There's this Mastodon thing that's getting talked about. Let's run an instance.
Let's run a few. Let's host many and share the cost.
Let's build a serious fully automated commercial service that can create an instance on demand under 30s. I'll call it MaaStodon.

I don't like big monolithic things like Caddy or docker-oriented heavy web servers.
I don't like Certbot managing my web server; it's busy and functionnal already.

Looks like everyone needs to publish their thoughts on nazi punching, so here you go: punch the motherfuckers.

I don't really like what I do. I don't really like why I do it either.
Both are a good reflection of why the world is shit.

Currently my main revenue source is CCrypto VPN.

New design!

Hey, new design! It's Flex in purple.

The logo is way more interresting though. I've had a big triangle on xomg.net for some time, but it's a nice logo too.
