Hello #atproto people
Do you happen to have a #PDS that is open for other people to join? With or without invite code, allowing new accounts or just migrations...
Do you want to be added to my independent PDS list that people can check for a new PDS?
Just reply here or send a DM with your PDS info

A tiny scriptlet or web component will do the trick, see the "guestbook" on the altq.net page for inspiration -> github.com/fry69/altq.n...

Anyone can run a WordPress server, but few can maintain it and most will choose a managed solution for this reason (incl. "trusted" plugins through the hoster/service provider/etc).

Well, I think you cited WordPress as an example in another thread part.
That is fitting in a way, as click & install plugins without further maintenance will lead to similar problems. E.g. compromising PDS and accounts through highjacked or intentionally malicious plugins.

Also stability requirements are high with a PDS. This goes a bit counter to the idea of plugins.
There are not many PDS blacklisted yet, but I guess that will change when those start to become unreliable or malicious on significant scale.
That is probably when "DNSBLs" for PDS will become a thing.

A great idea If this does not lead to unfulfillable expectations.
While resource requirements for running a PDS are almost negligible, availability requirements are those of a web server (with graceful caching through relays/AppViews).
There is a reason why the mentioned status page exists.

OpenAI Codex was so nice to analyze the PDS source, come up with a proper/plausible algorithm for a CAR estimate and integrate it into the status script.

If I'd show the file size of the SQLite it would give a false impression IMHO.
The blob size is pretty much accurate.

The CAR file size is hard to estimate/compute as the data on disk is a SQLite file, which bloats everything with indexes and is obviously not compressed/optimized.
