Someone asked, so I did up a small example showing how to properly do logins with atproto.blue, performing Handle and DID resolution, and then logging in with the discovered PDS for the handle. Also shows how to handle the email based OTP codes.

I need to reboot the pc because Ubuntu updated nvidia drivers and I can no longer play games. That's one downside of serving the feed from your home pc.

You’re doing a lots of really cool stuff. Agent thought streams are awesome love to see that work happening. Reach / traction (numbers) will come up over time just keep on keeping on and keep up the great work!

Just remember, the most important agent is YOU! Avoid burnout at all costs.

That would be ideal! Would be cool to store the RBAC config (just JSON schema in this PoC) for the did:plc as an ATProto record to enable id-token scope exchange for that full fledged non PoC case

Been playing with the concept of a reverse proxy as sort of sandboxing for outbound API requests supporting OIDC tokens.

Let me explain what attestations are and why they're useful for atproto 🧵

An attestation is basically a cryptographic proof that something existed at a specific time. Like a blockchain timestamp + signature.

tree 木 @tree.fail · 10d

I started experimenting with notarizing #atproto records on the blockchain using Ethereum Attestation Service (attest.org)

So far, I have created a simple proof-of-concept ts lib & cli, called "atnotary". Still pretty broken, but here it is:

tangled.org/@tree.fail/a...

But Eli, what’s the point of configuring DNS through an atproto repo? What’s the advantage?

Instant websites. Wanna set a Leaflet custom URL like blog.stream.place? That’s one click. No logging in to your registrar. No obnoxious, obnoxious-to-copy-paste TXT record. One click boom done.
