Cheaper than it is now! I think it was about $1100 at the time, definitely the most expensive part of the whole setup

I've also done a full network replica (all the data indexed in a postgres) on a raspberry pi (with an 8tb nvme attached via a hat). Its really not expensive to do . And if I wanted to drop data older than say 3 months, it would be even

The default pds packaging takes care of SSL, but thats not a requirement, just something we try to make easy for users. Also at:// URIs are of the form at://DID/..., and your human readable handle is bound to your D

fwiw, the Knuth quote is "premature optimizations are the root of all evil"

I tend to agree with this, thats why theres canonical URIs for atproto posts that are agnostic to the hosting provider. The format is at://DID/collection/recordKey. These are used throughout the system, for example if yo

It's possible, and we've talked about it, but it would take a good amount of work (as would any 'correct' solution), so we have punted on properly solving DMs for a bit. I know Matthew has been very interested in working

yeah it works fine on bare metal, you'll just have to do a bit more set up work yourself (https terminating and such). The installer script should be instructive in how to run it but you'll have to figure out the BSD specific stuf

currently we support ed25519 and secp256k1 for signing, adding more key types isnt terribly hard, but does require coordination (everyone has to support it otherwise posts signed with that key type won't get propagated)

The most straightforward way to fully use the network without trusting us at all would be to have your identity backed by a did:web, and run your own PDS. From there your posts will be indexed by our appView and you can see them in the app.

"Kinda" and "Soon", the soon part is that interactions with the site are signed by a key thats usually held for you by your PDS (Personal Data Server), this month we are opening things up more so you can run your own PDS

no this actually is moving every single user currently on the service into this setup. Everyone gets their own sqlite under the hood.

While I totally get where you’re coming from, its a bit of an unfair question, “how are you going to do the thing you are attempting to do??” Is hard to answer without just saying “watch and see”, but ill try. From a technical perspective t
