It's pre-alpha: be gentle, check it out!

Post about the spring weather is followed by post about Java Spring.

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

That was probably the most widely reported outage in recent times. @reports.blu.ski

Attention PDS devs! We merged a lexicon change last week increasing the max image upload for Bluesky posts from 1 MB to 2 MB. This rolled out to our PDSs instances last Friday.

We'll begin enabling this in the Bluesky app soon. If your PDS implementation is still validating at 1 MB, plz update! ✌️

microcosm.blue/eat-rocks Restore a rocks database from object storage

did it. direct-from-object-storage backup restore for rocksdb.

this should make it *much* less painful (and way faster) to launch a new constellation instance from the public backups.

PDS MOOver: The mobile app? Questionnaire to help shape the direction of PDS MOOver's mobile app

Hey y'all! One of the things I took from #AtmosphereConf was that there's still a hole to fill to make it easier for users to back up their identities and that something like a mobile app may do that. So if you're interested, please take a bit of time to answer the questions to help shape that app.

lol, that would be P.L.C
