Great to see a new author up on the @atproto.com@bsky.brid.gy, and @thisismissem.social@bsky.brid.gyEmelia no less! It's incredibly exciting to see support for her work in general, and specifically around bringing FedCM and ATProto/ActivityPub closer together. atproto.com/blog/working...

Working to Decentralize FedCM ...

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/116123045901085983

In general I think people who don't work in infrastructure (which both Emelia and I do):

1. Don't think about where things run enough.
2. Dramatically underestimate the costs involved.
3. Dramatically underestimate the _savings_ involved from sharing infrastructure.

There are always tradeoffs, and also: you can often paint yourself into a corner thinking something will work a particular way and then seeing how poorly it scales.

I'm super hyped to announce that Bluesky Socal PBC has given me a grant to work on the Federated Credential Management (or FedCM) standards to make them really work for all decentralized web applications.

This is why I stepped up to be an Invited Expert with the W3C FedID Working Group earlier in the year. The missing part at that time was "how do I fund this work?" so I'm super happy that Bluesky Social PBC really came through with a grant to fund this work.

A really interesting thing that Bluesky Social PBC did here was they could have said "just make this work for AT Protocol" but instead they said "make this work for the entire decentralized web", and the contract explicitly states I should be working with the IndieAuth, Solid and other communities interested in federated and decentralized identity to make this happen.

Heeey, look, it's me! I'm super hyped to announce that @bsky.app@bsky.brid.gyBluesky have given me a grant to work on the standards for the Federated Credential Management API (or FedCM) to make them really work for all decentralized web applications.

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously.

To be clear: Signal’s encryption and infrastructure have not been compromised and remain robust. These attacks were executed via sophisticated phishing campaigns, designed to trick users into sharing information – SMS codes and/or Signal PIN – to gain access to users’ accounts.

Over the last few weeks, I focused on removing overhead from the request hot path in Django Bolt. The results from v0.6.4 → v0.7.0 are honestly better than I expected. I remember when I put 60k RPS in GitHub README because that was the maximum I was able to get from this. Now the same endpoint under the same condition achieves 160k RPS.

Here is how I did it.

Politické okénko oslím můstkem spojené s včerejším MDŽ.

tl;dr: pro letošní komunálky v Brně máme boží kandidátku, kterou povedou tři zajímavé ženy, viz tiskovka: https://zelenebrno.cz/zeleni-postavi-do-cela-kandidatky-pro-brno-trojici-zen/

Celý příběh: měl jsem tu možnost spolupracovat na tvoření zeleného projektu pro Brno a teda, je to fuška. Piráti se rozhodli jít s Fakt Brno (aka Brno autem / ODS light), takže myšlenka na velkou liberálně-občanskou koalici umřela hned na startu. Co bylo dál? Hledání zajímavých osobností, které se bohužel protáhlo o dost víc, než jsme chtěli.

Ale nakonec to dobře dopadlo: máme super nové lidi, kteří zároveň můžou těžit z podpory zkušených zastupitelů. Jedničkou Natálie Vencovská, mladá designérka se zkušenostmi z Dánska (a nyní na JICu); dvojkou Jana Drápalová, dlouholetá uznávaná starostka Nového Lískovce, trojkou Kristýna Fuchsová, právnička, která pomohla rozplést korupční kauzy na Brně Střed. A skvělá je i čtyřka - Jirka "Jiřina" Malenovský, majitel Vegalité a šéf Brněnské asociace clubové hudby.
