to English.
I want a locality toggle in Discover.

Is it just me, or does clicking a link in GitHub no longer, like, actually signal change any more?
I’ve a 1Gb/s, 2ms ping net connection, and navigating appears to take 1-2 seconds, with only a (very missable) little blue bar progressing across the top.
Even on a very slow link this is avoidable.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Hello #atproto! I’m scratching an itch with my side-project at the moment.
I’m building a simple card/board game lexicon & platform that can operate entirely without a central server. (Mental Poker FTW!)
I’m taking it slow, cos $dayJobs are busy, but I’m not far from a Tic-Tac-Toe demo.

"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.

I think the “Logi Options+” app that ships with the keyboard I use at work is failing to load because Cloudflare is down?

Hey #ATProtoDev, what's the key indicator for lexicon parser code that a string's value has extra context available by resolving it as an NSID?
Is it the presence of the `knownValues` field on the lexicon? (ie. must values in a `"type": "string", "knownValues": []` field always be NSIDs?)

Game devs post a record for each achievement, and your game links to one when you achieve it (with a game-provided cryptographic signature!)

Is there a custom nixpkg registry I can use to get wisp-cli in my tangled workflow? (tangled.org/@tangled.org...)
I can `curl` and `chmod`, as your guide shows, but that seems like it may be fragile?

"Accountable" lets you state public intentions ("I will go for a run this week"), then make assertions about them ("I went for a run", "I got ill, so won't be running").
