we've got champagne taste but a lite beer budget

I just happened to be in nyc today so I went to see if I could see the billboard but I think I missed it 🥲

how long will this be up for? I won't be back in nyc until monday

being human is the most inconvenient thing I've experienced

privacy isn't profitable

wonder if I could pick @redsolver.dev's brain on how index, backfill, and requests work under-the-hood

in all likelihood though, it's back to days of reading docs and source code 🥲

honest to god, I feel like I need a phd to understand and implement a custom feed… not keen on using the template repo (it seems old and bloated to me)

already using @skyfeed.app and it works, but it's missing some needed filtering options (plus our use-case requires search—no good api for that)

really I was only interested in exploring self-hosting since I have an idea for an atproto project that might require it, but that's a story for another day

it could've worked, but with much effort no doubt

in hindsight it would've made more sense to use a subdomain… I just don't think the effort of self-hosting was worth it for me (don't get me started on email verification)

the painless approach is fine for now, maybe I can try again in the future

joined bluesky last month and tried self-hosting a single-user pds… I'd HIGHLY discourage anyone from doing the same

at least when using one apex domain for pds, handle, and website (it was more of a headache than I think it was worth)

maybe it's an unreasonable ask but that's my ocd for you

bruh
