Bluesky is definitely a place for science, research and citing papers. We hope it will continue to close the gap as rapidly as it has with legacy social media. Research, science and dank memes need many homes on the internet.

Bluesky provides one of the more inviting ones.

Happy New Year.

Here's a fun @standard.site prototype: Atom feeds for any publication!

e.g., @octet-stream.net's: geomys-atsite.exe.xyz/profile/octe...

Two very cool things:

1. this was ~550 lines of code github.com/FiloSottile/...

2. the feed URL stays the same even if the handle changes or moves PDS!

Zig leaving GitHub is a signal. But as our Field CTO Guillaume Moigneu explains in LeadDev, platform changes alone won't solve the deeper AI-driven challenges facing open source.

I have been wondering what it would take to use Atproto repositories as a more general database.

I think we could make them easier to query and update, without sacrificing their cryptographic properties. Another #atproto #atdev, with early food for thoughts 🧵

A follow up on this 14 million repositories number, since I received a few questions about it:

This is the number of repositories visible to the new relays that have been in production since May. An #atproto #atdev 🧵
5/ The total size on disk of 14 million repositories ended up at around 2 TB.

But why 14 million repositories while Bluesky supposedly has 41 million users? Well, the repositories enumerated by tap are the ones visible to the new relay implementation that has only been live since May.
Relay Updates for Sync v1.1 | Bluesky
We have an updated relay implementation which incorporates Sync v1.1 protocol changes, and are preparing to switch over the bsky.network relay operated by Bluesky. This post describes new infrastructure developers can start using today and describes our plan for completing the migration.

How big is the ATProto network?

Before heading out on vacation, I spent a few hours playing with tap, the new atproto synchronization tool brought to us by @dholms.at.

I wanted to see what it takes to build a full mirror of the ATProto network. I learned a few things, a 🧵

"Cloudflare’s critical Workers KV service went offline due to an outage of a 3rd party service that is a key dependency. As a result, certain Cloudflare products that rely on KV service to store and disseminate information are unavailable."

So which GCP service is Workers KV using under the hood?
