      I've closed web registrations on my mov.im instance

      Andrath of the Abyss • 3 April, 2024 • 4 visibility

    Hi,

    It's good to see that XMPP on my node is getting some use. I like to provide distributed communications for people that require it. There are some things that I won't tolerate my node being used for:

    • Running a buisness from it
    • Using it for bots (with the exemption being myself, since I own the node)
    • Sockpuppet accounts for trolling/harassment

    The server is is open to register on, but I have disabled the web registration in movim so I can actually see from where people are registering, and so I can actually block people that try to abuse my node. Plus that it raises the bar a bit.

    I know this reduces usability a bit, but I'm paying for this box with my own money, and I don't like freeloaders using it for things I never intended it for.

    Deimos is my personal server, which I philantropically opened up for people to use. It's not a utility.

      On ancient services of yesteryear

      Andrath of the Abyss • 11 June, 2022 edit • 3 visibility

    I have a confession to make. I like setting up old services nobody uses anymore. Things like finger and gopher (the latter is still pretty active, but the former is all but completely dead).

    So, if you want to go back to the past, install a finger client and finger me at ekollof@hackerheaven.org, and if you missed any of my plans, there is an archive of them on my gopherhole at gopher://kollof.nl:70/1/

    Cheers!

    Ok, here's an awkward first post. Gotta kick the tires.
