I just use mkdocs for everything.
Have you found a decent bare bones starter theme? I've been using MkDocs Material, and I find the theme too complicated (HTML etc) - hoping to find a super simple one that looks decent - plain - and is a good base for theming / styling. Thanks & take care.
Not sure if that fits the bill for you, but I like it.
Anyone else feels like this will be abused for phishing and/or malware distribution?

Appreciated 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.
What's the license for the Bluesky data btw? Is it something free to mirror and train LLMs on?
Based on https://bsky.social/about/support/tos#user-content , I would answer yes. While it's not expressly called out (permitted or forbidden), my reading of the above would indicate that it's not forbidden per se, and probably permitted ("Modify or otherwise utilize User Content in any media. This includes reproducing, preparing derivative works, distributing, performing, and displaying your User Content."). I belie…

I just cannot imagine being this upset about someone else doing something they enjoyed that hurt no one. This is pure gatekeeping at its finest. It's a cool use of technology! Maybe this is Bobby's first API. Why the need to tell Bobby that you're too cool to appreciate it? As the opening of the OP points out, this has very little to do with ${new_propaganda_platform} as you so dismissively put it. They're self-hosti…

Phish could be this: $inane_marketing_trope ... Click here to Unsubscribe from Bluesky https://porcini.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.s... ... Redirects to bad site.
As long as content is authored by the administrator of the server, I don't see where there is a security issue. It's like if you point to your own Apache server in your own domain where you host a scam page and say there's a security issue with Apache because you could do that. Or are you saying that you can make this person's server serve third-party content?
Http: yes see OP
Email: not sure. Hopefully not. But spoofing happens.
This seems like one of the things that might be part of the references the bluesky team has made at time to introducing a subscription service - providing more space / bandwidth / higher quality video on your PDS seems like the type of hosting that could be offered at a premium tier.

What do you think about it? What I remember about that whole affair is that I'd really respected Jack for starting Bluesky, allowing it to be independent of Twitter (and Jay deserves a heaping of credit for pushing that!), and then losing that respect when he seemed to totally misunderstand what Bluesky had gone on to achieve. https://www.techdirt.com/2024/05/13/bluesky-is-building-the-... Jack was pushing Nostr at t…
Bluesky’s attitude seems logical and their reasoning aligns with my thoughts exactly. If techdirt’s article is to be believed, Dorsey’s departure has to do with going from an extreme to an extreme—from a traditional social monolith to a pure protocol—whereas Bluesky chose to pursue not only the protocol, but also “the app” as the face of that protocol for the ordinary user, and let’s face it: the ordinary user does n…
