What I’m posting, reading, and building right now, pulled straight from my own data on AT Protocol.

    Unsurprisingly, the new @eurosky.social firehose is much faster for @sifa.id to connect to (compared to the standard bsky firehose) and on-par with the @microcosm.blue firehose (as all 3 are on 🇪🇺 Hetzner servers) Well done team, big wins for atproto independence and decentralization this week! 👏👏👏

    Bar/table comparison of three AT Protocol Jetstream servers tested from a Hetzner Germany VPS. Eurosky (jetstream1.eurosky.network) and microcosm (jetstream2.fr.hose.cam) are both in Germany; Bluesky US (jetstream1.us-east.bsky.network) is in the US. Throughput is identical across all three at about 150 events per second. Real-time lag (how far behind live): Eurosky 2ms, microcosm 1ms, Bluesky US 47ms. WebSocket connect time: Eurosky 37ms, microcosm 25ms, Bluesky US 294ms. All three carry id.sifa records with matching counts. Takeaway: the two EU jetstreams are near-instant; the transatlantic US one is ~45ms laggier and ~10x slower to connect.

    atproto'd my website a bit further (beyond the @standard.site integration): 1) added a "Right now" box on the homage that pulls in all kinds of atproto activity like @bsky.app posts, @popfeed.social film ratings, @bookhive.buzz reads, @tangled.org repo's etc.

    Instead of a "block this user" option, could we have a "notify their mom" option?
