I've had this idea for a while, but what if you built a desktop UI on top of atproto data... and what if that UI looked cyberpunk AF?

Here's a first look at Aether OS, a desktop-like interface with system and lexicon apps powered by your data.

Wow @ipshipyard.com you updated ipfs.io and whilst I applaud the transition to ipfs.tech it seems strange to me that there is no hint of a link to IPFS by way of a logo or colour scheme. It looks to me a little like a domain squatter site…

The really cool thing about this service is that if Bluesky the company were to shut every one of our servers down hard, this can still migrate your account to a new pds and keep going. Really awesome stuff for decentralization
The internet was meant to be free - your identity shouldn’t be locked behind a login screen.

Introducing bsky.storage 🐔🤝🦋

Now you can back up your Bluesky data hourly + recover your account if Bluesky ever goes dark. Simple, free, & fully in your control.

this is a cool project!

in addition to automating offsite repo+blob backups, it has a web UI for registering PLC recovery keys (which you keep in a p/w manager, not remote service), and doing the adversarial PLC recovery process (eg, if your "old" PDS is unavailable)

solid step for own-your-data

🌍 Decentralized data doesn’t mean giving up on mutability. Storacha is breaking boundaries with UCANs & Merkle Clocks to solve the big challenges: multi-writer updates, ordering events, & staying in sync.
