Interesting… [PDS on SQLite] 🤔
That has actually been pretty bad for us. It’s made the machines hard to move and the backup story is more brittle than a native distributed storage would offer

A serious Linux kernel vulnerability announced yesterday may impact PDS self-hosters.
CVE-2026-98432 involves mptcp connections, which the Caddy HTTP proxy enables by default.
An updated container disabling this has been publishes and will auto-deploy to PDS instances in coming hours.

My PR to the PDS to move from IP rate limit for blob uploads to the user's DID just merged 🥳.
This means backend services are no longer limited to 1k blob uploads per PDS, and is limited to 1k per user. This will allow PDS MOOver to do a upload queue for larger accounts in the future.

feat: change the uploadBlob endpoint to use DID by fatfingers23 · Pull Request #4748 · bluesky-social/atproto
Since the uploadBlob endpoint is an authenticated endpoint we have access to the user's did and can use that as a key along with the ip for rate limits. This would help with backends that do la...

We want to see every platform - Instagram, LinkedIn, X among others - adopt a personal data server (PDS) as the repository of user data and connections. Users would be free to use their PDS with any application they wish, opening up the social web to real choice and competition.

"Host a PDS from SQLite" statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged.
I like sqlite
Plus if you're using like SQLModel or something it's a pretty good time. I made a whole RAG system with it and it's still in use [somewhere].
Kind of interested in the problems with hosting a PDS from it

"Host a PDS from SQLite" statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged.
My fall 2026 "atmosphere for layfolk" update:
PDS (repo) -> Internet Account
PDS (host) -> Account Service Provider
Appview -> Content Service
DID -> Internet phone number
Record/Lexicon -> file/file type
PDS (repo) -> Internet Account
PDS (host) -> Account Service Provider
Appview -> Content Service
DID -> Internet phone number
Record/Lexicon -> file/file type
Given the response we’ve seen to Dan’s essay, I feel more confident in this metaphor. But I feel dissonance stemming from atproto terminology – PDS, lexicons, repos, records, collections, and app views are coined by developers, for developers.
The foundation of personal computing is the filesystem.
The foundation of the internet is a networked filesystem.
The foundation of a new social web will likely be a social filesystem. (It remains an ope question if atproto is such a foundation)

One of the downstream effects OAuth is that appview can sit in between the client and the PDS and it seems we're moving towards from that direction (I curate this discourse since it's such a crucial topic).

Huh. There is a new, beta version of a unified Planetary Data System interface. The PDS is the repository for all NASA science mission data. I haven't explored the interface yet, but it'll be interesting to do as I search for images for illustrating articles! pds.mcp.nasa.gov

![[0.3.0.beta4] – 2026-11-03 #
at the end of authentication that started with a PDS URL, verify that the received DID belongs to that PDS
revoke received tokens if after authentication the DID or PDS doesn't match the previously known value
check if the known PDS matches before doing a token refresh
fixed decryption code accepting encrypted data with truncated tags
fixed token refresh failing if some originally requested scopes were not granted (e.g. email access)
fixed token refresh losing the old refresh token if it wasn't actually replaced
improved validation of token exchange & token refresh response, and client & resource/authorization server metadata
added #granted_scope, #has_limited_scope? and #can_be_revoked? to Session
added option to explicitly revoke access/refresh tokens on the server when deleting a session, with delete_session(id, revoke: true)
require the ATPROTO_MASTER_KEY to be exactly 32 bytes long (or 44 Base64 characters)
require https:// URLs in DPoP client and nonce manager (since resource servers / PDSes and authorization servers need to be on HTTPS)
reject token responses with the OpenID id_token field
when loading a session, verify that it has been created with the same client_id
ignore the redirect URI's port when testing if the redirect URI passed for authentication for a localhost client is included on the metadata list (as the spec says)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oio4hkxaop4ao4wz2pp3f4cr/bafkreieju7aibe6p4g6xxvqryxjb7njn2siwlslpij4n22xzmpdzjy76t4)

imagine if atproto services and websites would gracefully degrade onto alternative appviews and then degrade further to fetching straight from the pds? and imagine if we didn’t treat fetching from the pds as an evil thing
