  1. piping-server

    Infinitely transfer between every device over pure HTTP with pipes or browsers

    There are some github project which offer free domains if you send them a issue asking them kindly for subdomain iirc

    https://github.com/topics/free-domains

    Another thing, the thing that you mention is really similar to how tor onion links work... Except they offer encryption and prevents MITM/any other ways while still having your ip hidden.

    Another idea which I use sometimes is to use something like cloudflare tunnels or ssh forwarding with things like serveo.net or any ssh based remote forwarding in general like pinggy or even ngrok.

    If you are using this in some internal thing, I can also suggest something like piping server which I really like and I want to build something like a web browser tor-onion links esque but on top of piping server, its really really cool

  3. did-method-plc

    Public Ledger of Credentials: a cryptographic, strongly-consistent, and recoverable DID method

    > It doesn't have to be pretty. It could be a UUID v7 stacked on top of another UUID v7 for all I care but it would be globally unique and available free of cost.

    This is basically where did:plc comes in, for atproto. https://web.plc.directory/ provides free ID numbers. For example, mine is https://plc.directory/did:plc:3danwc67lo7obz2fmdg6jxcr .

    Your domain then uses a txt record to indicate that you want it to be associated with that particular did:plc.

  4. list

    The Public Suffix List

    A free of cost TLD is probably not practical. There are some special things that go along with being a TLD and being in the public suffix list: https://github.com/publicsuffix/list

    If you drop the TLD part though, you can do whatever you want with any domain you want, up to and including handing out free subdomains to anyone who asks. As usual, though, if you try to do this, the dark internet will make you regret it as one day, quite suddenly, you'd find you were hosting the DNS of some massive scam email or other, or any of who-can-even-enumerate ways of making you sorry you put this service up because of their abuse of it. Just like anyone can make a URL redirector, and many people even use it as a sort of "learn this language project" but if you actually put it up online you will rapidly regret it.

    It's a bummer and I'm not celebrating this fact, but, yeah, it's not something you want to do.

  5. overreacted.io

    Personal blog by Dan Abramov.

    Thanks for the nudge, should deploy soon. https://github.com/gaearon/overreacted.io/commit/26d40321dc7...

  6. atproto

    Social networking technology created by Bluesky (with patches for permissions) (by verdverm)

  7. bevy

    A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust

    The AT vs AP issue is full of nuance. Our community has gone back and forth on this: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/18302

  8. indigo

    Go source code for Bluesky's atproto services.

  10. fedify

    ActivityPub server framework in TypeScript

    Wow thanks for the valuable info. Would you recommend, for people who wants to add AP to their existing username/password application?

    We are currently working on something based on https://fedify.dev

    Would you consider that can provide more complete AP functionality?

  11. excalidraw

    Virtual whiteboard for sketching hand-drawn like diagrams

  12. pds

    Bluesky PDS (Personal Data Server) container image, compose file, and documentation

    Interesting. Ok just saw this https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds

    > Self-hosting a Bluesky PDS means running your own Personal Data Server that is capable of federating with the wider ATProto network.

    So pds (personal data server) is like the container where you chose store the data and it follows a certain standard.

    If the container is hosted is bluesky, i still consider it a "bluesky api" but I understand the nuance better now.
