Micro Blog

When I shutdown my Facebook and Instagram accounts, years ago, I switched to more open source friendly social media service networks; Pleroma was my first stop in the Fediverse. Since then I’ve maintained several Fediverse accounts and now BlueSky and Nostr.

My Micro Blog project aggregates all these posts from various accounts backs them up and makes them all available here on my personal site.

Summery of accounts and features supported

Went down the rabbit hole of reading about Urbit. Pretty bold ideas on the future of computing, lot of which I find compelling. Unfortunately the crypto part and the founder’s insanity are big turns offs.

Nostr, also very crypto bro adjacent, is compelling enough for me to use. The ease of running my own rely was selling point.

Happy on dice.camp, but if I decide to go the self-hosting route gotosocial looks cool.

Took me two days to figure out how to draw a box. 😅 It's the canvas for a one line drawing 88x31 pixel art piece I'm working for my personal site.

Think I've finally wrapped my head around memory label and addressing runes in uxntal.

Baltro was made with Lua and Love2d! Such a good game. Love it.

Also shows the power of Love2d. I'm enterintaining the idea of using fennel to write some Lisp -> Lua creative coding stuff.

Cool TTRPG where you are an AM radio host and have to build a playlist and take callers.

Love sourcehut even though I never figured out the whole email mailing list part. For a place to throw my personal repos it works great. As an alternative now that my homelab cluster is up and running I'm self-hosting Forgejo.

Always wanted to play Satisfactory, but have not been in position of Gaming PC in recent years. Would be cool if Steam games were playable on Xbox.

Was never a big glitch.com user, but seemed like a great place for beginners to get started with coding.

Hope to see more things like it.

I'm happy with iA writer on mac for long form writing, but self-hosting WriteFreely looks cool.
