How can anyone expect a career politician who’s only passed one bill to actually drive change? As a friend of mine puts it best:
It’s like expecting your coasting EM to fix your XFN collab.
Does your EM keep saying, 'How can I support you?' Yes.
Do they actually unblock you? No.

Cole, a close friend I personally worked with before, is one of the smartest, hardest-working and most ethical individual I know. He voluntarily left his highly paid position at Jump Trading to join DOGE and I’m willing to bet every dollar that he will have a positive impact to the U.S Gov.

You know you can verify your domain, right? Why not use @marcmiller.libparl.ca

I'm watching some folks reverse engineer the xz backdoor, sharing some *preliminary* analysis with permission.

The hooked RSA_public_decrypt verifies a signature on the server's host key by a fixed Ed448 key, and then passes a payload to system().

It's RCE, not auth bypass, and gated/unreplayable.

That’s an very interesting point. The protocol seems superior than ActivityPub but it will all be meaningless if BlueSky remains invite only when everyone is already on Threads…

Hey folks - I’m Mike and I am a rendering programmer. I have always been fascinated with Computer Graphics and strive to understand why things look the way they do. Previously I have worked on Google’s AR Glasses (Iris) and unannounced AAA title at Eidos Montreal!

Hey Jake, what’s your take on the CNN town hall? Be honest.

No, because they are on completely different protocols (hence no way to federate with each other). However, I believe the new protocol developed by Bluesky is far superior.

How does the server federation work if lets say a node is down? Is there redundancy or is everything on that server lost?

That’s what I thought too, but if a node goes down what happens with all of the following? I assume there are some data associated with the node that the user is not on. @jay.bsky.team

How are these handled when an account is transferred between servers? What if a node goes down? Does that mean all the content is lost on that node?

Will the server federation be similar to mastodon where some content is hosted on each “server node” and “server node” federate with each other? Migrating account between server = copy the data pod? What if a node goes offline? I’m not a web dev, so apologies if these question seem ignorant :)

That’s just the protocol though, from what I see it’s not a server?

How are you guys designing server federation? Or will there only be only one ‘true universe’ that exist (i.e content mirrored on each instance) ? Do you guys plan to develop a open source reference implementation of a server for Bluesky?
