Profile of Johannes Koch, Bluesky handle @lockhead.dev, showing his AWS Hero label
It took a bit, but we now have the first verified #AWSHero, @lockhead.dev! If you are an #AWSHero yourself or know anyone who might want to get that label, it's very easy at verifiedbsky.net
Should now be fixed and the label added again. Also FYI @danielroe.dev @ba.4bes.nl @foosel.net @leonardomontini.dev @jesstemporal.com @end3r.bsky.social @eliostruyf.com @santoshyadav.dev @colbyfayock.com @julio.arruda.io @whitep4nth3r.com @dirk.lemstra.org @jan.ohmyposh.dev @funbucket.dev
Thanks, the same for you!
Yes, that's a known issue at the moment, hope to fix it over the next days. Sorry for the automated removal. I tried to reset it, but somehow failed to do it properly 🙁
Thanks to great input by @bmarwell.de, verified bluesky now also supports Apache Foundation Member verification 🥳 Thanks a lot!
With the same update, I have also removed support for conference verification as there was very limited demand by organizers and speakers
I am in direct contact with @bazlur.ca
It's a bit tricky if you changed you account name, but I'll try to fix that manually. In the future, I plan to also store the DID which doesn't change even if the account name changes, so I know how to reach out
Since today re-verification of accounts verified on verifiedbsky.net is happening. Every week, each account is checked if the verification still is ok. If it fails twice, a notification DM is sent. If it fails 4 times, the label is removed and the account is removed from all lists.
Thanks for helping out here @lobaorn.bsky.social!
Yes, would love it!
On to the next verification source: #IBMChampions can now also use verifiedbsky.net to get a verification badge! See for example how @richard.fichtner.dev has used it below 😊
To all the #AWSHeroes out there: You can now use verifiedbsky.net to get an "AWS Hero" badge! Give it a try and let me know if anything fails
Let me know when the link is there, then I'll build it
If you have other ideas, let me know here or create a request via github.com/tfenster/ver...
Nice, @verifiedbsky.net has added a whole bunch of verification, including Oracle ACEs, in addition to Java champions…
If you want to learn about the infrastructure behind this tool, check the blog post below
Let me know! Easiest would be a request here github.com/tfenster/ver...
On to the next one! @colorcloudrocks.bsky.social speakers can now also verify, get a nice badge for their profile and appear on the corresponding list bsky.app/profile/veri... and starter pack bsky.app/starter-pack...
And we are a) back online (thanks to the amazing @fermyon.com team for an incredibly fast bugfix and release) and b) happy to share a new feature: Cloud Technology Townhall Tallinn (cloudtechtallinn.com) speakers can now verify themselves as well! If you run a conference and want the same, reach out
Something's coming soon...
Because of a technical limitation in the @fermyon.com cloud, I had to move the backend and took the opportunity to finally get a good DNS name: You can find the tool from now on at verifiedbsky.net!
If you want to understand how to contribute new verification sources, read the blog post below
If you are interested in contributing to my little Bluesky verification tool, this blog post should get you started: tobiasfenster.io/how-to-contr.... Based on @vscode.dev #devcontainers, it is quite easy.
A screenshot showing the number of users for the different verification sources, coming to a total of 500
We made it to 500 verified profiles! Thanks to all of you who went through the process 🎉
Can I ask you to fill in a verification source request here github.com/tfenster/ver...
It seems like I need to log in here. Is there any public way to get that information? Can I ask you to fill in a verification source request here github.com/tfenster/ver...
Thanks for your feedback and patience!
You only need to put in your ID, so the part after the last /. In your case, just neilchandler
Sorry, I made this more complicated than it needed to be... Now you can just enter whatever comes after the last / in your profile URL, no matter whether it ends in numbers or not. Can you please try again?
