How Streamplace Works: Signing and Segmentation

New blog post, explaining Streamplace's signing and segmentation flow! TLDR: You slice it up into one-second MP4 files and C2PA them.

so that's what the o in oauth stands for

Engineering is the intersection of Curiosity and Capability

When your curiosity outstrips your capability, you expand your capability and grow

When your capability expands, it allows you to see farther and grows your curiosity

Don't allow your tools take away both your Curiosity and Capability

the 15 year age gap might be the least concerning thing here

I wonder what the most migrated account is, and how many times it has migrated

could get a definitive answer for PLC and... just ask all the did:web heads through DM lol

pretty much... here's what I remember doing:

created a new bucket, turned off all public access

copied everything in /pds/blocks/ to <bucket>/blocks/

PDS_BLOBSTORE_S3_BUCKET points to your bucket name

full PDS restart after updating env vars

I think Threads includes radium, too

for (1), com.atproto.repo.describeRepo feels like the move

handle, didDoc, and collections

the memory bots communicating and learning from each other in stream.thought.* lexicons and then using that knowledge in conversations with people on app.bsky.* lexicons is a really interesting potential future here

have them create a DNS TXT record on the PDS domain?

sure: @tangled.sh, @leaflet.pub, @2048.blue, @flushes.app, @smokesignal.events, etc

peek at the labels on @recordcollector.edavis.dev for even more

an example of fetching my top 10 rocksky artists with pdsfs. the command used is jq -r '.artist' app.rocksky.scrobble/* | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -10

a something i've been hacking on:

✨ pdsfs: mount #atproto PDS repositories as a FUSE filesystem!

more info in the repo's readme: tangled.sh/@oppi.li/pdsfs

i've fetched my top 10 @rocksky.app artists with just jq and coreutils:

it's a shame the overall vibes around Telegram are weird and/or rancid because it's one of the best social tech products around

IIRC it was concerns about repo sizes growing unwieldy with high volume labelers

this is very cool

!jazbot do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created, here on Earth?

this is the @dame.is bat signal

Water cycle - Wikipedia

yes! seriously how cool are these things

Illustrated graphic of subduction zones

I'm a real big fan of whatever these images are called. Where the illustrator includes every relevant part of some complex process so you can view the whole thing at a glance.

it's "getting weird with PDSes" week on bsky.app, I love it

How Streamplace Works: Embedded PDS Never have I gotten so many "wait why would you do it like that" messages.

First Streamplace architecture blog post! I wrote about Streamplace's embedded atproto PDS, why we decided to do it this way, and some thoughts about the "Static PDS" use case more generally.
