So I somehow blew through my free tier deno deploy credits and that is where I was hosting the did.json for this did:web account... 💀 (I moved it back to my homelab via CF tunnels).

Testing my nix code...
Here is alt text for the image: A screenshot of a terminal window displaying the output of a build and test script. The log is divided into sections, including "SECTION 3: Critical Issue Fixes" and "SECTION 4: Rust Packages (Workspace Caching)". The output shows a series of tests passing, with build times listed in seconds for Rust packages like "microcosm-constellation", "microcosm-spacedust", and "smokesignal-events-quickdid".

@whey.party I think I was able to build red-dwarf in nix
A fluffy, long-haired orange cat with green eyes lies in a 'loaf' pose on a grey textured blanket, looking directly at the camera. Next to the cat stands a single olive-green high-top boot. Web UI Description This is a screenshot of a web application called "Red Dwarf," a third-party Bluesky client, running in a browser on http://localhost:3000. The interface uses a dark theme (dark grey/black backgrounds with white and red text) and is organized into a three-column layout. Left Column (Navigation): This column contains the "Red Dwarf" logo and name, followed by a navigation menu with links for "Home" (which is currently selected), "Explore," "Notifications," "# Feeds," "Profile," and "Settings." Below the menu is a "Post" button. Center Column (Main Feed): This is the main content area, titled "Home." It displays a single post from a user named "Ginger Cat Dusty" (@gingercatdusty.bsky.social). The post, made 30 minutes ago, contains text ("From my catto point of view hoomom's new boots are butt ugly...") and the cat image described above. Below the image are engagement icons for replies (1), reposts (0), and likes (20). Right Column (Sidebar/Login): This column features an "Import..." search bar at the top. Below it is a login form with two tabs: "OAuth" and "Password." The "Password" tab is selected, showing an input field for an "AT Handle" and a "Log in" button. Text below the form reads, "Red Dwarf is a Bluesky client that does not rely on any Bluesky API App."

If anyone is bored: try to use my NUR to either build a package or run one of the services defined: github.com/atproto-nix/... the big-refactor branch has more stuff added).

And if something breaks let me know, currently struggling with JavaScript projects + vite + nix 🥀
GitHub - atproto-nix/nur at big-refactor

@overby.me github.com/atproto-nix/...

I haven't done too much testing besides getting most of it to build but there's a lot of packages and services in this branch.

I still need to fix my tangled setup but the CI is configured for github.

I've had to fix so many sha hashes... 💀

I technically have bindings for stream.place in a branch of my nix user repo but haven't tested it / I haven't actually tried to selfhost streamplace before. If it ends up working it will probably be at streamplace.snek.cc / sp.snek.cc or maybe stream.place.snek.cc if I'm feeling silly.
iame.li Eli Mallon @iame.li · Oct 24
this stinks actually because i proactively want to encourage people
to run streamplace alongside their PDS. and most people dont have multiple domains that they can just swap in.

one more reason to have streamplace BE a PDS i guess
stellz.club stellz:web @stellz.club · Jul 13
is there some issue with doing Oauth to a PDS that's on the same root domain as your app?
my pds is pds.stellz.club & my app is wallet-link.stellz.club, i get this error in the Oauth error screen when i try to login:

"Forbidden sec-fetch-site header 'same-site' (expected cross-site,none)"

@mackuba.eu I'm tinkering with packaging your lycan project for nix/nixos and next probably skythread. 👷‍♂️🚧

I will put live demos at .snek.cc

(pending how much storage they need :P )

Hey just a gentle reminder to be careful about what you do online, especially on public protocols like AT.

Blocks are public & all your posts are discoverable via workarounds. Smoke signal events are public. Use of block lists are public and discoverable. IIRC mutes are not public/at client level.

@juli.ee I think I'm doing something wrong w/ my selfhosted version of @pdsls.dev

pdsls.snek.cc/at://did:plc...

trying to directly link to something breaks but otherwise it's fine

my Caddy config is inside this nix file (apologies in advance)

For some reason I can't push to tangled right now but here is the entire nixos config for my snek.cc server:
github.com/atproto-nix/...

including sops-nix for secret management for the PDS

@tangled.org when I try to push to a new repo and using a freshly made ssh key I get the error:

git push origin main
error: src refspec main does not match any
error: failed to push some refs to 'tangled.sh:atproto-nix.org/nixos'

this is on knot1 btw
January 8, 2026 at 9:17 PM
@bad-example.com I think you had some sort of PDS tester script? I think there needs to be some kind of web app where you input a PDS and it checks if it is configured correctly/suggests how to fix.

pds.snek.cc

was able to migrate my test account from
selfhosted.social -> pds.snek.cc using pdsmoover.com

but I think I'm missing some environment variable for my pds (maybe something to do w/ AppView?) b/c it's being very glitchy when I try to log into a client with the @snek.cc account 🤔

spacedust from @microcosm.blue:

@upcloud.com random suggestion, some VPS providers have a way so that people can directly sponsor funding a server instead of trusting the admin with the money. There’s a special link the account holder can generate.

Might be cool for creators who do stuff like host game servers or random services.
