Migrated to my PDS this morning thanks to @baileytownsend.dev's pdsmoover.com. I was way more comfortable doing so after @bsky.app opened inbound migrations incase I change my mind later.

Now everything I post lives in a Raspberry Pi in my living room.
Just a thought, why are we calling it ATProto instead of ATP? Wouldn't that mean the web runs on HTTProto? TCProto/IProto?

I'm sorry but this has to be the funniest ad I've seen in my entire life, and on YouTube nonetheless

If you're posting as an official NJ Gov account, please update your handle to reflect that. It's super easy, will get you more exposure to constituents, and is the first step to being officially verified.

1. Navigate to Settings > Account > Handle.
2. Click "I have my own domain".

QT-ing so I remember I made this change this morning.

Interesting that api.bsky.app just points right to pop1. Wonder what case would have anything point to pop2 automatically.

Ping ms from 69-73ms w/pop1 to 12-13ms w/pop2. Let's see if I notice a difference anywhere.
Pro tip: PDS_BSKY_APP_VIEW_URL=https://api.pop2.bsky.app in your /pds/pds.env if you're on the better side of the Atlantic 😛
