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.

@bob@social.freedombone.net I don't believe sysadmins would be more virtuous than managers. I don't know about this case, but I suspect many of uber's managers were once engineers/sysadmins...

I look at all the complexity that goes into building a robust single-page web app, and I wonder if it's really any improvement...
