IOSP community day, Wed 14 Oct, 10:00: Leiden Breadcrumbs Tour, starting at the Fletcher Wellness Hotel. We walk, tap a breadcrumb at each stop, and every tap becomes a signed record in your own repo. Phone only. Join us! Map: www.iosp.science/community-day
Part 2 is the toolcase talk: computational trust in five minutes, and why the taps are the data. #IOSP2026
The write-up for next week's @atproto.science / @scios.tech workshop in Leiden is up, in two parts. Part 1: what a breadcrumb is and how you can start your trail at the workshop. π

that's the pitch behind CoCore Berlin (Foresight RFP, local compute) β real community energy, aimed at real local impact and funding, please clap. ππ
β οΈ the trap: more locally specific felt like it'd land better β but going deeper (found MTS, a GDR-era version of shared farm machinery) surfaced real political history most people don't have. more local isn't automatically safer. we kept it purely structural, not political.
a Maschinenring lets farmers share expensive machinery instead of everyone buying their own. "So wie ein Maschinenring, nur fΓΌr Rechenleistung/KI." Hope this helps bridge our vocabularies β turns out we need theirs, not the other way around. π
here's the actual plan for reaching people outside this bubble: avoiding atmospheric jargon, finding what their own field already has. German farmers have had this for decades: the Maschinenring. ππ€
the "you wouldn't infer on a tractor" meme from @cocore.dev, and @devingaffney.com calling my email "one of the wildest emails I have ever received" β that's the community energy I'm grateful for. kinda what got this thread started ππ€π±
Three separate ATProto identities, each serving a different role: 1. issuer.breadcrumbs.id β badge-issuer authority. Self-hosted, own Tranquil PDS. 2. breadcrumbs.run β tangled.org forge/runner identity. Hosted on Tangled. 3. breadcrumbs.network β social/community identity. Hosted on Eurosky.
New here: breadcrumbs, an attestation layer for scientific & ecosystem contributions on AT Protocol. Decay is a feature β named for the story where the birds ate the trail. First tenant: CoCore Attractor β a dynamical-systems attractor, and a tractor, same word. breadcrumbs.network
One of the wildest emails I have ever received
