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.

I've been in the fediverse since 2017 already, however with the recent growth in users and the switch to my own instance, I figured it is time for an #introduction.

I am a #Statistician and #DataScientist from Germany. I am also passionate about Free and #OpenSource #Software and am deeply involved in hosting, developing and advocacy of privacy friendly FOSS tools.

Besides above two topics, I share posts & ramble myself about #politics in Germany and the EU, #feminism, #veganism, #selfhosting, #rstats, #linux and whatever is currently happening. Posts are typically in English, shares are often in German as well.

If you have further questions, you are free to ask any time. You can find further contact info (incl. PGP) on my website https://www.jayvii.de

Some observations about my #ktistec (1.0.0) trial:

  • The setup was super easy and blazingly quick. Barely any load on my server hardware
  • The UI is very smooth, simple and fast
  • Rich message-composer, which however feels like it is constantly fighting me (on mobile)
  • Posts can be edited any time!
  • Visibility of posts cannot be set. Everything is "global"
  • Media upload works fine. "Captions" are not the same as "alttext" in Mastodon.
  • Searching for tags would be a nice feature
  • No option for filtering my timeline, except for following and blocking accounts
  • Posts of accounts appear from the moment onwards you interacted with them for the first time
  • Above two observations make threads really awkward, because there is missing context
  • The "metrics" feature is really, really nice!
  • Obviously no limitation on post length(?)
  • No API that I am aware of. makes cross posting, archiving, etc somewhat hard to achieve(?)
  • The web-frontend embeds content from jquery, cloudflare and another random domain, which I feel like shouldn't be necessary (see screenshot)

All in all, there are many rough edges, but nothing that appears like it couldn't be overcome. Feels quicker nice, actually and I hope I have the skill set to actually contribute to this in the future!

Currently trying #ktistec, a very simplistic single-user selfhosted #fediverse server. Not 100% certain it'll stick around, but if you care to follow, there you go.
