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.

commits #22a2fe2 to b4b0bb3 add support for pretty/canonical URLs.

posts are automatically assigned a unique, but arbitrary, identifier (this post is known as https://epiktistes.com/objects/mMpIAUimtjg) . you can also manually assign posts a "pretty", canonical identifier, for seo purposes (if you care about that) or as an helpful mnemonic (this post is also known as https://epiktistes.com/commits-22a2fe2-b4b0bb3).

also in these commits is support for editing/updating published posts. mastodon instances currently ignore updates, but if you are using ktistec to "blog" maybe that's okay.

interesting article... a look at self's object system

lambdamoo claims it's prototype-based object system was inspired by self's and based on this article it's clear that that claim is factual.

commits #f087a58 to fc9069c add support for approved posts. approved posts appear in public threaded conversations, and allow authors to control what parts of a conversation are visible to anonymous visitors.

it's a nod toward the day when fediverse spammers show up. (lol "when"...)
