Yesterday I made the jump from a Bluesky mushroom PDS to my own self hosted PDS.
I had been meaning to do it for quite a while and had a whole plan in my head of testing it with an alt account for a while etc first but I thought fuck it, and just did it.

My 4 year old just said “i have 9 fingers” and why I asked he had 9 and not 10, he started to count them, starting at index 0.

Does a PDS expose any metrics for things like requests times etc?

Ever do some work on a side project, think you completed it and deployed it then months later spend ages debugging why it doesn’t work any more, only to find you never finished and deployed the work?
Just me that forgets things like that then.

TIL that Slack huddles have hold music when you’re the only one in the huddle.
1) it’s quite relaxing
2) stops me jumping out my skin when someone finally joins because I forget I’m in a huddle

Found a box with some of my old music CDs in the garage earlier this week, that I never bothered to open each time I moved.
Today I saw a portable CD player for £10 and now I’m excited about sitting down with some wired headphones and getting nostalgic.

That’s it, I’m storing my DID with my ATProto username and password in 1Password.
I thought I would have remembered it by now, but apparently not 😄

Yoooo I’ve been using Docker for over 10 years and today I just found out that when you do docker run …. It creates a new container every single time 🙈

You can host private repos on your own @tangled.org knot server. You just can’t have the nice Tangled UI for issues, pull requests etc 😏

According to the star gazing app I just downloaded, the big bright light in the sky is Jupiter and I just don’t know if I ever thought you could see those planets 🤔

If you use PDS Gatekeeper you will want to make this change manually to your /pds/composer.yaml instead of using pdsadmin update. Using pdsadmin update clears out your current compose with the one from the PDS repo. Should be a oneliner change
