It’s always fun to see the top blocked within the last 24 hours to learn about the days main character

I thought I knew what TPOT was, but apparently not. If dril is a part of TPOT, then what is TPOT?

How about minding your own business?

There’s no such thing as a “Bluesky instance.” There are multiple interchangeable components that, when combined, do everything a single Mastodon instance.

Yes, relays are expensive and load-bearing, but that’s not the whole story.

The Pentel Graphgear 1000 is great. I love how it retracts.

Paul Frazee, a member of the Bluesky team, often has to explain to non-technical people how to verify their account. This involves changing settings with their domain registrar.

If your business owns a domain, you can set your handle to that domain. This blog post explains how to do so.

If you change your handle, users who follow you will still follow you. If you migrate to a different PDS, your followers will still follow you.

The .bsky.social you often see at the end of Bluesky usernames is not like the @mastodon.social you often see at the end of Mastodon usernames.

On Bluesky, usernames have to be a domain. If you own your own domain, you can set your username to that domain, but if you don’t, you’ll usually be assigned one that ends in .bsky.social. In the following example, the New York Times sets their username to @nytimes.com, because they own nytimes.com.

.

Their data is still hosted on one of Bluesky’s PDSs, however.

A PDS is just a server that personal data, a Personal Data Server. Currently, the process of moving ones data off of Bluesky’s PDS and onto another is cumbersome, and the only users who have done so are technically inclined and self-hosting their own PDS. There are only about a thousand of them (according to the graph below), but hopefully there will be more once the process is streamlined.

Huh. Hexbear, the instance, gets its namesake from this photograph:

I wonder how the cryptocurrency ended up with the same name.
