A 'Hello World' for bluesky/the AT protocol

I’ve documented my baby steps with the protocol below with a few examples - essentially: authenticate, post a “Hello World!” skeet, then reply to that skeet (no, I don’t know why they’re referred to as “skeets”), and get some author information. I’ve done these initial experiments with Postman/cURL, so that I didn’t have to faff around with setting up any sort of language or framework tooling. After all, it is just HTTPS. Hopefully you can translate them into your tool of choice.
This could probably serve as a documentation of the Bluesky API.

Docker Monitoring with Prometheus: A Step-by-Step Guide

This guide walks you through setting up Docker monitoring using Prometheus and Grafana, helping you track container performance and resource usage with ease.

Among the many guides out there for deploying Prometheus and Grafana, this is the one that actually worked.

Although, whether I’ll keep this in the long run is another question.

How to install Mastodon in docker (even easier imo, 2024)

A step-by-step guide on installing Mastodon via Docker, configuration tailored especially for 2024
I’m not sure if I still want this, considering that Mastodon takes up so much resources. Gotosocial alone is a little bloated for my taste, worse I suppose will be Mastodon.

Getting A Local Mastodon Setup In Docker - These Yaks Ain’t Gonna Shave Themselves

This is the first in probably a series of posts as I dig into the technical aspects of mastodon. My goal is to get a better understanding of the design of ActivityPub and how mastodon itself is designed to use ActivityPub. Eventually I want to learn enough to maybe do some hacking and create some of the experiences I want that mastodon doesn’t support today.

The first milestone is just getting a mastodon instance set up on my laptop.
