“ and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad.”

Yes actually Sam often ships random fun things he feels like doing.

Who owns it?

Cheaper than it is now! I think it was about $1100 at the time, definitely the most expensive part of the whole setup

I've also done a full network replica (all the data indexed in a postgres) on a raspberry pi (with an 8tb nvme attached via a hat). Its really not expensive to do . And if I wanted to drop data older than say 3 months, it would be even cheaper still.

The default pds packaging takes care of SSL, but thats not a requirement, just something we try to make easy for users.

Also at:// URIs are of the form at://DID/..., and your human readable handle is bound to your DID through DNS TXT records _atproto.roshangeorge.dev, but applications all know to render that as just roshangeorge.dev. That DID points to a document that specifies where your server lives, so the HTTPS/WSS routes can live wherever you want them to.

Also likes/replies/etc on your posts go in their authors repos not yours, your intuition is correct there.

people get so up in arms when you suggest there might be a limit on how many people they can follow.

fwiw, the Knuth quote is "premature optimizations are the root of all evil"

I tend to agree with this, thats why theres canonical URIs for atproto posts that are agnostic to the hosting provider. The format is at://DID/collection/recordKey.

These are used throughout the system, for example if you look at the output of a feed generator, its just a list of these URIs

It's possible, and we've talked about it, but it would take a good amount of work (as would any 'correct' solution), so we have punted on properly solving DMs for a bit. I know Matthew has been very interested in working with us to figure something out here

its been consistent around 10/s most of today, hit even higher bursts at points. Its been steadily increasing every day for the past week.

It is indeed an open source app for an open source protocol.

yeah it works fine on bare metal, you'll just have to do a bit more set up work yourself (https terminating and such). The installer script should be instructive in how to run it but you'll have to figure out the BSD specific stuff
