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.

what is the state of the art in copyleft licenses? (fwiw, i put ktistec under AGPL because i wanted to cover modifications as part of services running over a network, and i wanted the virality, but maybe there are/were other options)

worldcon glasgow had a registered tartan created for the event called "landing zone glasgow". unfortunately, they sold out of the first weaving before i could order.

i found out a few days ago that they are taking preorders for a second weaving. this is amazingly great news! a vest is in my future!

the tartan pattern for "landing zone glasgow"

One of the things I've learned to do in my prints, when I have two parts that will be joined together, is create a directional key and matching key holes in each part. The holes should be half the depth of the key. The key and holes should fit together in one direction only. I can't count the number of times I've glued two parts together that were slightly askew, or backwards, or...

another notice of a data breach exposing my data... at this point i wonder how many systems are left that haven't been breached...

how far back in chat/comments, etc. is too far back to fix your grammar and spelling errors? i'm finding that the horizon seems to be "as far back as i happen to notice them"... 馃槵
