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.
every so often i crank inbox logging up as loud as it will go and then spend the next two weeks fixing federation bugs. this is apparently the start of those two weeks.
fixing issues with http signatures now...

Release v3.12.1 patches a bug that's been present for about two years and fixes issue #163 in the process. Looking at FediDB, it appears most servers on v3.X.X made it through the upgrade to v3.5.0, which is where the bug would have bitten, but the consequences of the bug are annoying enough that a patch is warranted.
Changed
Up-to-date query statistics ensure that the expensive migration in v3.5.0 completes in seconds or minutes, instead of hours!
I had success running #meshtastic during #dragoncon in Atlanta. Most of the con there were ~60 nodes directly reachable and 500+ visible in the metro area. Which is pretty cool.
I'm now in the four corners area outside of Orlando, and there is zero activity that I can see. I had to reinstall the regular (non-DragonCon) firmware, and maybe I screwed that up. Or maybe I'm just too far out in the boonies.
I'm still pretty new, so if anyone in the Orlando area has tips, reach out!
This is pretty cool:

We are already making plans.
my hot take: LLM-based AIs are going to be classified as weapons
