I'm now getting _this HN article_ as the top Google result for "list of public atproto relays". Weird.
Yes, I "used an incognito window". Yes, I checked on multiple devices. Yes, Google is personalized. Maybe if you search "list of public atproto relays" from East Timor you get lists of public atproto relays. But you sure don't from Seattle right now.
Google has indexed both of them, actually, you can search successfully for those two domains directly. They just don't come up when you search for "list of public atproto relays". Any other theories?
In the AI overview yeah, but do you see the sites below? I wonder if it's being tuned to prefer generating its own "list of X" implementations and downranking other peoples' lists.
Could you link it? Curious to see how buried it is for me. Personalization is one thing but on my results I'm getting Tor relays, Nostr relays, IPFS relays, and Fediverse relays and I haven't yet seen a list of atproto relays. I'm on like page 6 now.
Are any of those results a list of public atproto relays?

I've been observing this for a while, where very basic queries about atproto stuff doesn't show up. But yesterday I found a query that makes it VERY obvious: "list of public atproto relays". Here's DuckDuckGo:1. https://firehose.directory2. https://atproto.at/relays3. https://atproto.wiki/en/wiki/reference/core-architecture/relay4. https://pulsar.feeds.blue5....
There are many relays, here's a list of 13 but it's not comprehensive:
https://tangled.org/firehose.club/community-firehose-list/bl...Bluesky's moderation actions are generally implemented as moderation labels which take effect at the AppView level. Sometimes they'll take down someone's PDS or censor from their relays, but I don't believe third-party relays are aware of those relay takedowns at all.
There are multiple Bluesky AppViews, Blacksky has a totally independent one. And there are multiple relays, each capable of serving a firehose.
what if I want to publish something publicly on the internet though
Bluesky is incredibly just "sign up with a thing." Except even easier, because you don't have to pick an instance first.
Is this named after the Protoss Executor Artanis?

What social justice objective is being prioritized? By whom? Go watch the actual video — it's a flat joke about her not knowing what March Madness is but drinking Bud Lights anyway. It's completely unremarkable influencer #spon content. Her being trans isn't even mentioned.

"Writing working commands first try for every single ffmpeg feature that exists" is the highest bar I've ever heard of, I love it. I'm gonna start listing it as a requirement on job postings. Like an ffmpeg speedrun.

Following up on this submission. I used the example of "Smell.tv" in that post, the one I'm actually looking for is Aquarium.tv. Who cares. Snipe it from me if you want, I'm probably not buying it after all this anyway. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41393638HN, help me out here: *Is Aquarium.tv registered or not*? Because the NIC.tv WHOIS service operated by GoDaddy says it's a "Reserved...
Yeah, definitely different output when the domain is actually registered. But maybe the contract with Tuvalu lets them do whatever they want, who knows.

I'm looking at buying a .tv domain. Let's say, for example, it's smell.tv. I did a search on whois.nic.tv, and the following comes up for smell.tv: Reserved Domain Name
URL of the ICANN Whois Inaccuracy Complaint Form: https://www.icann.org/wicf/
>>> Last update of WHOIS database: 2024-08-29T17:48:44Z <<<
So... reserved by the registry, yeah? Like a premium domain...
So... was this the cause of the whole Terraform licensing change kerfuffle?
Wait wait wait wait. Bunny.net accidentally changed their DNS to 127.0.0.1 and took a bunch of their CDN users down today too. Coincidence? Weird day.
Something seems to be knocking over one server at a time which is sort of fun. Having an end-of-the-world party on one of the remaining shards!
YouTube, if you're so smart, just show me the ad instead of the overlay!
How does saying that they have been consistently harassed from this platform paint everyone here with the same brush?
