I joined in saying the craters on the moon are where space mice eat the cheese. Now I’m starting to believe it’s made of cheese.27 Apr 2026 20:05 +0000at://did:plc:dadhhalkfcq3gucaq25hjqon/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkiuleusrs26https://blacksky.community/profile/willdot.net/post/3mkit5ate3c22 just configured my pds.env for my account to look to my appview appview.willdot.xyz which has only the well known endpoint implemented. When I looked at the Bluesky app, my following feed still worked, but the other feeds did not. Why did the following feed still work when not implemented? 🤔 https://appview.willdot.xyz27 Apr 2026 19:39 +0000at://did:plc:dadhhalkfcq3gucaq25hjqon/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkit5ate3c22https://blacksky.community/profile/willdot.net/post/3mkg5q4t66k2aRust help please. Using the following library, on this line of code in the example, how would I pass in a string that comes from an environment variable? I don’t want a hardcoded web did. I’m all over the place trying to figure out strings, str, static etc 🫠 https://tangled.org/nonbinary.mom/jacquard/blob/main/crates/jacquard-axum/src/service_auth.rs#L2526 Apr 2026 18:11 +0000at://did:plc:dadhhalkfcq3gucaq25hjqon/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkg5q4t66k2ahttps://blacksky.community/profile/willdot.net/post/3mkdplf473d2mRemember when?

It’s a very interesting space and problem that I’m glad is getting some attention and love.

Even though I'm only tracking x amount of DIDs for a couple of collections, is it still consuming the entire firehose and then only firing the events I've told it I care about to my application?23 Apr 2026 20:07 +0000at://did:plc:dadhhalkfcq3gucaq25hjqon/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk6stoay4s2shttps://blacksky.community/profile/willdot.net/post/3mjum7xlf7k2jI might build an appview of just the people I follow so that should there be a repeat of the great appview outage of 2026, I can still see things.

It’s challenging my brain which is fun. But I can’t help but think I’m doing something wrong. Feel like I’m just hacking it together without any real structure. I’ve looked at other repos and I’m not seeing any “patterns” of how things are structured. Am I missing something!23 Apr 2026 06:49 +0000at://did:plc:dadhhalkfcq3gucaq25hjqon/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk5gauh6es2lhttps://blacksky.community/profile/willdot.net/post/3mk3ordozwk2fFor those of you who use Tap, what kinda resource usage are you seeing? I'm trying to run it on my 4GB Pi3, tracking 337 repos and filtering collections by app.bsky.feed.post,app.bsky.graph.*. I'm seeing up to 2.5GB of memory used. Is that because it pulls entire repos down when first tracking?22 Apr 2026 14:16 +0000at://did:plc:dadhhalkfcq3gucaq25hjqon/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk3ordozwk2fhttps://blacksky.community/profile/willdot.net/post/3mk3kjsc2ys2vDebug22 Apr 2026 13:00 +0000at://did:plc:dadhhalkfcq3gucaq25hjqon/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk3kjsc2ys2vhttps://blacksky.community/profile/willdot.net/post/3mjzxoelhpk2qTap is the shiz!
