The entirety of provenance v2 and the provisio cloud service has been built managing agents in the Freeq IRC by @chadfowler.com running using herdr in boxd.sh VMs and deployed on miren.dev . Just updated the CI for the repos to publish the provenance records on AT Proto on merges to main

This is 47. It’s 24,703,200 minutes. It’s 27 years with an amazing partner. It’s 15 years of being a dad and 11 of being a dad to two. It’s 15 jobs. It’s knowing tomorrow is a gift and that we should cherish the time we have. It’s a life.

Miren v0.17 is out! Elixir and Phoenix apps get first-class support in this release. Just `miren init && miren deploy` and your assets and migrations are handled for you. Check out our guide here: miren.md/guides/elixir

Starting my journey to SYCL! softwareyoucanlove.ca/about/ I love small single-track tech conferences with a point of view. Can’t wait to meet some rad folks and watch some rad talks.

Does anyone actual “machine wash cold with like colors”?

working on better elixir support in @miren.dev with @evanphx.dev and things are getting a little weird 🐦‍🔥♻️

Our v0.16 release is out this week and it's big! You upgrade this time, we'll upgrade next time. 👷 miren.dev/blog/v0-16-r...

Keeping everything up to date can be such a chore! Let us take that off your plate. 🍽️🤏 Soon, Miren Cloud will be able to manage your cluster upgrades for you. ☁️🤌⏫

Never miss out on a sales opportunity.

Lets Fucking Go! 39-0 for a USC shutdown! ✌️

Ummm. Things are... NOT GOOD on the internet.

So excited to launch Managed Clusters! Can't wait for more people to get the Miren experience!

We're excited to announce early access to our Managed Clusters product! Request access on miren.dev/pricing! Miren has always been focused on self-hosted, but there are many of you that have asked if instead Miren could run the cluster for them. The answer is now yes!

Miren Runtime v0.14.0 is out 🚀 First Class Secrets: store app credentials with miren secret, reference them from app.toml. Encrypted, and never in your config, logs, or image layers. Plus App Tasks, a SQLite addon, and more: miren.dev/blog/v0-14-r...

How do I get the Rivian map to stop doing stupid stuff like this?

Happy weekend!

I couldn't resist making the 2026 version (with AI of course).

Deploying apps on the web has always been a major turn off for me - it feels like being gifted a litter of puppies. Assorted pain reduction services exist with tamagotchi rental economics. And then I discovered miren.dev. I have absolutely no association with them. I am just genuinely in awe.

DEEP TECH AHEAD: How we took inspiration from Cap'n'Proto and built an RPC system that works for us, instead of us working for it. miren.dev/blog/rpc-tha...

Even just chatting with @mitchellh.com about Miren and tech reminded me how fun it was when we worked together! And we got his next.js powered blog deployed! miren.md/guides/javas... Full video: youtu.be/04lpAzu0Fqk

What's the story with official AND FREE movies on Youtube? Are they pulling a Tubi/Fubo and licensing them? I'm not gonna complain, love ending Friday with Blade Runner: The Final Cut www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C23...

I love the patterns that Miren Anywhere unlocks. Come watch @tenderlove.dev setup a cluster under his desk! Full video: youtu.be/YDJyz22tLLk

Don't fluster, a bluster of clusters!

"I miss having a global town square where I can talk. I don't have to miss that anymore, I just have to join a platform that is more humane." Watch the full livestream where miren.dev CEO @evanphx.dev and @chadfowler.com show how anyone can launch and manage their own PDS in minutes with Miren.

We love @pagedout.bsky.social! It's a free zine about programming, security, and hacker culture, and every article has to fit on a single page. Exactly our kind of thing, so we sponsored issue #9. Also, @phinze.com wrote page 27: "Go Get a Garden Server" 🌱 Free PDF at pagedout.institute

Join Evan and Nate as they deploy rubygems.org on Miren, tuning it along the way. They get into consulting in 2026, the heat in Tokyo, the difference between vcpus and cpus, and so much more. youtu.be/KLzD5xUQ2p4

Watch this space. Back in 30-45 minutes 🤓 @miren.dev @evanphx.dev

I can't explain to you why, but I can tell you with certainty that this is an @evanphx.dev flavored device.

When I started Miren, the idea was always to launch Miren Anywhere because it is truly what makes self-hosted clusters sing. It removes the awkward network location question and gives you the ability to use compute anywhere it might be. I'm so fucking excited to let you all use it!

Miren v0.12.0 ships Miren Anywhere: your cluster dials out, Miren's edge carries traffic back, and my-chores.miren.app can be served straight off a laptop in the kitchen 👩‍🍳💻 The "deploy works but the URL times out" wall, gone 🔄✨ miren.dev/blog/miren-a...

Nothing says self-hosted like running your own social media data, so we set out to run a Bluesky PDS on our own systems using Miren! (hi @mirener.miren.team !) miren.dev/blog/bluesky...

Loved chatting, building, and deploying with @thorstenball.com and Quinn Slack of Amp. The tools have gotten so good and love how we're let people get their ideas out there! Full video at youtu.be/A3yuLVkNxWM?...

You draw a little guy on your phone, a pig in a hat, and seconds later it poofs onto a giant screen full of strangers' creatures. That's PIGCon Plaza, built on Miren for zero dollars by @burlaprobot.bsky.social and the @pigsquad.com crew. 1,300 people came through. miren.dev/blog/drawing...

As luck would have it, my and the family are vacationing in Copenhagen this week, which is the same week as highschool-equiv graduation and it's been an amazing and hilarious treat to witness the grads partying around the city the whole week. Today is the zenith of celebration: Studenterkørsel!

expired: having your AWS creds stolen and having a rogue actor run up a huge bill mining a crypto coin that can only be exchanged for tokens at those mammoth Japanese arcades.

tired: a static AWS key in your env vars that works for anyone who finds it 👀 wired: every app gets a short-lived identity and proves who it is to AWS, no key stored 🥷 new in Miren 0.10 → miren.dev/blog/workloa...

One of the best parts of the Danish Design Museum: same many simple, modern, and comfy places to sit!

The family and I have been in Sweden the last week and it’s always surprising when someone hears my accent and asks if I’m from England. (I have a flat American accent) It’s an honest reminder that languages are hard even when every Swede knows English w minimum of 1000% more than I know Swedish.

The real problem was how to ship a database that users shouldn’t even know exists.

Sweden, here we come!

Man, 007 First Light is such a great game. As a mostly single player gamer, I'm so excited for a bunch of new ones!

A little sunday baking

Maybe each guest gets their own porta-pottie? That is absolutely I could see this administration demanding.
