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.

these commits show the actor's public posts when an anonymous user navigates to the site, and show the authenticated actor the content timeline for both their inbox and their outbox. these are really two big queries with a pagination scheme i found on the internet. i haven't yet benchmarked it against the common "OFFSET LIMIT" method.

clearly license your open source software. if you don't it's impossible to use it (at least in the united states).

kemal-session was released without a license, and there's discussion online looking/hoping for clarification. unfortunately, kemal-session was built on top of code that, itself, wasn't licensed, so any resolution is going to require tracking down at least two people.

not impossible, but possibly more work than just rewriting the library...

i think we're past sitting on the fence. if you see two kids, and one of them is beating kids up while the other is just playing, you don't need to stand around and unimaginatively point out that "one [kid] has the personality of a bully, [while] the other doesn’t have much personality at all". stop the bully!
