I’m bad at socials. #catsofbluesky was an obvious omission

Lazy duvet day, staying away from #Darragh with Brooklyn 99. #caturday #cat

Wait I might be a dumdum. Although I want to try it myself now

Green lights, green tree is a vibe I’ve never imagined before

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site.

Gauges: total_signatures

Better late than never. Are there any #prometheus nerds out there who are also UK politics enjoyers? I’m scraping the General Election petition into Prometheus, and want to do some fun queries and graphs. But my promql knowledge is abysmal.

Pls help. Gauges are in the reply.

Man I love messy patterned brown and orange cats ❤️

Also works with bags!

BUT THIS IS COCO TOO. 👋

Ah no! It means you can set your username to be the same as your website :)

I’m sorry to anyone who followed me because of my takes on verification on Bluesky.

I’m mostly about cat pictures, sometimes DevOps.

But predominantly this idiot.

I pretend like I have other photos on my phone, but in reality, it’s cats all the way down

Also, the cats here are cooler. Just saying. #orange #CatsOfBluesky

I’ll tell you what. I didn’t expect Bluesky 🦋 to so completely fill the niche that Xitter 🐦 used to occupy.

I feel just as caught up as I used to, just with fewer crypto bros and Nazis. Is cool.

You could buy a domain (ie. thesmilingboi.com) and have it redirect to your twitch channel (like www.namecheap.com/support/know...)

But it’d be sensible to mention that domain on your twitch profile, otherwise anyone could do it.

Idk. This whole thing is a bit complex thinking about it

| Knowledge | Directnic Directnic makes registering Domain Names fast, simple, and affordable. Find out why so many business owners chose Directnic to be their Domain Name Registrar.

Your dns provider’s documentation seems like dogshit, but this may help you: directnic.com/knowledge#/k...

That’s my kind of nerding.

I went for tom.whi.tw/ell for my website.

To your question: follow the Bluesky guide, but when you’re creating the dns record, set it for ‘ha’, not ‘@‘

Domain Verification - Email Hosting with Zoho To ensure you have the privileges to manage your domain for email hosting, you will be required to add a unique TXT/CNAME record to your DNS records.

Even better would be a page like this (with the per-provider pages): www.zoho.com/mail/help/ad...

That could also be used with my proposed ‘DNS provider discovery’ system above.

Probably worth doing scheduled reviews on these pages, and adding a “this looks like it’s outdated” button to each

Reading this over, it’s still a bit too techy for ‘normies’.

I presume y’all are going to work on this going forward, but perhaps you could add a bit to the validation flow where you detect the NS and signpost users to their documentation (obv only for major providers)

This is what I’m using at the moment: bsky.app/profile/book... you report the post to the bookmark service and it creates a private list.

It’s a bit janky though, @bsky.app needs to do something first party for this

🙏

Hello @thegreenparty.bsky.social Could you please sort out the above ASAP to avoid potential impersonation?

@libdems.org.uk thank you for doing this already!

Reminds me of the noise complaints from people who decide to move close to airports that were built 80+ years ago, and are then OUTRAGED that they can hear planes taking off and landing.

BREAKING NEWS: Pubs are loud at night. Choosing to live near a pub means that you will often hear pub-related noise at night.

At 20:00, join us for our other big story of today: Aeroplanes have been heard by residents near Gatwick Airport!

😮‍💨

THANK YOU

@thenewsagents.com @lewisgoodall.com you did it! 😃

Wondered where Rocky had gone. Turns out he’s set up a tent in the Moses basket and is protesting against his incoming new sibling.

“I’m just a baby”

Yep! Good spot! Was convinced it was another blog post! Thanks, friend!

Agreed. I feel like some hand-holding documentation would be super helpful for less tech-savvy people.

I wonder if there’s some prior art for registrar discovery -> provider-specific documentation. I think I remember a similar flow from a few years ago. Maybe.
