This might be my favorite JWST image from the nearby Universe so far. You’re seeing the late stages of evolution of a star like the Sun, after it’s exhausted its nuclear fuel. This is a transient phase where it’s ejected its outer gas layers, which are then irradiated by the hot stellar remnant.

is there open code on how you get this data? :)

Independent implementation of a "relay" - and it's running! Even more progress toward practical decentralization.

in early 2000s microsoft ceo said open source was “cancer”. now open source is common sense

i wonder how long it’ll take for open social to become common sense

genuinely one of top features of bluesky is lack of that stupid pill on top that shows every time you open the app

the feed is meant to be scrolled down without any distractions

Bluesky literally feels like the safest social media platform right now, this algorithm is everything 🙏

jazz <> neon postgres should be flawless instant 2 way sync

this would let me write into my jazz state from any language too like go which is super cool

going to set this up soon

jazz <> neon postgres <> edgedb

first two should be easy to do 2 way as postgres has LISTEN

edgedb only has polling for now

but above is dreamy setup, jazz is distributed state for apps

neon for proper sql

and edgedb for read only queries with its nice query language

tailscale/cmd/lopower at lp · tailscale/tailscale The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA. - tailscale/tailscale

Some time back I rigged up a WireGuard-to-Tailscale proxy but it was a Rube Goldberg machine and fell apart and was hard to run.

This weekend Maisem Ali (github @maisem) and I "polished" it up into a standalone Go binary:

github.com/tailscale/ta...

Still rough, but fun. Good weekend distraction.

writing go is my happy place

a sync engine with go would be sick, I wonder if I can do a node-jazz wrapper

I am surprised you can’t long press on icons for extra actions in this app

such an easy win to give users more things without cluttering up ui

in X for example one tap share is X share and long press is iOS native share

I want to do a build of app where long pressing like is bookmark

anyone tried to get custom build of @bsky.app iOS running?

I want to bolt on bookmarks as a ‘second like’ but wonder if I can even put bluesky app on my phone from github or i need some special things

if the data is distributed, how do pieces of data (which may live on different servers) refer to each other? the answer is the same as on the web — using links!

at://<your identity>/<record type>/<record key>

this is how a “like” by one person refers to a “post” by another person — it links to it

a tiered public like is already super useful signal

ok, let's break it down.

at the core of atproto is the data. it lives own your own computer (or someone hosts it for you). think of it as a hard drive with JSON files on it

data is structured (i.e. has a type), and can references other records on other peoples' computer with a URI like a hyperlink

if you can have domains as atproto handles, why not make the domains clickable in profiles 🤔

I wonder if I could make Bluesky work as a kind of generic feed into things (that is not just personal/company accounts that make posts)

As a separate tab/list in Bluesky client that follows this ‘feed’. One account can aggregate HN threads or articles or other things.

anyone know if @bsky.app plans to add bookmarks to its clients?

Bluesky Social media as it should be. Find your community among millions of users, unleash your creativity, and have some fun again.

I hope bsky.app adds same thing as x.com where I can go up and down between posts with `j` and `k` binds. `l` for like, `b` for bookmark

Black and white photo of a very fluffy tabby, sitting on a white mantle with its puffy tail wrapped around its feet. It looks obligingly at the camera as if it knows it's having its portrait taken.
