#Monkigras is not a conference - it's a communal hallucination where for two days we believe that talks can be creative, conversations can be individual and hustle-free, event food can be great, and corporations can help with inclusion.

I really enjoyed speaking with @reconditerose.bsky.social about @valkeyio.bsky.social project’s 9.0 release. She made complex systems feel clear and grounded - even explaining hash-field expiration with a gaming analogy about players in a lobby and how data expires over time. So cool. bit.ly/47lvAjB
Valkey 9.0 – open-source velocity and the pursuit of real-time resilience
The latest Valkey release refines how distributed systems scale and recover, introducing fine-grained expiration, atomic slot migration, and a roadmap toward true data durability.

Am enduringly fascinated by the way digital distribution channels still blur this indie boundary, and what it means for epistemic confidence, democracy, regulation etc - back in the day this was all called "user-generated content" and interesting to see the traditional market has still not caught up
The British Podcast Awards featured a strange “glitch” that everyone found amusing; but has interesting implications. Most of the winners were upstairs in the cheap balcony seats, meaning there was a few minutes’ delay on almost EVERY award as the winners went down the back stairs to the stage. >>
