The purpose of a ruthlessly efficient economy is to build a world where we can afford to be gracefully inefficient with each other.
I like what @wisp.place is doing and I'm looking forward to it becoming more of a protocol. Publishing a static website on PDS definitely makes sense. If everyone could choose their own "hosting-server", it would be even stronger.

The topic of governance is a big one. And it will only get bigger as our dependence on open-source increases.

Open-source means freedom. But will people have enough responsibility?

Started a topic on the #atproto community discourse about PLC abuse and filtering for mirrors.

Running a mirror? It would be great to hear from you! It will help to inform the evolution of the PLC as we look to improve this core part of the network

PLC Filtering for Mirrors - guidelines, rulesets, and experiences
My experience was checking on the disk usage of my machine and noticing the PLC database had doubled in size (July ‘25 timeframe). I did some digging and discovered around half the PLC operations were...

This great interactive introduction from @samwho.dev reminds me how incredibly slow Zen (Firefox) is compared to Chrome. In this case almost twice fast 😔

plcbundle is intentionally designed to make the specification of bundle formats and their creation as simple as possible.

If you want to experiment with LLMs, this is an ideal starting point for your hobby project. I am extremely curious about others' implementations!

I think plcbundle has its place in the ecosystem. It's a middle ground that isn't meant to replace high-performance resolvers like Allegedly, but to provide a more general tool with different trade-offs.

I'm trying to implement DID resolving into plcbundle and it works better than I expected. With a ~2GB binary index, I'm getting an average of 10-15/ms per document (cold over http). I think it could be reduced to 3-5ms

PLC instances ( plc.directory ):

plc.wtf
allegedly.wallera.computer
plc.parakeet.at

Do you know any others?

What is an acceptable response time (in ms) of PLC resolution for you? (assuming a local PLC server)

We're making the plc.directory more transparent and accessible! Its happening! 💪

There are already 5 public instances of plcbundle running, providing a complete and *verifiable* copy of the directory to anyone.

Revamped labels search
It's now a standalone page accessible from the header menu
You will also find a shortcut when looking at a labeler's repository in the dropdown menu

IETF gave us the open internet. But consensus has gravity, and gravity pulls toward power.

Here is my short thought on the hidden dynamics of standardization.
A Note on Standards and Capture
Standards gave us interoperability. Autonomy gives us innovation. A short reflection on using both tools wisely to build the future we want.

Some revolutions succeed precisely because they refuse to be standardized.
If Bitcoin went through IETF:

• Central banks would have participated in the working group

• Payment processors (Visa, Mastercard) would have "helped" design it

• Financial regulators would have demanded "compliance features"

• Result: Bitcoin would have become PayPal 2.0
