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.
the lever for the blade guard on a circular saw i picked up was broken, and the replacement part was discontinued/unavailable, so i printed a replacement from the piece that remained and some online photos.
the part wasn't available anywhere. well, that's not strictly true. i did find the part listed for $99 somewhere. i had the piece that connected to the saw for reference and a sears parts site had photos, so making my own seemed more reasonable.
it looks better in black imo.
i had to master printing supports to deal with the slight overhang, so it was a learning opportunity, as well.
there's a tendency to want nocode tools to be visual tools, but that overlooks some outstanding exceptions like inform, a language for creating interactive fiction.
The wood-slatted crate is in the Gazebo. The crate is a container.
i guess if you equate text with code, then this is code, but if you think of nocode as a movement away from implementing user experience and business logic in general purpose programming language syntax and toward alternatives more suited for experts in those domains, then i think this fits.
i'm reading through the entire org-mode manual. i've used it for years—it's time to master it.
org-mode has excellent support for handling links to other documents, both local and remote. in addition to a rich vocabulary of link types, if you're in a document—for example, a source code file—and you want to insert a link to a definition in that document into an org document you are working on, you use org-store-link to create a link to that definition—the type of link created depends on the type of document in the current buffer. you insert the stored link into the org document with org-insert-link. this works for most common emacs buffers (org, email/news, etc.).
i have code in .emacs going back decades...
i'm just going to read all of the documentation on org-mode. like a lot of emacs-based tooling, i've picked it up piecemeal over years of use. the more i learn the more i realize it could do more if i invested time in learning more. so i'm going in...
maybe next i'll read the documentation on magit. same story...
i'm still laughing about this

brian boru is a combination of card drafting and trick taking. to win you need to claim cities, defend against vikings, build monasteries and make political marriages. even with five players play is brisk. after one playthough my advice is to not be the player with the weakest defense against the vikings—it cost me a card every round to free the captured city.
as a little side project i’ve been cleaning a box of rusty tools I picked up a while back. they’re not in terrible shape, but they’re more pleasing when they’re rust free.
i started with a vinegar bath and steel brush, but the brush alone works well enough.
the only place i've found with a raspberry pi zero 2 w in stock is canakit, but it includes a bunch of parts that i don't need. i wonder how desperate i really am...
