Some sloppy notes for you about how to enable audio/video calling for a prosody server in debian.

Mumble is an old-school, low-latency voice chat app, perfect for games like Counter-Strike 1.6. It’s a bit tricky to set up but offers strong encryption and full control. My server provides a lightweight, private alternative for high-performance voice chat.

I kept saying deploy_hook and post_hook, but no it’s renew_hook, and if there’s unrecognized entry it’ll just remove it! I have no idea how I made this mistake…

I host different Gopher Protocol services which use different ports on one box. So I kind of need a reverse proxy of sorts. I wanted to make sure I could access all of them using port 70.

Why do I use a VPN? I personally use it because I think exposing a VPN service with which to connect to all my services like SSH is a lot safer than just exposing SSH to the wild, wild Internet.

This is both a server announcement and a guide!

I’m out of disk space and need to figure out how to free up space.

If you use more than one GitHub account you may want a nice set up to make it easy to assign a specific user to a specific repo with ease. Here are some instructions for that, plus signing commits with GPG key.

I was trying to get all of my XMR (Monero) sold, but this took some work on my Debian server, as I hand’t touched it in a while.

Actually own your BTC by running bitcoind on your (Debian, Linux) server.

Entered BIOS and looked for acoustic/power/performance settings which led me to some way to reduce fan intensity in BIOS.

Archiving to tape with restic: how I processed 414980 files, roughtly 60 GiB in about 10 minutes, with incremental updates too.

A new guide to archving with LTO5 and Debian.

I used to use DuckDNS, but then I started using afraid.org.

For Bitreich’s “Haunted Hosts” Hallowe’en event I made this, try a trick:

Let’s make a backup of the entire server.

Creating torrents for data longevity, a distributed way to archive data.

I love GNU screen. It allows me to keep various sessions open regardless if my SSH connection terminates or not. It’s also very nice for my VT320 terminal, because I can easily switch between windows and divide up the screen. I’m told tmux is better and more useful (I think for old terminals, too?), so I’ll look into that, too, at some point.

I use the old school, lightweight Window Maker window manager on Debian Unstable.

XMPP allows you to host your own encrypted communication server, where you can talk to other people on their own servers. Think of email, but for instant messaging.

My journey setting up a little IRC server, with SSL support and services, on Debian 12.

I am now officially a member of Bitreich!

On March 19, 2025, I did a radio interview with screwtape, on his “Lispy Gopher Climate” segment on aNONradio (hosted by SDF), about Gopher, a little bit about smallnet, Gemini, Bitreich, programming philosophy, and The MADE (a museum I am making a documentary for). Screwtape has a segment on SDF’s aNONradio.

I have a VT320 with a unix-style LK401 (?) keyboard. I connected it via serial to my Debian server. Here’s how.

Liferea allows you to use a command as a feed source!

Dillo is a very lightweight browser. I personally enjoy it because I feel it suits Window Maker and it has Gemini and Gopher plugins.

You may have heard of static site generators. You may even have heard of the Gopher Protocol. But have you heard of a static gopherhole generator?

I made a Gopher client called waffle. Basically, a web browser, but for the Gopher Protocol. I started it about 4 years ago now (2020?).

gopherden is forum software for the Gopher Protocol. View the official gopherden server via the web or via the Gopher Protocol (as intended) (you may want to read my post about the Gopher Protocol).

The point of this article is to get you browsing gopherspace quickly and to share some of my favorite gopherholes…

I was working on Venusia because I keep writing Gopher servers. I realized I wanted to just create a library/dependency. So I wanted to actually put this on Hackage, which is Haskell’s package repository.

This article helps you get started with LiquidHaskell, which I found confusing.

I wrote these notes because I wante to reduce the friction for myself and others to getting a Nix Flake working for their Haskell Project.

haskellcard an SDL2 game engine based around the idea of exploring different scenes. Ended up being similar to HyperCard. Kind of a point-and-click type thing, but I wanted to have a lot of real-time support, since I think feel like point-and-clicks are kind of boring or not very fun.
