Distracted by all this atproto stuff and I’m supposed to be getting a local #meshtastic mqtt service running.
It’s close! Really just need to launch this thing on fly and point my bot node at it now.

litestream-vfs is exciting. Besides being FUSE-free, it hooks into SQLite at a far more solid point than the original Litestream, and has an amazing new power:

Absolute black magic.
After reading this I gave exe.dev a shot and the combination of cheap VMs, the HTTPS proxy with passkey auth and link sharing, and the built-in LLM agent is... incredible.
Like, I know how to use each of these things individually, but combining them feels like when I first learned to script things.

I didn’t plan to write software in the grocery store last night. I was tired and hungry, kids in tow. My long shopping list sat in a text message. I wished I could check items off as I found them.…

The amount of tooling out there around ATProto is amazing. Really going to have fun with all of this. pdsls.dev, goat, @wisp.place, all the stuff from @microcosm.blue. Too many things to dive into!
Starting with hosting my PDS. This is a fairly stable thing to do by now right?

Your annual reminder for parents giving their children electronic gifts tomorrow: make sure you have enough batteries, and if it runs on software, do them a solid and download those OS updates before they open the gift tomorrow. No kid wants 5 hours of software updates before they get to play

I tried the fediverse thing for a bit but I have to admit, atproto is much more compelling. Having a single place for all of my data across multiple services to live is a major piece of it. Domains as IDs too. Just a lot of design choices I like.
Time to stand up a PDS and start experimenting!

I so want this to succeed. You’re telling me I can create an app and the whole persistence layer is owned by the user, and creates this immutable web of data that can be riffed on by other apps even when the original app is gone?
I need to carve time out to build something in the atmosphere.

I feel for the maintainers here. It’s already such a thankless job. What a slap in the face this must have been.
Having met with both sides on the current RubyCentral/RubyGems situation, here's my take:
- RubyCentral have managed this exceptionally poorly in many ways including removing literally the most active member of the RubyGems organisation by mistake who has declined to return

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."
