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 somehow hadn’t heard of the torment nexus until this weekend at #worldcon but it’s popped up frequently including in editor Neil Clarke’s hugo acceptance speech—in which he likened it to generative ai and the shit ton of content he’s had to wade through to do his job as a result of it…
i love craft and maker panels as much as just about anything. for this one, i seriously regret not having a notepad…
city of angels pipe band—in town for the international piping festival—performing for an audience at #worldcon. also, that blue sky…!
on a separate note, why am i discovering all of the things that don’t work with #ktistec while i am away!?! fetching just stopped for a few hashtags I follow…!
i’m at that point at the con where i just want a quiet corner where i can people watch…
I am actually really happy about how my mobile-tweaks for #ktistec turned out. There was a lot of #CSS hacking involved, but I am pretty happy with the results :)
Here's a little video of how it looks:
#worldcon kicked off with dune! the musical. i enthusiastically recommend it if you have a chance to see it.
it’s not quite #worldcon yet so we went to the national piping center in glasgow, and I picked up some books and a few pointers.
as fate would have it, the international piping festival is next week in glasgow, as well, so i’ll be doing a wee bit of that, too!
i just wrapped up a day at the fringe festival in edinburgh. til it’s the world’s largest performing arts festival and there was definitely a lot going on!
