I didn't know threats of violence/lynching against individuals were ok on BlueSky...
Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945.
They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

So whatever happened to this idea that we were going to run out of IPv4 addresses? Seems like in 2024, nearly 2025, it's still pretty easy to get a new server with a fresh IPv4 address. How did that get fixed or sidestepped... anyone know?

Freebie for developers and designers #buildinginpublic ✌️

I made over 70 SVGs of squiggles, scribbles and... other stuff for you to use in your projects.

Customise them with over 200 pre-made palettes, and download as SVG when you're ready to use.

Oh, and they're totally free!

Just moved into new flat in Barcelona. "There's RJ45 ports in all the rooms, looks like this place is wired for internet!"

Reality: The contractor cut the fibre cable thinking "It's a Vodafone cable so doesn't matter". Also, the RJ45 ports have nothing behind! (They do have guide wires thank god!)

Going back to the archives with a particularly relevant post from a year ago.

So far, Bluesky has mostly avoided the traps of the attention economy, but can it to sustain that? Or is it doomed to suffer the same fate as Twitter once it reaches critical mass (now)?

What I love about programming: every time I get a little closer to getting the computer to do what I want, I get a little hit of dopamine that keeps me going/happy.

What I don't love: when it should work but doesn't because I made a dumb somewhere and it takes me 4h to get a tiny thing working...

Since that really is the vibe on a new network like BSky... is there a way to auto-follow-back people who follow me? Or at least follow everyone back with one click?

Ok, I found the Starter Packs. Useful. I like. blueskydirectory.com/starter-packs

Not sure how to get added to them... do I just tag the creators, like @joshuawood.net or @mijustin.bsky.social , and ask to be added if I feel I belong there? What's the Etiquette?
