you think having 3 repositories and NixOS involved in running a static website is ridiculous? Well, no, you are ridiculous!

Do I know anyone experienced in self-hosting Trino? We are migrating from Athena to self hosted Trino at work. If I know someone in this space who would be up to chat let me know.

We are currently at ~1400 vCPU & 2800 GB of RAM for the cluster, to give an idea of scale.

I've gotten this question from a lot of #GameDev:

"How can I, a game developer, make use of ATProto in my games?"

So I wrote an article to address my work in a way that makes more sense for game developers, especially those that don't know (or care) about ATProto.
Building the Future of Games on ATProto | Birbhouse Games
Game platforms hold too much power over developers. We want to change that by decentralizing games with ATProto — devs own their data, players own their progress, and no payment processor can take it ...

Well, now I started building my own solution for this, gathering data from the GitLab API into TimescaleDB which we can then query from Grafana.
Anyone I know using self hosted Gitlab? How do you monitor pipelines performance? The build in analytics suck and I can't find a good solution. The api seems to have all the data so it shouldn't be that hard but maybe I am missing something

I found this youtube channel where a bunch of students document how they are building a 3d printing startup (open-source) and it's so cool - they are even from the city where studied myself. Beware, the videos are a mix of German and English.

@pfrazee.com Saw Streamplace added to Live Now. Good move.
Bluecast (bluecast.app) is also built on ATmosphere, copyright-cleared, Japanese-developed. Worth considering for the next round.

Needed to spin up a k3s cluster for testing and on NixOS that's literally just

services.k3s = {
enable = true;
};

NixOS + nixos-anywhere + hetzner is now goto for any test infrastructure I need to spin up

OTA update rolling out today.

love what @iame.li's building. when you stream there, your LIVE status on Bluesky is auto-updated.

very cool demonstration of how Atmosphere apps can interconnect and benefit each other.

It's 2026 and I just spent 3 hours trying to install some python CLI. I did not succeed.

Any #nix folks now why the magic-nix-cache-action might take so long for me?

I spend basically all my CI time on it now but it also varies a lot, sometimes it takes 4 minutes, sometimes 17
