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.

heroku does not include ffmpeg so for my mastodon instance I just dropped a static binary ( https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/ ) into the project bin/ directory. a perfect kludge until I work out the correct buildpack. in the meantime video uploads work!

~10 years ago, established coworking spaces existed in New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Austin and no one knew what the word meant. today it's a clear "thing" (although I'm still not sure if most know what the word means)

@underskore you, me, and entropy. this instance isn't intended to be a stable Mastodon (or GNU social) instance.
