You know you're designing a good website when Claude has to look up arXiv preprints to figure out how to render it.

I get sufficient impetus / dopamine to update the ePrint author list for cryptography.social and @eprint.ing.bot roughly every 6 months 😅 This time I got through the bot's notifications just in time for Eurocrypt (which I'd planned to attend, but plans changed). I hope everyone is having fun there! https://cryptography.social/

Finally got the ADHD dopamine wall above my project table correctly Tetrised 😁 Art from @iahfy.bsky.social, @blushyspicy.bsky.social, @qtori.art, @kajin.bsky.social, @defconscavhunt.bsky.social, and @nasawebb.extwitter.link.

Hi! If you're seeing this in your report queue, the report was likely created by someone using my labeler conformance testing tool. These tests always use an "other" reasonType if available. To ignore them, filter on this reason pattern: atproto-devtool conformance test <16-hex-char> https://tangled.org/str4d.xyz/atproto-devtool

Time from buying the domain to actually using it: just under two years this time! For now I'm starting simple: just a single "No fucks left to give" badge you can set. Suggest other statuses below and I'll consider adding the popular ones! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Hey #atproto developers! (Great time to post this lol) I've published a Rust multitool intended to help developers write atproto apps and services: cargo install atproto-devtool First tool is a conformance test for labelers / moderation services: atproto-devtool test labeler https://tangled.org/str4d.xyz/atproto-devtool

Prior to yesterday, I'd encountered AI output in the wild (search results, reviewing AI code), but I'd avoided using AI myself. Yesterday I had an idea for a project. I knew I had the skills to implement it myself, but not the dopamine. Let's see how well a 2026-era AI does at coding from scratch.

The latter of these was implemented (as an experimental feature) ages ago: Settings -> Content and media -> Following feed preferences -> Show samples of your saved feeds in your Following feed I'd love the default feed be a mix of Following, Discover, and your chosen feeds, with toggles for each.

Just finished handing off the last of my work, and I'm now on sabbatical! I'm taking a break to breathe and let my brain unwind after a decade of sprinting (often too fast). I have a few ideas for once I inevitably get bored out of my skull 😅 Retro-computing in particular: expect @siso.dev updates!

Finally opened my shiny new @commodoreofficial.bsky.social C64 Founders Edition! By which I mean I immediately opened the chassis because there was a loose screw rattling around inside 😅 Fortunately, no "warranty void if opened" stickers in sight! This is clearly meant to be loved and hacked on 👨‍💻🌏

Fantastic London show tonight @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social. You said exactly what needed to be said, and lifted our spirits as you did so.
