- Operating public services in-house, like radio, forum, IRC, XMPP, Counter-Strike 1.6, and more.
- Contributor to open-source projects like Nix.
Self-hosting extraordinaire
A preview of the services I host (many services outlined on my tech website) on my own server, in my home:
- web radio running my Whisper Radio software! AI/automated Internet radio station!
- Gopher Protocol server – this acts as a single point of truth, the most up-to-date source of all my tech stuff. Built and served using my bore software! Has features like “ChatGopherPT” which allows you to use an LLM/AI via the Gopher Protocol!
- Counter-Strike 1.6 server for old school gaming! I even have my own Mumble server! Weekly event every Saturday!
- phorum: Gopher Protocol forum!
- I host my own XMPP, you can contact me via
someodd@xmpp.someodd.zip! - IRC server: you can actually join this through my XMPP server! Actually surprisingly active with some amazing people!
Bore
Bore is like Jekyll, a static website builder, except it’s for the Gopher Protocol. Some of the highlights:
- Formal verification using LiquidHaskell for the custom search algorithm, through my ryvm (Rank You Very Much) software
- Property-based testing using QuickCheck for the custom search algorithm
- Blogging system, with Atom/RSS, tagging, indexing
Some examples:
- My technical website’s phlog-mirror gets built by Bore’s command to archive to Jekyll!
- View the gopherhole built by Bore using an HTTP proxy
haskellcard
haskellcard is a game engine built in Haskell, that is similar to HyperCard.
- Nix packages setup for building and development
- Game state and level format is the same thing and perfectly deterministic
Whisper Radio
Whisper Radio is a radio show hosted by AI and Bash scripts. It is (open source).
The radio program has these features (and more!):
- AI responds to people’s posts on Mastodon
- Selects music to play
- Radio announcer (using both old school TTS and AI-based TTS)
- Weather report
- Reads the latest thread in my Gopher forum phorum
- Talking/reading segments, like promoting people’s projects, or reading poetry, interesting bits of history
You can listen below, or go to the Whisper Radio stream directly.
Waffle
Waffle is like a web browser, but for the Gopher Protocol. I wrote about the experience extensively in my article showcasing Waffle on my tech website, which includes:
- Extensive use of performance profiling
- Parallelism and concurrency
- Implementation of client side of RFC 1436
The domain name sue.do is a play on the sudo command in Linux.
