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?

Open source software is, at its heart, a utopian project. It’s an incredible public good. I feel so blessed that I got to build my career on tools that everyone can use and build on. It may not necessarily produce the best, or the most polished tooling, but on a long-enough time scale, open-source is the only tooling that will continue to exist, that won’t suffer from planned obsolescence, or vampiric business models. That you can rely on to still be there. As a parting note, I’d like to say that we need to build better structures for open source governance. That’s a tricky design problem! I don’t know how to solve it. We’ll have to experiment, and iterate, and figure it out. I have a few clues, though. Project governance needs to be accountable, and transparent. The best way, the only way, to achieve that is for project organizations to be democratic. Their leaderships must represent the interests of the people who use or depend on the tools we’re building.

It feels the same

Through my home connection (I have a similar ping to your instance/plcbundle, a difference of about 1ms, in your favor) I get very similar numbers ~62.5/did/s

Interesting! Creating a filtered bundles is one of the side quests I have around plcbundle. According to my basic rules, we can filter out at least 41.5 GB, which will bring raw export size to ~33 GB

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

Let's try PLC websockets right now! ⚡

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.

With the new bundle downloader, you can download the entire plc.directory data (~29GB) with one click in browser

Did you know that YAML is almost 25 years old?

Its specification is an interesting trip into history and a time when XML was the undisputed mainstream. The first drafts were quite similar to it.

So maybe nixery should be included in the spindle?

To be honest, I'd really like to see support @woodpecker-ci.org, it's a great CI and uses Docker, which works as expected :)

~27 seconds to dump PDS endpoints from the *whole* PLC directory - directly from plcbundle files (zstd+jsonl) using Bun

with 2700 MB/s i'm finally happy with the speed

I'm not sure I understand how Tailscale's ts.net works, but it seems to only affect the DNS layer?

Roughly 21% of active PDS are hidden behind Cloudflare IPs, so they are counted as US, even if they are physically in New Zealand. I'm already looking forward to estimating the location based on triangulation of http server response speed.

Yeah.. Both mentioned PDS are included but keik.info is hidden behind Cloudflare, so it's very hard to find out the real physical location.

Absolutely! ASN is already part of the database, so adding a filter and breakdown will be super easy.

Eurosky looks very German. Including lofty talks about democracy and blaming the US and others for keeping us from being innovative...

Let's bring Bluesky to Europe so we can properly regulate it in a European way and kill another innovation?
The Problem A handful of US giants control the world’s social media. Their algorithms enrage and addict. Illegal content and disinformation abounds. Their monopoly power strangles European innovation. They don’t pay their fair share of tax. Their owners mock European democracy and laws. Social media is critical infrastructure, and a vital piece of the European tech sovereignty agenda. We need to regain structural control over our information ecosystems.
