pds-starter-pack All you need to know about pds.witchcraft.systems

this is your reminder that pds.witchcraft.systems is a thing and is still accepting new members!

DM this account to get the invite, then follow our starter guide to either sign up for a new account or migrate your existing one to our PDS

(the DM requirement is just to prevent spam)

this is really cool actually!! now you can try migrating to a third-party PDS (like ours :3) and if you don't like it there - come back to your previous bluesky-hosted PDS!

heyyy

We have a donation page now! If you want to support what we do and motivate us to do more of it - now you can!!

hey and this is absolutely unrelated but did you know that japan has extremely permissive social media laws (that even then basically only apply to platform operators with 10M users or more) with no plans to change that any time soon? haha

oh and we also have a publicly-accessible S3 bucket with nightly exports of all accounts so in case we go down you will still be able to get your data (for at least a month) and move somewhere else

worst case scenario (like, an earthquake or smth) - the backup gets rolled out onto a VPS and we’re back

in my defense, it’s a synology on a UPS, with two redundant network connections (fiber and 5G), nightly backups, and a backup instance ready to be deployed if something happens to the main one

The coven has updated the migration guide over at the git.witchcraft.systems/scientific-w... for all of you suffering from the PLC token Timeout curse

planning to do some network restructuring later today, the PDS will be switched over to the backup uplink until it's over

might experience a small blip when changing the networks, and slightly worse performance while on the backup connection, but otherwise it should be ok

will reply here when done

proxy server had an oopsie but we're back now!

yay ^-^

yaaaay :3

yes please

pds-starter-pack All you need to know about pds.witchcraft.systems

Reminder that PDS signups are open for everyone! DM this account to get an invite code (handled manually to protect us from spam), there are no special requirements you need to meet to join.

Our PDS is physically located in Tokyo, so if your client (like deer.social) doesn't tell the AppView you're somewhere else - thanks to service proxying, the best guess at where you're at, from the AppView's perspective, could only be Tokyo (from the IP address of the PDS).

Just had a voltage drop in the circuit powering the PDS, the UPS kicked in, and it seems to have gone back to normal now, but just in case it drops again - assume the possibility of unexpected downtime in the following couple of hours

we’re thinking about this!! but no promises yet…

yeah but it has to subscribe to _some_ firehose/jetstream in the first place to get the posts

and that means that the firehose URL can be set to pds.witchcraft.systems without any additional filters and then it'll return all the posts from the PDS

I mostly meant just subscribing to the PDS firehose with no filtering for a PDS-wide feed of posts, but the dedicated account thingy is also possible

i mean if it just SHOWS the posts from the PDS you're fine

as long as it doesn't post anything lol

you know what you need to do next
