You are your environment

Chatted with an OG Internet guy at the @atproto.boston meetup today.

Asked him about the last time he saw so much community excitement and engagement for a protocol.

He said http and html.

it has been great working with bunny.net! I recommend them often, and would build on their CDN again in a heartbeat

🧵ICYMI: BlueSky was burning cash on CDN costs. Billions of requests per month. Big companies wouldn't budge on pricing.

Then they found a way to ship video to millions without going broke!

Great protocol updates from team @bsky.app with a killer shoutout to @germnetwork.com in the Private Data section.

docs.bsky.app/blog/protoco...
Private Data We believe that group-private data is absolutely necessary for the long-term success of the protocol and the Atmosphere. Every day, we wish that we had this figured out and developed already. But as mentioned earlier, we believe that we need to land and mature the existing protocol around public broadcast data before we move on to the next big chunk of work. We continue to have internal discussions around private data. Paul shared some leaflets that give a sense of the approaches that we’re considering and the rubric by which we’re judging them. The AT Protocol Community is also coordinating a Private Data Working Group to explore some designs for how the system could work. In the meantime, if you’re building an Atmosphere app, please don’t let the lack of a private data protocol prevent you from building the features that you need to build. Our advice is to publish identities and public data through AT and store any private data that you need on your own server. The semantics of private data will likely look very similar to public data (CRUD operations over a key-value store of typed records, sorted by collection), so if you want to get ahead of the ball, model your data accordingly. For E2EE DMs, Germ has put together a lovely app built on MLS (Messaging Layer Security) with an AT integration that’s in beta.
