mastodon has a very good cover of orion by metallica https://youtu.be/aKYbXVnakIs

realizing “just do your best” is a curse in the same vein as “may you live in interesting times”

are activitypods just atproto but federated

ok I officially have no idea why I can’t use my server’s known working smtp outbox on my akkoma or bluesky-pds installs I truly do not understand what’s not working here. time to not think about it for a month maybe that’ll help

just finished reading the king in yellow, just in time to watch an almost-nine-hour video essay on the king in yellow

@stringssection in BASIC it would be more like

10 PRINT "HELL"
20 GOTO 10

@mynotaurus holy shit

seeing a lot of single-user activitypub options that are probably way easier to run and maintain than akkoma, but I already have akkoma installed and I like it so whatever lmao

omg the newest technical difficulties has matt gray wearing a first of october shirt 🤩

@mynotaurus welcome to the club. it sucks here

apparently threads can follow fediverse accounts now. lmao

@mynotaurus but the fire is so delightful

@mynotaurus well, you see, Spotify knows the weather outside is frightful

this post is about office politics. I guess it’s also self-deprecation but I meant office politics

sometimes I forget people don’t like me. those moments of blissful ignorance are wonderful times

the most unrealistic part of blaseball was hawaiʻi having a professional sports team

accidentally blew up my blocklist lmao whoops

edit: oop nvm luckily my nonsense didn’t save

@mynotaurus oh also the handle is basically where a link to your DID can be found, and the DID document in question links to the PDS that’s being used so atproto-capable apps can target it

(username).bsky.social has a text file to a did:plc at (username).bsky.social/.well-known/atproto-did, which has an associated document on https://plc.directory to determine where the account’s PDS is located, the DID is the actual identity of the user and the handle is just an alias to that document

for a non-default one you need to add stuff to the domain host and/or https .well-known directory to discover where the specific user’s DID can be found, either by did:plc (the default, centralized to https://plc.directory) or did:web (an alternate method very few people use, like me, centralized to DNS like websites in general), but basically proving domain ownership is the bsky equivalent to the rel=me method of verification on activitypub/mastodon
