Fascinated by this lightweight replacement for Caddy or Nginx: su3.io/posts/introd...
• Serves a static website straight from a .tar file
• Config and dynamic programs done by userspace eBPF modules (sandbox tech from the Linux kernel)
• Redeploy with SIGHUP
I wrote a custom Bluesky feed!
It's a classifier trained my past likes. As a bonus, I got to learn more about recommender systems ("RecSys").

Whatsapp is critical communication infrastructure in Europe. Made by a US company but with more customers in the EU. Regulation thus gets weird!

Like payment infrastructure (Visa/Mastercard/Apple Pay), EU could benefit from more digital sovereignty.
A few takeaways:
- Recommender algorithms (YouTube, X, etc) mostly ignore your subscriptions/follows/etc for pretty good reason
- I had to deprogram myself from liking posts as a social gesture
- The "cold start" problem is a challenge
But I really like the feed. I use Bluesky a lot more as a result.
Full speaker list is live.
Really happy with the breadth of topics this year! Local models, game development, homelab setups, open social protocols... plus the classics like malleable software, sync, and tools for thought.

okay who's building standard.reader? I want to replace rss and wallabag
- follow my subscriptions, rss or standardsite
- save a to-read list (also for any article type, readability.js-ified)
- annotate via margin records
- save / connect with semble
- share with skyreader
- works offline
