Dad, engineer, security dude. Over the top in all I do!

Last night Trump directed the Pentagon to start testing nukes again. If that happens, it’ll be the first time the US has detonated a nuke in more than 30 years.

Sooo, I built an NBA feed on @surf.social that grabs posts from Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon… plus podcasts, YouTube clips, and RSS drops. All in one place. Strictly hoop.

And, if you wanna check it out, you can pin a version of it here on Bluesky.

I guess decentralized social is kinda cool 😎.

…large public PDS in the style of Fedi instances aren’t much of a thing yet, although there are at least a few communities working on setting up one (e.g. Blacksky, Northsky, or Turtle Island). Blacksky specifically has opened up for migrations just last week and has now a few hundred real accounts.
My "Introduction to #ATProto" blog post that I've been working on for some time is ready 🙂 It goes through things like records, lexicons, DIDs, then PDS/AppView etc. and how it all works together. Let me know if anything is wrong!

More parts later, with the Fedi comparisons & misconceptions etc.

Some incredibly good news:

One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print.

In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast.

In short, it’s working.

So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.
