Who owns it?

Cheaper than it is now! I think it was about $1100 at the time, definitely the most expensive part of the whole setup

I've also done a full network replica (all the data indexed in a postgres) on a raspberry pi (with an 8tb nvme attached via a hat). Its really not expensive to do . And if I wanted…

The default pds packaging takes care of SSL, but thats not a requirement, just something we try to make easy for users. Also at:// URIs are of the form at://DID/..., and your human…

people get so up in arms when you suggest there might be a limit on how many people they can follow.

fwiw, the Knuth quote is "premature optimizations are the root of all evil"

I tend to agree with this, thats why theres canonical URIs for atproto posts that are agnostic to the hosting provider. The format is at://DID/collection/recordKey. These are used …

It's possible, and we've talked about it, but it would take a good amount of work (as would any 'correct' solution), so we have punted on properly solving DMs for a bit. I know Mat…

The most straightforward way to fully use the network without trusting us at all would be to have your identity backed by a did:web, and run your own PDS. From there your posts wil…

"Kinda" and "Soon", the soon part is that interactions with the site are signed by a key thats usually held for you by your PDS (Personal Data Server), this month we are opening th…

happy to answer any questions people might have about custom feeds, the post linked above is me

While individual posts are not self-authenticating (largely because it makes deletion much more complicated) all of a users posts are in a merkle-tree that it itself self-authentic…

all modern server CPUs have intrinsics for sha256, it just doesnt matter CPU-wise

no this actually is moving every single user currently on the service into this setup. Everyone gets their own sqlite under the hood.

The incremental requests are verified if running through your own node as a side effect of loading the data

While I totally get where you’re coming from, its a bit of an unfair question, “how are you going to do the thing you are attempting to do??” Is hard to answer without just saying …

Hi, i'm the guy who built IPFS and Filecoin which are moderately large decentralized networks, and both me and Martin Kleppmann are technical advisors to the project. Additionally,…
