This is a great example of the evolution of #NATSio implementations, from simple stateless use to JetStream persistence and work queues.
Thank you @systeminit.com for trusting NATS and Synadia 🥰

In our latest blog post, @fnichol.com talks about the usage of NATS in our system here at System Initiative and how we used @synadia.bsky.social to help us build out our production NATS cluster!

Wife got a Cricut maker machine, and wow its the walliest walled garden imaginable.
If you make a design in its tool the only way to get it out is via screenshots of each layer and using Inkscape to trace the layers to SVG
The Iron only works if you activate it in the app etc. Wow.

You can append "/rss" to any #Bluesky profile url to get an #RSS feed of that user.
For example, if I do this with my friend @mentat.za.net 's bluesky url, I get bsky.app/profile/ment... - this will forward to bsky.app/profile/did:... which I can subscribe to using any RSS feed reader!

Made a modular workbench for our RC cars.
Magnetic base to keep things from rolling around.
Adjustable height by having different length mid section support.
Modular vehicle base that can support different cars with different platforms that rotates with a click-in-place system.

This kept me from using Bluesky for a long time. You can't change this on the default client, but I know that Skeets has a setting for loading new skeets above that should give you the behaviour your after. I'm really hoping this comes to more clients soon.

There has been a bunch of faff about Puppet licensing - essentially a "soft" relicensing of code and restricting access to built binaries etc www.puppet.com/blog/open-so...
Our Plans for Open Source Puppet in 2025 | Puppet by Perforce
In early 2025, Puppet will ship new binaries & packages developed by our team to a private repository. Read on for details & insight on this important change.
