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.

a major milestone in the life of ktistec... with the release of blocking, the database schema for 1.0 is now fixed. this means no more migrations. i'm working on a few interoperability issues, and then i'll tag 1.0.

commits a2f3fad to 485dbf2 add support for blocking actors and objects. like many things, blocking is built on the back on a lot of earlier cleanup and refactoring.

as expected, blocking an actor removes the actor and its content from your timelines. blocking an object removes only that object.

finishing this is the last blocker to a 1.0 release. 🎉
