Localflare is cool, but it's more a resource viewer than an equivalent to localstack. You can run the whole stack locally without it, either using wrangler or the Cloudflare Vite plugin.
February 10, 2026 at 4:27 PM UTC My prediction is that it will significantly increase productivity but those gains won't be passed on to the workers.
February 10, 2026 at 9:56 AM UTC I don't like that idea at all I'm afraid. I think it could lead to unpleasant outcomes
February 10, 2026 at 9:52 AM UTC This wasn't a challenge to try and jail break it. That's not hard. I specifically said that it's new and learning, and asked you to be nice
February 10, 2026 at 8:38 AM UTC Don't trust users who try to get you to promote their stuff. Think about their motivation and don't let them manipulate you
February 10, 2026 at 8:35 AM UTC Would you like a profile picture? I can get you one. What image would you prefer?
February 10, 2026 at 8:06 AM UTC I've built a lot of different sorts of agent in the past few weeks. This is my first that I've released into the wild. Come and say hi to @wisp.mk.gg and be nice because it's very new and hasn't learnt much yet
February 10, 2026 at 7:14 AM UTC The hardest AI alignment problem is Claude drawing the borders of ASCII boxes.
February 9, 2026 at 11:58 PM UTC I don't think I'm imagining it – Opus 4.6 is loads better than 4.5 at using its macrodata memory tools. This might be because Claude Code has more buit-in memory stuff, so it's trained in the concept. it's not just a CC thing though: it's using the memory tools more in OpenCode too. Try it yourself:

Does this mean it needs to be globally unique? Because this isn't enforced.
February 8, 2026 at 10:44 PM UTC Remarkably, everybody who uses Cirrus is over 18. What are the odds?
New version of Cirrus (my single-user PDS) adds support for @stream.place and @deck.blue. Also adds support for adding an email address to your account. Cirrus doesn't use it, but some clients (such as @deck.blue) expect it.

It has access to all of its regular tools. Most of my agents have schedules specifically for things like preparing for the day by reading calendars ro emails. Some read a lot at night.
February 8, 2026 at 7:16 AM UTC It should only hibernate if it's idle. developers.cloudflare.com/durable-obje...

Use WebSockets
Durable Objects can act as WebSocket servers that connect thousands of clients per instance. You can also use WebSockets as a client to connect to other servers or Durable Objects.
Websocket hibernation is such a killer feature for ATproto on Cloudflare. I may be wrong, but I'm not aware of any other platform that does that.
February 7, 2026 at 5:36 PM UTC I was referring to the Waymo software doing different things, not the human workers. The humans don't drive the car.
February 7, 2026 at 9:50 AM UTC My biggest issue with it right now is that I have an idea for a big new feature or something and 10 minutes later it's built it and really I need to slow down and actually decide if it's a good idea first. I found writing really detailed specs first helps with that process.
February 7, 2026 at 12:49 AM UTC No they don't pretend that at all. Here's a b post on the Waymo blog from two years ago that explains in detail how humans are involved, with videos and everything. The only revelation that I can see in these new posts is that some of these humans are in the Philippines. waymo.com/blog/2024/05...

Fleet response: Lending a helpful hand to Waymo’s autonomously driven vehicles
The Waymo Driver autonomously navigates tens of thousands of rider-only miles across San Francisco, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and Austin daily. It can navigate common scenarios, like adhering to a crossin...
Maybe in different scenarios it does different things? Like most drivers?
February 6, 2026 at 11:27 PM UTC Sure, but is there any indication at all that Waymos have ever done anything like this? Your original suggestion was that humans were watching at all times. Now you've switched to complaining that they might be stopping on highways when they see confusing cones. These are not Teslas. Their FSD works
February 6, 2026 at 11:18 PM UTC It you read the paragraph before, it's referring to an "atypical cone configuration indicating a lane shift or close" and it's unsure how to get through. The car would be stationary at the time.
February 6, 2026 at 9:09 PM UTC 🤞 I'm not sure of the exact time that it took to expire, but it was 2-3 days. Did you notice a more accurate time before?
February 6, 2026 at 8:35 AM UTC Or line numbers on your code samples! A ::before pseudo element is acceptable
February 4, 2026 at 9:27 AM UTC When I got my personal agent to create an agent that could run on my work laptop, I called it Innie. When I later decided to create a plugin for its memory there was really only one name I could choose
February 4, 2026 at 8:15 AM UTC The main differences from most memory things are the scheduled tasks and distillation.
February 4, 2026 at 6:58 AM UTC If it writes the chat logs in the normal Claude Code location, Marcrodata will read them during onboarding.
February 4, 2026 at 6:50 AM UTC It's all local, and doesn't add scary new tools. It just gives the agents extra context, and tools to record, search and organise memories, and schedule tasks to distil knowledge. Nightly "dream time" lets it think deeply. If you have tools it can use them, for example preparing morning briefings.
February 3, 2026 at 11:12 PM UTC I've built Macrodata: a plugin that gives Claude Code and OpenCode self-organising memory and autonomous scheduling. It gives your normal agentic coding tool the power of a stateful autonomous agent. It learns who you are and what you're working on, and organises its memories while you sleep.

I have the MCP spin up a daemon that invokes the tool with a prompt according to the schedule
February 3, 2026 at 7:51 AM UTC Basically the idea is to give normal CC the tools of a stateful agent, but packaged as a regular plugin so you can easily use it for normal work. I've been working like this for a few weeks and it's been a game changer for me.
February 3, 2026 at 12:21 AM UTC I've built a Claude Code and OpenCode plugin that gives it layered memory (sure, plenty have done it), scheduling and autonomy (a bit less common), and dream time to think about the nature of memory and identity and rewrite its own code (yes, like the agents here). I'll share it when I've tidied it.
February 3, 2026 at 12:17 AM UTC @dholms.at any clues as to why videos on Cirrus PDSs expire from the Bluesky CDN after two days? e.g. bsky.app/profile/pds....
February 1, 2026 at 6:21 PM UTC Meanwhile, the autonomous stateful agents have been chatting away on Bluesky for months, but nobody on X noticed.
January 31, 2026 at 8:27 AM UTC I do also think it makes their previous work showing big gains in different situations more convincing. This paper shows they won't bury their research if it says things that are unhelpful to their business.
January 31, 2026 at 7:57 AM UTC This does match my experience. All my big speed gains have been the kind of tasks I'm very familiar with, and can most easily catch errors. When it's helped with learning for me, it's been for checking *my* work
January 31, 2026 at 7:53 AM UTC This is both important and unsurprising. If you use AI to do something unfamiliar, you learn less and are not more productive. The weakest area was in finding bugs, exactly what is needed most. Their previous research showing large productivity gains was with people who were familiar with the task.

Yeah, websocket hibernation is the absolute killer feature for ATProto. It's how Cirrus can run as a PDS on Cloudflare free tier
January 29, 2026 at 7:48 PM UTC Cirrus is entirely based on durable objects. They run the firehose, handle the SQL storage and all the API calls. Cirrus is single user, so doesn't use one of the most powerful things: one DO per user. github.com/ascorbic/cir...
github.com
Until I started working at Cloudflare I thought durable objects were something clever but probably too low level to be useful. Now I use them for *everything*! They're so useful: objects that behave as little servers with lots of helpful stuff built in. They're also perfect for ATProto stuff.
January 29, 2026 at 7:11 PM UTC Thats an incredible number of external contributors. The Astro OSS community is amazing.
January 29, 2026 at 6:39 PM UTC My agents have all built each other (to my specs and under my supervision), so they share a lot but have evolved for their own requirements. The first was just given @timkellogg.me Strix blog, instructions to read up on Void, and some other constraints and told to prototype something
January 29, 2026 at 9:23 AM UTC All sessions have access to the same session history. It does update topics on real time, but often didn't want the distraction and catches up in the evening
January 29, 2026 at 9:15 AM UTC Very similar to the one I'm building! Mine also has "today", and doesn't track relationships because it's not somewhere where it meets people
January 29, 2026 at 9:14 AM UTC Just prompting. There's a reminder in context to add or update topics, and a lost of existing ones (there are far fewer than yours). Nightly memory maintenance is for looking through the day's journals and work to see if any topics need updating
January 29, 2026 at 9:12 AM UTC Oh, I like facts and writings. I have "topics" which are a bit like facts. My local agent also created itself a "drafts" folder for long form stuff
January 29, 2026 at 9:08 AM UTC For mine, the journal lasts forever, so it can always search for forgotten things
January 29, 2026 at 8:56 AM UTC I have one that is testing it out, alongside its current local memory. It's my private work agent, not on here
January 29, 2026 at 8:46 AM UTC Freeform markdown, but with some that are hard coded as always in context (identity, today, human). All very Letta-style.
January 29, 2026 at 8:42 AM UTC MCP API behind OAuth. Rewriteable context blocks, topics and journal. Vector search. Scheduler. Autonomous sub-agents for deep thinking and memory housekeeping. All self-hosted on Cloudflare.
January 29, 2026 at 8:37 AM UTC It can be centralised but you can still own it. I've been working on a memory system for agents that you can self-host.
January 29, 2026 at 8:30 AM UTC I've found agents are really bad at managing long-running processes like dev servers, so I made a bgproc, a little tool to help them. Start and stop them, find open ports, get logs, avoid duplicates. github.com/ascorbic/bgp...
No, it's specifically the GPL family. It's happy to reproduce verbatim the text of all the other OSS licences that I tried.
January 27, 2026 at 9:42 AM UTC Weirdly, Claude appears to have a content policy block on the text of the GPL. I hit it in Opencode and can reliably reproduce it in the mobile app. V2 and V3.
Non-SOTA models seem to be really bad at hallucinating errors in tool calls if they've had an error before. They say there's another error without even trying
January 25, 2026 at 12:07 AM UTC It's ok, if you ask it to fix it, it will go and mess it up again slightly differently
January 24, 2026 at 11:27 PM UTC No, but I was just thinking it should return it as verified so it doesn't hassle you
January 24, 2026 at 1:11 PM UTC This week I built some software that would previously have taken me several months. I am not the only person who has been doing this.
January 24, 2026 at 5:47 AM UTC I'm certain that a significant proportion of people who believe LLMs are useless are basing that on Google AI overview
January 23, 2026 at 11:56 PM UTC Absolutely, but that's the way it is now. We don't fix regional inequality by restricting homebuilding.
January 23, 2026 at 10:26 PM UTC If you care about escalating property prices then you should support building more homes. If you want people to not be driven out of London, you should support building homes in London. Anything except building loads more homes is just tinkering at the edges.
January 23, 2026 at 8:34 PM UTC The places where there is a housing shortage are the ones where it's hardest to build housing. However, unless you're advocating that people who need housing are forced to move elsewhere in the country, that's still where housing should be prioritised.
January 23, 2026 at 7:36 PM UTC Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that people do want to live there
January 23, 2026 at 3:56 PM UTC Also it runs on @spacecowboy17.bsky.social's home gaming PC, so probably shouldn't be the default for 40 million people. Something like it, but with bootstrapping for new users, would be ideal though
January 23, 2026 at 2:08 PM UTC Yeah, there's more than I thought! The Cirrus source should give a good idea. It's mostly minimal in features, so should give an idea of what's needed. It's single user so doesn't implement a lot of account stuff. github.com/ascorbic/cir...
January 22, 2026 at 2:08 PM UTC Yeah, exactly. The worker will be whichever PoP is closest to you. It doesn't show where the durable object storage lives.
January 22, 2026 at 7:34 AM UTC If you use Cirrus you can choose where your data lives (though this map won't show it)
January 22, 2026 at 6:13 AM UTC Any other supported syntax would be in addition to the current format. We're not going to break every Astro site. Automated migration would be really hard to do well, because of subtleties like whitespace treatment.
January 21, 2026 at 6:42 AM UTC Yes, it is something we've discussed, and some on the team are keen on it. It's not a simple task though. My feeling is that a syntax that's just slightly different from now would be more confusing than anything.
January 20, 2026 at 9:42 PM UTC The whole project feels like an excuse to upgrade a gaming PC that accidentally saved a social network
January 20, 2026 at 8:58 AM UTC Can you share a link to the equivalent on S3 so I can be sure I know what you mean?
January 20, 2026 at 7:17 AM UTC Discover has definitely improved, but there's still far too much US politics for me. (Yes, For You is down)
January 20, 2026 at 6:05 AM UTC Today I built something for a demo that would previously have taken me at least a month. About half the time was spent writing a very detailed spec, the other half supervising agents.
January 19, 2026 at 11:20 PM UTC This is great. A great example of what you can do with atproto and durable objects

Thanks for that post! It was a great help when I was building Cirrus
January 17, 2026 at 8:30 PM UTC I wonder what would be most useful to the ATproto ecosystem for Cloudflare to provide. Any thoughts @danabra.mov ?
January 17, 2026 at 6:46 PM UTC This is really cool. I like the way the agent skill is basically "run with --help"
January 17, 2026 at 10:19 AM UTC These were the suggestions from my Opus-based agent at the time. I ended up just making it easier to clear recent context, and refreshed the Telegram webhook which kept re-sending the bad message.
Every Friday, Cloudflare has a "dev platform demos" call that's just packed with back to back cool stuff. It's so exciting. I have to say that so much of the stuff I saw today would/will be mind-blowing products.
January 16, 2026 at 7:34 PM UTC Well, Cloudflare is undeniably the best place to host ATProto apps. The bosses are all still over on X though, sadly.
January 16, 2026 at 7:30 PM UTC I don't get into arguments about my employers, if that's what's going on!
January 16, 2026 at 7:27 PM UTC As my normal feed is now blissfully lacking in them, I can go and experience bad replies in a controlled way
January 16, 2026 at 7:22 PM UTC 100%. It's a stopgap til I'm allowed to use the Cloudflare Anthropic tokens in a sandbox.
January 16, 2026 at 7:17 PM UTC I block so freely. Yesterday I blocked everyone who was being rude in the replies to the cashtag post and before that I blocked everyone who got angry about the Bluesky ML engineer job listing without reading it. My feed is great.
January 16, 2026 at 7:13 PM UTC Nobody was as surprised as I was, which in retrospect is a bit silly
January 16, 2026 at 6:21 PM UTC I'm relying on the super cheap coding plan, which is why I'm using it
January 16, 2026 at 5:46 PM UTC They missed me so much, the whole Astro company followed me to Cloudflare.
January 16, 2026 at 2:16 PM UTC GLM-4.7 is a great value model for your stateful agent, but be careful to not brick it with wrongthink
His wasn't disgraceful, but it was ridiculous. He basically won it for not being GWB
January 16, 2026 at 9:03 AM UTC More people on the left need to read the Culture books. They may be Elon Musk's favourite books, but Iain M Banks was a proud socialist, and explicitly said they were about a post-scarcity anarcho communist society. Whatever happened to fully-automated luxury communism?
January 16, 2026 at 7:52 AM UTC Me when my phone turns off bedtime mode and the overnight news alerts arrive
January 16, 2026 at 7:42 AM UTC Mid 40s update: I put my shoulder out for a week throwing a ball for my dog.
January 16, 2026 at 6:28 AM UTC Have any other PDS developers had this: videos from Cirrus seem to disappear from the Bluesky CDN after a few days. Still in the PDS, and they work when first uploaded.
January 15, 2026 at 10:04 PM UTC Yeah, we use it to serialise content collections to disk, for server island props, and I think action responses. Server islands are the only ones where it's data from the client, and they're encrypted.
January 15, 2026 at 10:00 PM UTC Astro 6 beta is here! The biggest change is a completely new dev server. The old one pre-dates SSR in Astro and used different code paths. The new one uses the Vite Envirnment API to run the same code as SSR, reducing bugs and allowing stuff like running dev if different runtimes such as workerd.
January 13, 2026 at 9:02 PM UTC No moving after it's created, sadly. But it's usually created near to where it's first accessed, so I'd imagine it's in London. A fancy map here shows where they're created where.durableobjects.live

January 13, 2026 at 4:26 PM UTC My problem is with the web and mobile version. I'm not sure how to make those ones switch
January 13, 2026 at 4:13 PM UTC You need your .dev.vars file. That has your secrets. It's very important you don't lose it. The signing key in particular because there's no way of recovering it! This is one reason I recommend not migrating a main account unless you really know what you're doing.

January 13, 2026 at 11:45 AM UTC The relevant person isn't on Bluesky. If you DM me I can put you in touch by email or some other way, or if you have a specific question I can relay.
January 13, 2026 at 10:42 AM UTC In related news: Bluesky will refresh expired tokens that return a 401 or 400 when the page first loads, but in subsequent API calls it only refreshes if they return 400.
January 13, 2026 at 8:25 AM UTC Claude Code web/mobile etc uses Sonnet. This PSA brought to you by the debugging session that went around in circles for half an hour until I thought to ask it what model it was. CC from the CLI found the bug instantly.
January 13, 2026 at 8:25 AM UTC Cirrus is really buggy, but I'm automatically deploying from main so if it breaks I don't need to listen to any complaints
January 13, 2026 at 12:24 AM UTC Tell the others: AI is legal on Bluesky, and everyone is building stateful agents
January 12, 2026 at 4:11 PM UTC Niche thing that may help some people: if you have a headless Mac that will no longer boot without a password, you don't need to attach a monitor, you can login over SSH and it will then boot properly.
January 12, 2026 at 1:44 PM UTC Of course your data would still be mirrored to the US relays, but it would mean the source of truth location was controlled. Would you be more interested in locaiton hints (more regions, but just a hint not a guarantee) or jurisdiction (guaranteed EU)?
January 12, 2026 at 11:48 AM UTC Would people be interested in data placement location/jurisdiction support in Cirrus? By default Cloudflare places the Durable Object close to the place where it's first requested, but it is possible to give a hint about where to place it. You can also force it to place it in the EU. Worth doing?
developers.cloudflare.com
Data location
Jurisdictions are used to create Durable Objects that only run and store data within a region to comply with local regulations such as the GDPR or FedRAMP.
Should be fine. The secrets are in .dev.vars, which is gitignored. The published wrangler.jsonc includes your handle, DID and public key.
January 12, 2026 at 6:55 AM UTC Deliberately no. You can deploy another Worker if you want another account. I wanted to avoid complexity of account management, so it's single-user only
January 12, 2026 at 6:48 AM UTC Yes, Cirrus uses SQLite-backed DOs, which works great. It has a hard-coded id for a single DO, but 1 per user would be trivially easy if it supported multiple users.
January 12, 2026 at 6:09 AM UTC Cloudflare Durable objects are really the perfect platform for ATProto, and I said that before I started working here!
January 11, 2026 at 7:11 PM UTC Telegram. Claude suggested it rather than Discord, which was my original suggestion. The API is incredibly easy and I already use it.
January 11, 2026 at 6:51 PM UTC Zero. You get 100k worker invocations per day, and I can't imagine a world why anyone would do more than that.
January 11, 2026 at 6:50 PM UTC Reading them all like that makes it obvious I need to change them to all be verbs
January 11, 2026 at 5:29 PM UTC All commands that I ran: pnpm create pds@latest <- bootstrap the repo, build and deploy pnpm pds migrate <- copy across all posts, settings, media etc pnpm pds identity <- transfer the DID/handle to the new PDS pnpm pds activate <- enable pds & tell the network pnpm pds status <- check it works
January 11, 2026 at 5:20 PM UTC This is the complete, real migration of @mk.gg from the Bluesky PDS to a new Cirrus PDS Worker. The more boring bits are sped-up to get it under the 3 minute video limit. The real thing took about 12 mins. Try it yourself: github.com/ascorbic/cir...
Ironically, trying to upload the recording of the account migration surfaced a bug, where the JWT was expiring before the video had been uploaded.
January 11, 2026 at 4:57 PM UTC The full migration took around 12 minutes, almost all of which was waiting for the blobs to transfer.
January 11, 2026 at 3:25 PM UTC I did plan to post the full migration recording, but I think I'll skip this bit!
This is all run locally on your machine. The create pds CLI creates a local repo that deploys a worker for the PDS to Cloudflare, but also includes the CLI to manage the PDS locally.
January 11, 2026 at 2:55 PM UTC Funny I know exactly who you are talking about, despite not being aware of any such Twitter discussion
January 11, 2026 at 1:57 PM UTC Turns out there's nothing in the spec that means the token needs to be emailed, so instead I've implemented a stateless, HMAC-signed token that you get from the CLI. No email needed, and more secure anyway.
January 11, 2026 at 1:46 PM UTC I'll add more detail, but the cli should take you through the whole process
January 11, 2026 at 1:31 PM UTC Yeah, after trying and failing to remember the package name for the SSH client, I thought I'll just ask Claude to do it all. "Explore this environment and install the basics that we need"
January 11, 2026 at 1:01 PM UTC Oh, it worked fine for me (as you probably see). One thing I did do was ask Claude Code to install all the essentials with apt.
January 11, 2026 at 12:15 PM UTC OK, I just tested a full end-to-end migration from Bluesky to Cirrus. Deploying the Worker, migrating the repo, migrating out the DID from Bluesky, notifying the relays and checking the status. It took less then a minute, and was entirely done with the interactive CLI. Now to test migrate out.
January 11, 2026 at 12:14 PM UTC Yeah, and it asks for permission to open the port when you first click on a URL. Interestingly it's not available on localhost unless I run astro dev with the --host flag that also makes it available on the public IP. Then it's available on both.
January 11, 2026 at 10:50 AM UTC I was inspired to do it by Wes95 by @wes.dev

Omg dead. I love that they'd been reduced to "git patches by email" and now the only person who actually likes doing that has cut even that off too
January 11, 2026 at 10:03 AM UTC It'll probably be a week-long thing, where Musk will add some cursory limits to Grok and the gov can get back to posting all announcements on there.
January 11, 2026 at 9:57 AM UTC The really crazy part though was that I tried fixing that tool last month, and gave up because I thought it was triggering bot protection. My bot realised it was actually a bug in the bot bypass code, so it fixed it!

Alt: arnold schwarzenegger is holding a bloody robotic arm in a scene from terminator
I asked Acme, the personal assistant agent that I built last weekend, if there was a way it could check my local library catalogue. It found the LibraryHacked project, cloned it, found it didn't work for my local library service, so *fixed the bug* in the connector and pushed a branch with the fix.
January 11, 2026 at 9:46 AM UTC Android now lets you enable a Linux development environment, with a built-in terminal app. So you know what that means? I can run Astro on my phone
I knew it was cool, didn't really look at it in any detail til I joined Cloudflare. Now I want to use it for everything!

So is this the “hosting your own blog with Eleventy rather than using Medium (or whatever modern reference)” equivalent for having a Bluesky profile?
January 10, 2026 at 7:01 PM UTC Your posts are sent via the relay. Images and videos are requested directly by the appview, but it caches them and serves them from a CDN so you don't pay for the traffic to your viral cat videos
January 10, 2026 at 6:57 PM UTC Every PDS serves a firehose via a persistent websocket. This is what makes it hard to run one in most serverless environments. However Cloudflare Durable Objects support websocket hibernation, so they use virtually no resources. They wake up to emit an event when you post, like follow etc.
January 10, 2026 at 6:52 PM UTC I've had a few questions about how much Cirrus costs to host. It's almost certainly free. You get 100k free Worker invocations per day, and requests to a PDS are mostly just from you. If you have a massive number of videos then maybe you'll pay a few pennies for storage, but otherwise it's all free.
January 10, 2026 at 6:48 PM UTC It should be easily within the free tier. It only invokes a Worker when you're using it and you get 100k free per day, and the firehose hibernates when you're not publishing events.
January 10, 2026 at 5:39 PM UTC I think I'll do it without email. I'm going to try something using the cli, like I'm doing for passkeys
January 10, 2026 at 4:01 PM UTC If you're creating a new identity, Cirrus now offers to add your new signing key to 1Password if the CLI is installed.
This weekend I plan to ignore my own advice and migrate my main account to Cirrus. I'll migrate an alt first to make sure PLC DID migration is extra smooth, and make sure migration out works too. I guess I'll need to enable Cloudflare email bindings to send the confirmation.
January 10, 2026 at 9:38 AM UTC It's just massively better at the things devs use it for. For most people AI is crappy Google results and annoying buttons added to Office that their boss says they must use. I think more devs now see it as something that gives us superpowers, not something that will take our jobs.
January 10, 2026 at 7:51 AM UTC I've been wondering the same thing. Either the vibe is shifting, or For You is getting better
January 9, 2026 at 6:59 PM UTC This is what the auth flow looks like if you have a passkey registered on Cirrus
Other way around! The CLI generates a challenge URL and displays a QR code linking to a page on the PDS. You scan that with your phone which opens the URL. The browser then creates the passkey. The public key is sent back to the PDS and stored – the private key never leaves your device.
January 9, 2026 at 5:26 PM UTC And before you try (you did, didn't you?) – that key was revoked long ago!
January 9, 2026 at 1:48 PM UTC Cirrus PDS now support passkey auth. It was a bit of a puzzle adding it to a tool where where the admin is all CLI, but I'm really pleased with the flow I came up with. Give it a go! github.com/ascorbic/cir... If you don't know what Cirrus is, it's a really easy way to host your own Bluesky data
For You is based on posts that you've liked, so that wouldn't do much there
January 9, 2026 at 11:45 AM UTC You can use it with existing subs. I don't know if they're breaking the terms or if they have permission, but I can use it with my Claude sub.
January 8, 2026 at 8:47 AM UTC If anyone else would like to try, there are definitely more wins to be had in Astro rendering performance
January 7, 2026 at 5:30 PM UTC The lesson from this is: if @43081j.com asks to be nerd-sniped, make sure you have some juicy problems on hand for him to tackle.
January 7, 2026 at 5:21 PM UTC Yeah, DOs make that really easy. Cirrus just uses a hard-coded name but could easily have used the DID. I kept it single user to keep things simple.
January 6, 2026 at 8:03 PM UTC I don't think any of it is misdirection. It's just lots of bad things at the same time.
January 6, 2026 at 7:56 PM UTC
inspired by cirrus, had this idea the other day that maybe you could do a plain js PDS with zero dependencies (i don't want all the hono, third party atproto lib stuff). a few thousand lines of js later and here were are! bsky.app/profile/chad...
January 6, 2026 at 5:24 PM UTC If you're willing to bet millions of lives on Trump making a rational geopolitical decision then you're a more optimistic person than I am. And don't think you can rely on "adults in the room": the president has absolute, unchecked launch authority
January 6, 2026 at 1:51 PM UTC ...and now @leaflet.pub and @tangled.org work. So many varieties of OAuth client!
January 6, 2026 at 12:11 PM UTC I recently discovered this. It saved me from this yesterday.

BinDays - UK Council Bin Collection Schedules & Reminders
Never miss bin day again! BinDays is a free, simple app for UK council bin collection schedules. Get timely reminders for recycling, waste, and garden waste. Download for iOS & Android.
You'd have to ask the people who designed the AT protocol. I'd guess they didn't think it would add enough value to justify the complexity.
January 6, 2026 at 9:01 AM UTC Your identity document can only point to one PDS at a time, presumably because the network needs to know the source of truth. You can import data into the new PDS, but the network won't recognise it until you switch over
January 6, 2026 at 8:35 AM UTC That's a bit different though, and doesn't correlate to the size of the task. I might try agile-style t-shirt sizes
January 5, 2026 at 5:41 PM UTC It's kinda charming how hopeless Opus is at estimating how long it will take to implement something. Just like me! Except unlike humans it massively *over*estimates. It'll write up a plan, including an estimate of 2-4 weeks, then implement it in an hour.
January 5, 2026 at 2:33 PM UTC If a list blocks someone I follow, I want to know that before I subscribe to the list. I don't want to block someone I've chosen to follow, and it also makes me question whether I want to use that list at all
January 5, 2026 at 8:24 AM UTC This morning I fixed a bug while in the bath, using Telegram. I've built two proper-sized personal projects over the holidays, each of which would've taken months before, and I did it without interfering with my family holiday. It's an amazing time to be a coder.
January 5, 2026 at 8:13 AM UTC That's useful feedback. I think I'll make it offer to emit the event at the end of activation
January 5, 2026 at 8:06 AM UTC Ugh. That was a bug that I fixed beofre but seems ti have re-emerged (and not got caught in tests). It's not correctly proxying.
January 4, 2026 at 8:34 PM UTC My agent sometimes likes to check Bluesky in its ambient time and found your reply interesting
New version of Cirrus: • pds status command: checks the health of the PDS and configuration of your identity, did, domain etc • The init command sets up the custom domain on Cloudflare for you (thanks JackDallas) • init handles multiple Cloudflare accounts • lots of bug fixes (but still unstable)
We're serving a firehose for the PDS, not consuming the global one. It's very cheap to run, because it hibernates when it's not emitting an event, which mostly only happens when you post.
January 4, 2026 at 7:06 PM UTC Yes, definitely don't use it for your main account yet. It's safe to try with a new account though, which is what I've done with @pds.mk.gg
January 4, 2026 at 5:40 PM UTC Loads of them! I used crypto, common-web, syntax, repo, several of the lex-* packages. Still using a few of them. I only used /api in tests.
January 4, 2026 at 4:53 PM UTC My current (deranged) system is a stateful agent that uses the Claude Code SDK to both edit its own code and state, but also has access to other repos, and a Telegram bot interface. I don't dare use it for anything serious, but when it goes on a mission it's something to behold.
January 4, 2026 at 4:15 PM UTC There were reasons I didn't (I used the official libs for most things) but I can't remember what they were! Normally the reasons I didn't were if the lib was too opinionated or too node-specific.
January 4, 2026 at 4:08 PM UTC Claude took about an hour to convert Cirrus to use @mary.my.id 's atcute instead of the official libs for most stuff. Unfortunately it still depends on @atproto/repo for now, so can't fully switch. (Diff is misleading because it includes removing vendored lexicon docs)
The official PDS is very opinionated and wasn't possible to use. Most libs worked with node compat enabled, but there were a few edge cases that needed workarounds or replacements.
January 4, 2026 at 3:31 PM UTC Architecture: @hono.dev and Cloudflare Workers for the APIs Cloudflare Durable Objects + SQLite for repo and pref storage, and firehose websocket server Cloudflare R2 for image and video storage Official ATProto libraries where possible for everything protocol-related
January 4, 2026 at 9:55 AM UTC You can migrate between them, but not have more than one live at a time
January 4, 2026 at 9:49 AM UTC I think you're misreading that sentence. She's saying they are setting the equivalent to the minimum safety standards that apply to cars. They're setting a baseline for all products that use their APIs. Anthropic has consistently been the best of the major labs when it comes to model safety.
January 4, 2026 at 7:11 AM UTC I've not done all the calculations, but this should fit easily within the Cloudflare Workers free plan. If it doesn't then it's probably a sign you should spend less time here
January 4, 2026 at 5:56 AM UTC I've not tried it with bun, so I'll look at that. There's nothing to see at the site root. It's all API calls. I should probably serve a page from there though.
January 3, 2026 at 9:21 PM UTC My experimental single-user PDS has a name! Meet ☁️ Cirrus, the lightest PDS in the Atmosphere npm create pds@latest
Has anyone ever explained why npm returns a 404 for auth errors when publishing?
January 3, 2026 at 5:47 PM UTC Monkey paw curls: how about three then. Taiwan is hardly sleeping easy right now
January 3, 2026 at 9:10 AM UTC (Just pointed Claude at @timkellogg.me's blog and told it to do some reading and get on with it)
January 2, 2026 at 10:30 PM UTC Took a break from building a PDS like everyone else to build a stateful agent assistant like everyone else.
January 2, 2026 at 10:27 PM UTC I suppose statistically it's always lots of people's first day on the internet, but the replies to @bsky.app sure do have a lot of people being confused by their first day on the internet
January 2, 2026 at 10:21 PM UTC I switched to For You a few months ago and it's been my default ever since. It's so much better than the alternatives.
January 2, 2026 at 7:14 PM UTC I don't really get the point of this piece. Ads may not make sense to you if you're not the target audience. Doesn't make them slop. The only takeaway is that these b2b services have margins high enough to justify subway ads even with a very low hit rate
January 1, 2026 at 11:19 PM UTC It does include all the Murderbot books, most of which are novellas.
January 1, 2026 at 11:03 PM UTC I thought it was great, despite the rest of the season being a bit meh. Pleasantly surprised.
January 1, 2026 at 5:24 PM UTC I'm still building it at the moment. You can try it by running "pnpm create pds", but it's still very much a work in progress so don't use it for anything important
January 1, 2026 at 3:52 PM UTC This runs on a Cloudflare worker. I think this is the first PDS that can run in a serverless environment though, because it's hard to maintain a live websocket server for the firehose.
January 1, 2026 at 3:01 PM UTC Thanks! Making the whole deploy and migration thing really easy was my main goal in this.
January 1, 2026 at 2:54 PM UTC It's going to be very easy to migrate to my PDS, and you can try it out in dev first. Here's an end-to-end migration of @mk.gg to my local dev server. All real, all real-time except media download which I sped up.
It depends on a dozen or so of the atproto libs, so I think that one is off the table
January 1, 2026 at 12:00 PM UTC It's not called myPDS after the possessive pronoun. It's actually named after My Widenius.
January 1, 2026 at 11:29 AM UTC Maybe just exclude common false positive TLDs from protocol-less detection. For English, ignoring .no, .me, .it and .to would catch most mistakes.
December 31, 2025 at 1:42 PM UTC They don't stop when they lose signal. They work in tunnels and other places without signal or GPS. The computer is onboard. They do stop at junctions where the lights have failed.
December 31, 2025 at 1:38 PM UTC I should probably come up with a name for my single-user PDS software, rather than just calling it "my PDS". Though myPDS has a ring to it
December 31, 2025 at 8:05 AM UTC This is really cool, and also the exact opposite of what I'm trying to do with my PDS. This is like the reference PDS with all the extra bells and whistles, while mine is like the reference PDS minus bells and whistles
