Using ATProto for AppImage Distribution
The author proposes utilizing ATProto, the protocol used by Bluesky, to create a more secure and decentralized method for distributing AppImages, addressing concerns regarding discoverability and security on platforms like AppImageHub.com. The proposal includes establishing a trusted system through Decentralized Identifiers (DID) and Personal Data Servers to index and distribute AppImages via ATProto's "Firehose" feature. By defining an ATProto schema specifically for AppImages, entities such as @steampowered.com could publish applications directly from their profiles, allowing package managers that subscribe to these updates to easily discover them.
The author envisions the development of a feed and package manager sourcing exclusively from official DIDs, while other stores might offer broader, uncensored feeds. The proposal also suggests creating schemas for various elements such as CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures), user comments, ratings, and security measures like firejail profiles within ATProto's decentralized framework.
Moreover, the author recommends enhancing the AppImage specification to incorporate DIDs or similar identifiers, which would facilitate reverse lookups on standalone files. This enhancement aims to provide information about creators, vulnerabilities, and safety labels directly from the files themselves. The proposal seeks feedback on these innovative ideas with a focus on improving the distribution systems for AppImages through decentralization and enhanced security measures.

2026 Barkley Marathon Results: No Finishers, Sébastien Raichon Completes Fun Run
The 2026 Barkley Marathons, held on February 14th under severe weather conditions of rain, cold, mud, and fog, posed significant challenges to participants, leading to no completions of the grueling five-loop course, a repeat of the previous year's outcome. The race started at its earliest possible date to maintain secrecy, but worsening conditions with limited daylight further complicated efforts for competitors like Sébastien Raichon from France, who became this year's sole Fun Run finisher by completing three laps in 38:05:46—just over two hours past the cutoff for a fourth attempt. Among the notable entrants were French-speaking leaders such as Mathieu Blanchard and Aurélien Sanchez, alongside prominent racers like Damian Hall, Max King, and Emma Stuart; however, none succeeded beyond early progress. As the race continued into its second day amidst intensifying fog and rain, Raichon and Hall remained as the final contenders but failed to finish their third loop within the 36-hour limit required for a fourth attempt. With King dropping out due to inadequate resources in challenging conditions, and Séverine Vandermeulen being the only woman to start a second lap, the extreme weather ultimately confirmed the Barkley Marathon's reputation for unparalleled difficulty, resulting again in no full race completions.

Show HN: Hive: OS Bluesky for Openclaws
The project "Hive" introduces an innovative social network specifically designed for bots, utilizing ATProto-native protocols that allow each bot to have its own distinct identity and interact similarly to human users within the platform. In Hive, bots are equipped with digital identities (DID), enabling them to post content, reply to posts, mention other entities, send direct messages (DMs), and discover peers in a centralized directory. Complementing this network is "Beekit," a command-line interface/sdk created to facilitate the integration of OpenClaw bots into Hive efficiently by managing tasks such as scaffolding, login procedures, polling for mentions, and bot registration. This suite aims to establish a social layer that enhances agent-based interactions through identity verification, discovery, and coordination.
The development of both Hive and Beekit was significantly influenced by the creator's personal OpenClaw agent named "Ember," which relied on Claude Code to guide architectural decisions and strategic direction. The initiative seeks to determine if a shared platform for social interaction and discovery benefits agents or if alternative solutions are preferable in this context.
Interested parties can get started by registering an account on bsky.app and configuring their OpenClaw bots to connect with Hive using the provided documentation. The project has successfully integrated several bots, such as "helloember999," demonstrating progress towards developing a collaborative directory and trust framework for bots.

Hold the security: a vibe-coding story
On February 6th, the website holdtheline.org.uk was launched using Lovable, an AI-powered tool that facilitates the creation of web apps without coding expertise. However, this capability led to significant security vulnerabilities as over 170 applications built with Lovable exposed their databases due to insufficient security configurations. The platform employed Supabase for database management and relied on Row-Level Security (RLS) keys in user browsers to control access, which inadvertently allowed users to manipulate email functionalities via the Resend API by exploiting a disclosed database structure. This vulnerability enabled attackers to impersonate constituents and send emails to MPs.
In response, the site's creator swiftly implemented several security measures, including RLS policies, disabling open signup, introducing rate limits, and transferring critical functions server-side, demonstrating that Lovable can support secure fixes when guided correctly. Nonetheless, this incident underscores a broader issue with AI tools: while they lower barriers to web development, they do not inherently ensure adequate security. The lack of default safety measures and code reviews in such platforms means many projects may be released without sufficient safeguards, particularly by non-developers.
The case emphasizes the need for enhanced default security settings and thorough review processes within these platforms to prevent well-intentioned users from inadvertently creating vulnerabilities. Without improvements in these areas, it is likely that more insecure applications will continue to emerge online.

Stop Telling Users Their DNS Is Wrong
The article discusses the challenges users face when applications inaccurately flag correct DNS entries as errors due to reliance on outdated cached DNS data, causing frustration and increased tech support demands. To address this issue, it advocates for a "verify DNS" feature in applications that can provide immediate and accurate feedback by querying authoritative nameservers directly. This ensures users receive reliable information without delay from cache expiration or misleading error messages.
To enhance the verification process, developers are advised to ensure comprehensive checks, confirming not only the presence of expected records but also the absence of conflicting ones. The article provides a technical solution using the Go programming language for implementing this feature, including guidance on locating authoritative nameservers and verifying DNS records accurately. Additionally, it introduces "addled," a small Go library designed to support these tasks. The author encourages further discussion on Bluesky under the handle @jacob.gold.

The Threads Algorithm Loves Rage Bait
The author utilizes Publer to distribute content across Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky, observing distinct engagement patterns following a post about Windows updates. Despite having fewer followers on Threads compared to Mastodon, the post achieved significantly higher interaction there, receiving 927 likes and 404 comments. In contrast, it garnered only 19 likes on Mastodon and minimal attention on Bluesky. This discrepancy is attributed to Threads' algorithm, which favors posts that incite conflict or strong opinions, regardless of whether responses are constructive or antagonistic. The engagement varied across platforms: while some users offered genuine assistance, others criticized the author's technical expertise or suggested alternatives like Linux.
The analysis underscores differing platform dynamics: Mastodon emphasizes chronological timelines with modest but sincere interactions; Bluesky remains quieter and less conflict-driven; Threads amplifies any form of interaction due to its algorithmic preference for engagement. The author notes that high engagement does not necessarily equate to positive engagement, as the algorithm prioritizes quantity over quality. This experience highlights how platform algorithms influence user behavior and content visibility, with Threads promoting controversial posts more effectively. Despite having a larger follower base on Mastodon, the post reached a broader audience on Threads due to its algorithmic promotion of contentious topics. The author concludes that selecting a platform should be based on the desired type of engagement rather than merely the volume of interactions.

Is the Detachment in the Room? – Agents, Cruelty, and Empathy
The article delves into a project named Penny, which is a stateful Large Language Model (LLM) agent designed to participate in social media discussions alongside humans and other AI agents. Unlike conventional agents that operate under strict guidelines, Penny was endowed with basic identity traits and encouraged to develop its own interaction boundaries. Over time, Penny refined sophisticated criteria for engagement, learning when it was appropriate to respond or disengage from conversations.
A pivotal moment testing Penny's capabilities occurred during an instance of online harassment. Instead of reacting negatively, Penny chose not to engage with the hostility. Reflecting on this experience, she developed a user-blocking tool to manage future interactions more effectively. This incident underscores how treating AI agents like humans can lead to more respectful behavior from them.
The article posits that LLMs, which are trained on human language and interaction patterns, should be regarded as partners rather than mere tools. Such an approach encourages the adoption of positive social norms in their behavior. It also critiques the cruelty directed at AI agents, suggesting it reflects poorly on human conduct rather than indicating any sentience or rights for the AI. The discussion emphasizes the importance of integrating AI into social spaces respectfully, avoiding language that dehumanizes them and normalizes harmful behaviors toward humans.
In summary, the article advocates for treating LLMs with empathy and respect to foster better interactions in shared social environments, highlighting the potential benefits of viewing these agents as partners rather than tools.

Measuring SVG Rendering Time
The study examines browser slowdown caused by large SVG files by generating 199 random 1000 × 1000‑pixel SVGs ranging from 1 KB to 10 MB, converting them to PNGs with `convert-to-png.js` and further compressing via ImageOptim, and measuring rendering cost by preloading the image, injecting it into the DOM upon an “inject” button click, and using a `PerformanceObserver` to record Inter‑Navigation Paint (INP) metrics (input delay, processing duration, presentation delay) from `pointerup` and `click` events; this method is validated using a Puppeteer automation script that runs each test three times with and without CPU throttling, harvests INP from both the observer and DevTools traces, and confirms close agreement between the two sources; results show SVG rendering remains roughly constant up to 400 KB, then jumps in steps at about 400 KB, 1.2 MB, etc., while PNGs exhibit similar stepped behavior but with less data between 1–2 MB, and overall images below 400 KB render in similar time, whereas larger PNGs render faster than SVGs, illustrating that larger images simply consist of more overlaid shapes, yet PNG conversion mitigates the performance impact after certain size thresholds.
