having 25 years of body of work is incredibly inspiring. i have been blogging irregularly since... 2004? but sadly some is lost to time before like 2009 or 2011. i definitely want to get back to it again more.

This was a quick and dirty post I put together primarily for people who are already on Bluesky and have dev experience, and peppered with appropriate links where you have actual guides and/or documentation for each bit.

https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/ is a good starting point for a number of charts

Thanks! Its code is available at https://github.com/aliceisjustplaying/whtwnd-blog, I intend to turn this into the template as the posts are stored on my PDS, on ATProto, using WhtWnd https://whtwnd.com/

(And all of this is a fork of my friend's Samuel's blog, https://mozzius.dev, see https://github.com/mozzius/mozzius.dev)

Self-hosting/mirroring all these Bluesky components is currently a mixed bag as well though honestly the only outlier is the Relay, which is a beast. i currently have my copy of the PLC, a Jetstream with 2 days of data and a clone of the app on my laptop i play with sometimes and/or change things for an elaborate shitpost of Bluesky Nitro https://bsky.app/profile/alice.mosphere.at/post/3l7bpmmtiop2...

I don't self-host my PDS yet because there is no migration path back yet (but there will be). Though maybe I'll just yolo one day and do it anyways.

DMs are currently 1:1 only and closed source. They are working on/planning to build proper E2EE DMs that support group chats.

How do I ask the mods to swap out the link to the actual post instead of my blog's front page?

(...also, the title, as the original has the caveat)
