:)) I cannot believe this that there are already other PDS's running. I thought that part is incomplete and we're not able to use it. Silly me. Yea I'll appreciate an invite to implement the custom PDS feature.

Yeah for sure. Thereโ€™s no DMs here so whatโ€™s the best place for me to send an invite @arta.bsky.social ?

To be fair, if thereโ€™s one thing that would be truly improved by a blockchain system it would be DNS. So itโ€™s not prima facie evident that such an effort is in bad faith.

Agreed. See the latest ICANN / Verisign proposal?

Its a genuine exploration of self sovereign identity for us. The Handshake community has been experimenting with an open root namespace, backwards compatible with DNS, for several years now. For context, Iโ€™m an active HNS contribute and also run theshake.xyz, a Handshake news and data service.

Handshake is backwards compatible with DNS and we wanted to run a server as an experiment for the HNS community. We didnโ€™t intend for it to get this much attention. Invites are to Stems are now closed.

Yup just a PDS. On DNS, normally no, but weโ€™ve extra config to resolve Handshake domains.

Working on a redesign of my Handshake registrar. This is the soon to be old design.

After a year of registry work and a recent short vacay in Santa Monica, Iโ€™ve been rejuvenated and inspired.

What provider did you have to shorten the TXT record for, out of curiousity?

21.04.2023 13:22 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Odd if itโ€™s the same name providerโ€ฆ

In some cases the provider appends the domain name in the background so you have to put _atproto instead of _atproto.alice.com

New ICANN and Verisign proposal would let any government usurp registrars and seize domain names, illustrating the case for Handshake and a neutral root zone.

I was inspired by Phil's tweet, so I decided to hack together a little project: Skyline ๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Skyline allows you to create your own AI algo-feeds, OR use one of our pre-defined feeds. Try it out: https://skyline.gay (the domain was at a discount ๐Ÿ˜‚)

The old answer used to be just donโ€™t follow those folks but maybe the new answer is to find the server that best fits your vibe
