Solution is also on the works like use /.well-known/, so this is more like funny, rather than a big problem. Key to trick was to have bucket named "xrpc" and store a file there: https://s3.amazonaws.com/xrpc/com.atproto.identity.resolveHa... There is also another funny thing in the image, the user posting about is sending one from "retr0-id.translate.goog", which is odd. Somehow he has got https://retr0-id.translate.…

Reminds me of people taking the username “admin” or “hostmaster” at a free email service and being able to get domain verification emails.

Unless it's been recently updated their help article only lists TXT record for verification https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/4-28-2023-domain-handle-tutorial

is blueskyweb.xyz an official site for them? I've only seen bsky.social which now redirects to.. bsky.app? (if so couldn't the web stuff live on.. bsky.app?)

edit: bsky.app links to blueskyweb.xyz so I guess so. weird.

Seems like the crypto crowd is moving on to creating flaky decentralized twitter clones now

Bluesky was started within Twitter as a federated social protocol in 2019. Spun out in 2021 as a standalone company and it was also being used in the Crypto group at Twitter until Elon came in.

I'm sure just because of its age and principals involved it's been heavily influenced by the crypto crowd.

But suddenly, without anything else really stepping in to fill the void, it's the Twitter alternative of the day. Anyway not surprised to find some gotcha's like this all things considered.

I hope I never work on software you folks use. The grand claims about something that is not even hard to fix is just wild to me.

What about the next 500 easy-to-fix bugs? Is there a public test suite?

> Is there a public test suite?

The entire specification (which is admittedly incomplete) and implementation are open source.

I am not aware of a dedicated test suite for alternative implementations. It's too early, IMHO. I personally would much prefer the team to focus their time elsewhere for the time being.

Thanks for the explanation. Kinda surprised xrpc hadn't been registered as a bucket name long ago. Or maybe it was.

Just created it yesterday. I don't think there's as much incentive to squat on the S3 namespace like there is for domain names.

Yeah, a bucket name isn't the face of your company.

At a previous company I worked at, every bucket had the company name prefixed. Never had a problem with squatters.

I wonder if Amazon actually has any policies to prevent squatting.

Mastadon has no chance if every time something becomes a little bit viral it's instance dies over the traffic.

Mastodon is a bunch of individual instances of varying power but maybe they should build in something that detects load and archived itself and redirects to the archive.
