I mentioned a few days ago how my site content is now mostly stored in my PDS. I wrote a leaflet going a little more into detail on my setup.

Was thinking the same thing. Like every other post is a killer, very technical article. I can't keep up.
So much good technical writing dropping today 👀🎁🔒

What are ways for ATProto apps to interop beyond sharing Lexicons?
after a fun chat with @laurenshof.online and @ronentk.me I finally made time to write up some more thoughts about interoperability in the atmosphere without needing to share lexicons!

Sharing lexicons is not the only way to leverage atproto’s interoperability

🧵 Could Bitchat have 5x the range and 100x the throughput for the same power expenditure? I explored how Wi-Fi Aware could improve the reliability and throughput of Bitchat and mobile ad-hoc networks in the absence of internet connectivity. #bitchat

For an ATProto application, what's the best strategy to see if your friends(mutuals) have the same collection in their PDS, like xyz.statusphere.status?
Does anyone know any projects doing this currently that I could check out?

switching your atproto app to an indie relay has had some downsides for most of this year, bc indies have been running different (newer) code than bsky.network, and there have been some bugs.
but the biggest bugs seem resolved now, and bsky.network will run the same newer code soon!

yay! thanks for reporting originally, and now confirming the fix.
this was a blocker to finally switching bsky.network over to the new relay implementation. we don't want to do that right before holidays, but it is pretty much ready to go in January

Using an age keyserver as a demo, this article demonstrates how to add a transparency log to a centralized service step-by-step.
We use Tessera for the tlog, VRFs for privacy, and the Witness Network. It all takes just 500 lines to integrate!
The result of years of work making tlogs accessible.

Building a Transparent Keyserver
We apply a transparency log to a centralized keyserver step-by-step, in less than 500 lines, with privacy protections, anti-poisoning, and witness cosigning.

I like the idea of cryptographic proofs of provenance, I'm not crazy about how confusing the implementation is.
