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.

awake for hours.
still on east coast time.
still autumn dawn.
i just pushed commits that add a settings page and handle image uploads (for background image and profile icon). a lot of code was already written and supported image upload from the editor—i just had to bend it to my purpose. i'm using FilePond to handle preview and upload in the browser.
generally, i'm pretty happy with the result!

here's my seasonal boot sequence for terraria: 1) it's halloween. harvest pumpkins and make pumpkin armor (7 points of defense). 2) start digging and get to the caverns. you're looking for gold chests and the mace. fairies led me to two maces and a dozen crystal hearts within a few hours of starting. 3) upgrade the mace to a flaming mace (18 damage). 4) mine platinum or gold (whatever your world has). as soon as you have enough ore, craft platinum (20 defense) or gold (16 defense) armor. 5) pick off your first boss—either the eater of worlds or the brain of cthulhu. you need their drops in order to craft the nightmare or deathbringer pickaxe, which can mine hellstone and obsidian. 6) build a hellevator, break into a ruined house and mine hellstone. there's usually some near the walls and if you are careful you can dig shafts into the ash—but think about where the released lava will flow. you'll probably need a few recall potions (of which you'll have found plenty) to pull this off. 7) back in the caverns, dump water on lava lakes to create obsidian. mine it. 8) craft molten armor (25 defense), a fiery greatsword (40 damage), and whatever else you like.
early morning check in...

fine game. and right for the time...
i posted about the problems caused by the lack of a clear license a week ago. commits ca662ca through 49d3e2a remove the kemal-session and kemal-csrf shards and replace them with lightweight improvements to a session store i'd written previously and forgotten about and cut-and-paste reuse of kemal-csrf (which has a clear license and clean history). ktistec will be released under AGPLv3.
i didn't expect follows. or boosts.
this is the web pretty much throwing its arms up in the air and giving up
