How do you even know? Don't those both just generate static html?
It says "Powered by Hugo" at the bottom of the page.

#12unrelated probably, but it made me realize how I don't really see Hugo/Jekyll type websites anymore.
I see plenty of blogs generated from Markdown with tools like that.
Has something overtaken Hugo and Jekyll in that space?

Why was it decided not to build on any existing content-addressable networking system (IPFS or whatever)?

(Not implying that this was the wrong decision, it’s a genuine question.)
dan @danabra.mov · 23d
actually not sure i can answer this well. paging @bnewbold.net or maybe @why.bsky.team (who worked on IPFS btw)
dan @danabra.mov · 23d
my guess is that we’d want data hosting to be under direct control of the user (same as web hosting) rather than peer-to-peer, want instant deletion/edits at the source, need ability to move to a different host or take content down, need grouping into collections. not sure how much IPFS could adapt
dan @danabra.mov · 23d
we do use some pieces from IPFS through (aside from the actual peer to peer mechanism) bryan newbold @bnewbold.net · 4mo
you can basically ignore it, we don't use "IPFS" proper anywhere.
there are strong social connections, and we borrow some tech components like CIDs (flexible hash/digest syntax) and DAG-CBOR (more-deterministic subset of CBOR, good for signing+hashing)

yeah this is all accurate. bluesky remixed a lot of IPFS components and patterns in interesting ways, but the monolithic global IPFS network (with chatty DHT distribution) wouldn't make sense here, BS made an infinitely more efficient/performant distribution of bytes tailored to its use case.
Bumblefudge @bumblefudge.com · 1d
FWIW the IPFS foundation is working on making IPFS more modular and easily remixed for future BlueSkies, but it's a big task decomposing the monolith and reorienting the documentation and ergonomics...

As far as im concerned (and i led ipfs development for a number of years) we are using ipfs, just a specific streamlined implementation of it. All your repo data can be imported into an ipfs node and addressed via cid

We dont use libp2p because for a consumer mobile app we didnt want to futz with nat traversal and connectivity and the like, but its definitely possible to build a p2p version of bluesky

#14Ah this is super cool! I’ve been thinking about doing this with my website, but was going to leverage the whtwind lexicon, since my site is mostly a blog. But for the front page, and anything else, I may have wanted something else.
This is more of an unstructured approach, which is cool because it needs less specialized tooling. It has the disadvantage of being… well, just a blob. No semantic information there.
Re: This website is hosted on Bluesky
#15Appreciated Daniel reaching out to the team about this! Hosting blobs is one of those things that will inevitably go through iterations as we understand the abuse vectors more and more, but for now it's really fun to see this kind of usage in action. The PDS is meant to be a database host in the same sense that a webserver is a website host.

In what sense?

#17The CSP headers didn't used to be there, which I used to pop an alert(), way back. (at the time there was also a MIME whitelist, but that whitelist included image/svg+xml, which allows script execution)

#18Pretty awesome! Convenience link to the fascinating github issue linked at the bottom, featuring Bluesky celebrity pfrazee: https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/issues/523 I have a lot of hope for AT. I'm sure there's lots of smart people on HN that have done great things with the Fediverse, but this whole paradigm just seems more sustainable + realistic. Basically it gives us centralization by default, but with…
As far as sustainability goes I'm hoping for a better business model than "accept funds from Blockchain Capital" [0], some return on investment in mirroring the firehouse. I can muse, a Discord alternative where some users pay to host longer videos (current limit is 60sec [1]) or Patreon where a relay takes a cut in exchange for managing access/decryption keys, or Bandcamp or some other kind of social marketplace - as it is theres no reason I couldn't do this, it is an open platform after all.

I just use mkdocs for everything.

Footer. also Jekyll/Hugo sites use generator so you can mostly find it in the meta generator tag. Next.js sites are also a super easy find like this.
You can trivially remove it e.g. `disableHugoGeneratorInject = true` in `config.toml`.
