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 just finished working on improvements to #ktistec that cut about 15% off the built executable size, and speed up some of the more common public queries by 2x to 5x (they were already fast, so this is headroom).
It does this by replacing a poorly designed, feature poor, custom rules engine with a materialized view layer that uses SQL as its DSL (domain specific language).
I am about to smoke test it on my own site. If it’s not available—well, you know why! 😀

This release fixes a hard-to-exploit but potentially server-crashing bug. If you're running v3.3.9 or v3.4.0, you should upgrade.
maintaining an open source package is a difficult, often thankless job.
diving in out of nowhere and giving these volunteers shit is a fucked move. same as diving in to any other conversation you weren't invited to.
i'm thinking of Andrew Tridgell and rsync here, but it applies broadly.

This is a very interesting thread! According to @bagder
The current situation is overwhelming.
If you use curl (or free software in general) consider supporting developers while they work through the tidalwave. I use curl and just sent my support. You should too!
not even half-way through this #curl release cycle we are already at 11 confirmed vulnerabilities - and there are three left in the queue to assess and new reports keep arriving at a pace of more than one/day
11 CVEs announced in a single release is our record from 2016 after the first-ever security audit (by Cure 53).

"silent lucidity" may or may not have been part of my upbringing.
sometimes, with software, it feels like everything is possible but nothing is easy...
