Epiktistes is my home in the Fediverse. It is an instance of Ktistec, a single-user ActivityPub server like Mastodon, but with fewer users and fewer commits. Here's my introduction (last updated early-2025).
I wrote a series of posts about optimizing the performance of the Ktistec server, its build time, and its executable size: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, and part 5.
Some things I regularly write about, organized by hashtag:
I also wrote some #pointfreeverse.
There’s a bot for that
Five new fediverse accounts that post what FediDB sees: charts of the network, new software, new large servers, release adoption and the projects growing fastest.

this is a great thread.
i don't have an aversion to "algorithms"—i just want to be in control. surface the "interesting" posts in my inbox—the ones where someone shares something new, novel, or surprising—and bury the posts by the idiots who show up to troll.
it's hard, though. i tried to do it in #ktistec threads by looking for the posts at the center of the conversation instead of the branches where two or three people are just going back and forth—but results are mixed.

GIven the positive traction this post got, I'd like to collect some "benevolent algorithms" we could consider. For example:
* Popular posts among people you follow
* Popular posts on your server
* Popular posts with this hashtag
* What would you suggest???
"popular" is defined as some transparent metric around replies + boosts
computers used to be humans—humans who did mathematical calculations by hand. apparently, the term dates back to the 1600’s

i'm actually pretty excited that #ktistec is on the list!
New milestone reached 🥳
Nearly 500 segments of the main mirror of our Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) have now arrived from Europe at the ELT Technical Facility at our Paranal Observatory in #Chile. That is around half of all the segments being made for what will become a 39-metre eye on the sky.
