Epiktistes

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.

i think we're past sitting on the fence. if you see two kids, and one of them is beating kids up while the other is just playing, you don't need to stand around and unimaginatively point out that "one [kid] has the personality of a bully, [while] the other doesn’t have much personality at all". stop the bully!

i implemented support for in-the-flow images with attachments as the fallback on federated platforms that don’t support them.

epiktistes runs on ktistec (still no README). the choice of crystal and sqlite has worked out really well. a small fully threaded conversation using a recursive query took 9.55ms to retrieve and render.
