iameli··on Ask HN: Why isn't Google indexing information about the AT Protocol?
I'm now getting _this HN article_ as the top Google result for "list of public atproto relays". Weird.

Yes, I "used an incognito window". Yes, I checked on multiple devices. Yes, Google is personalized. Maybe if you search "list of public atproto relays" from East Timor you get lists of public atproto relays. But you sure don't from Seattle right now.

iameli··on Ask HN: Why isn't Google indexing information about the AT Protocol?
Google has indexed both of them, actually, you can search successfully for those two domains directly. They just don't come up when you search for "list of public atproto relays". Any other theories?
iameli··on Ask HN: Why isn't Google indexing information about the AT Protocol?
In the AI overview yeah, but do you see the sites below? I wonder if it's being tuned to prefer generating its own "list of X" implementations and downranking other peoples' lists.
iameli··on Ask HN: Why isn't Google indexing information about the AT Protocol?
Could you link it? Curious to see how buried it is for me. Personalization is one thing but on my results I'm getting Tor relays, Nostr relays, IPFS relays, and Fediverse relays and I haven't yet seen a list of atproto relays. I'm on like page 6 now.
iameli··on Ask HN: Why isn't Google indexing information about the AT Protocol?
Are any of those results a list of public atproto relays?
iameli··on There are no instances in ATProto
Daniel Holmgren discusses this in his really good atproto ethos talk — the P2P networks are cool but incapable of delivering on what users expect from modern social media https://youtu.be/1A-0k58TfPo?si=f_d4uoz_I8kMoKDw
iameli··on There are no instances in ATProto
There are many relays, here's a list of 13 but it's not comprehensive: https://tangled.org/firehose.club/community-firehose-list/bl...

Bluesky's moderation actions are generally implemented as moderation labels which take effect at the AppView level. Sometimes they'll take down someone's PDS or censor from their relays, but I don't believe third-party relays are aware of those relay takedowns at all.

iameli··on There are no instances in ATProto
There are multiple Bluesky AppViews, Blacksky has a totally independent one. And there are multiple relays, each capable of serving a firehose.
iameli··on Show HN: We built a terminal-only Bluesky / AT Proto client written in Fortran
Yep lots! Mine is a livestreaming service: https://stream.place

Also a great blogging platform: https://leaflet.pub

Here's a goal tracker: https://goals.garden

This one just dropped recently; it's 44 different atproto-related apps with a cyberpunk theme: https://www.aetheros.computer/

Lots others mentioned here: https://blueskydirectory.com/

what if I want to publish something publicly on the internet though
iameli··on Open Social
Bluesky is incredibly just "sign up with a thing." Except even easier, because you don't have to pick an instance first.

Is this named after the Protoss Executor Artanis?
iameli··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2025)
Streamplace | Decentralized Video Protocol Engineer | US | Full-Time | REMOTE (Anywhere)

Streamplace is building open-source live video for Bluesky's AT Protocol as part of our mission to solve video for everybody forever. We've recently raised ~$500,000 from the Livepeer Treasury and are building our founding team.

We're in need of someone with a background in decentralized protocols and video technology. You'd be responsible for building and documenting the Streamplace segmentation and replication protocol, building out our GStreamer-based multiplatform node software, and facilitating our rollout to global low-latency platform. Our stack is primarily in Go and React Native.

iameli··on When imperfect systems are good: Bluesky's lossy timelines
I asked this and got

> We did a backend rewrite from postgres to scylla and it has a bunch of deployment specific stuff, but is functionally identical to the open source postgres version. Its not really a "v2" in terms of new features, we just made it make use of our hardware really well[1]

iameli··on Dragonsweeper — A minesweeper game that requires observation
This is really fun.
iameli··on I Met Paul Graham Once
What social justice objective is being prioritized? By whom? Go watch the actual video — it's a flat joke about her not knowing what March Madness is but drinking Bud Lights anyway. It's completely unremarkable influencer #spon content. Her being trans isn't even mentioned.
iameli··on Docker Desktop Broken on Mac OS Update for over a Week
Been using and happy with Podman Desktop for a while now on Mac
iameli··on FFmpeg by Example
"Writing working commands first try for every single ffmpeg feature that exists" is the highest bar I've ever heard of, I love it. I'm gonna start listing it as a requirement on job postings. Like an ffmpeg speedrun.
iameli··on Ask HN: Is GoDaddy lying to me about .tv domains?
Yeah, definitely different output when the domain is actually registered. But maybe the contract with Tuvalu lets them do whatever they want, who knows.
iameli··on IBM nearing a buyout deal for HashiCorp, source says
So... was this the cause of the whole Terraform licensing change kerfuffle?
iameli··on Tell HN: Microsoft.com added 192.168.1.1 to their DNS record
Wait wait wait wait. Bunny.net accidentally changed their DNS to 127.0.0.1 and took a bunch of their CDN users down today too. Coincidence? Weird day.
iameli··on Discord is down
Something seems to be knocking over one server at a time which is sort of fun. Having an end-of-the-world party on one of the remaining shards!
iameli··on YouTube now blocking ad block
YouTube, if you're so smart, just show me the ad instead of the overlay!
iameli··on USB-C head-to-head comparison

The donoteat video on this is really informative if (like me) you haven't been taught most of this history - Black Wall Street and whatnot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfVzbM3l7RQ
iameli··on Our new flagship distro: Fedora Asahi Remix
How does saying that they have been consistently harassed from this platform paint everyone here with the same brush?
iameli··on Reddit’s blackout protest is set to continue indefinitely
The biggest Reddit communities are in open rebellion. Twitter is, charitably, a mess. Twitch started taking a full 50% of the revenue of their top creators, who are furious.

What's going on? What's the bigger trend that's causing all these platforms to go so user-hostile?

iameli··on Meta fined $1.3B over data transfers to U.S.
Pretty funny the WSJ is paywalling this, here's the present content in its entirety:

> Facebook owner Meta Platforms was fined $1.3 billion by European Union privacy regulators for sending user information to the U.S., according to people familiar with the matter, a record for the bloc.

> The ruling, expected to be announced later Monday, raises pressure on the U.S government to finalize a deal that would allow Meta and thousands of multinational companies to keep sending such information stateside.

> Updates to follow as news develops.

iameli··on Apple will use 100 percent recycled cobalt in batteries by 2025
I'm sympathetic to waterproofing concerns about easily-swappable batteries but this is definitely why Right-to-Repair is incredibly important
