Hi. 👋

I am JayVii, a data enthusiast with a passion for Free and Open Source Software. I care about social inclusion & privacy. This is my personal Fediverse server, powered by ktistec. I modified its appearance with my own adjustments.

I typically remove shared posts after ca. 3–6 months. I do keep most of my own posts (for now).

I post about a variety of topics, both in German and English, such as:

I also developed a few tiny & simple self-hostable tools to ease my life (and that of others), such as:

You can find out more about myself on my website or in my introduction post.

Nice read! I agree to every bit of it!

Whenever starting a new slide presentation...

My keyword-based meta² search serĉi learned some new tricks and is a bit easier to use now!

Besides several categories you can browse to find keywords more easily, the backend has changed quite a bit as well! Both keyword-arrays and category-arrays are pre-generated from the configuration now. This makes it easy to configure but still maintain extremely high performance, and keep for-loop cycles low.

Everything in pure #PHP and without database, logging, cookies, etc. Give it a try and send me some feedback!

Per my last post (https://social.jayvii.de/objects/tHRArkhwOLg) about bang-search: Do you know of any super-specialised #search engines that are worthwhile including in my little fun project traserĉi?

JayVii

Lately, I've been using @MetaGer #MetaGer as my main #SearchEngine, but had been really missing bangs (known from #DuckDuckGo and other search engines).

So this morning I threw together a short #PHP site that I could use as search front, which handles bangs and redirects me to the correct search engine (is this meta-meta? ;D):

Out of curiosity, what would happen to followings, followers and federation if my #Activitypub #fediverse handle would change it's publickey, but instance, username & webfinger would stay the same? #mastodev #fedidev

My #strato VPS becomes completely unresponsive at random intervalls every few weeks for unknown reasons. Sometimes static webpages are still accessible and browsable, but PHP executions fail. Docker containers are not reachable. SSH connections just time out or disconnect immediayely. I then have to reboot the VPS via strato's dashboard. Also random downtime for 1-2 minutes at random intervals every day.

 It is really odd, I have never experienced something like that with other VPS providers and had the same issue with strato with different servers, completely different setups and use cases.

Anyone else having similar a experience? Considering switching to #hetzner or #netcup, both of which I have made only positive experiences with.

We had around 30°C here during the past week. Even the geese had to find a nice place in the shades within the pond.

Pretty happy with my #sway setup now. #waybar and #sov give it a very clean, functional but pretty surface. #Linux #Debian #Wayland

Experimenting with #sway for a bit (https://src.jayvii.de/pub/dotfiles/file/sway/.config/sway/config.html). Feels a lot more mature (but obv less flashy) than #wayfire. And really snappy! If you have any tipps or suggestions, feel free to send them my way :) #Linux #wayland
