It is amazingly sunny and cold here today. I walked down to the store at lunch. The sun was great and the wind was ... invigorating. I used my hood on the way home. I haven't spent enough time outside this year, so I'm making an effort to correct that. There are two shopping areas within a 15-minute walk from my house, so I've been attempting to avoid taking the car. So far, I'm at the three-day mark. It's easy when it's so beautiful outside and there's not much snow on the ground. We'll see how it goes if the weather takes a turn for the worse. The XMPP server has been back up since Friday. I did a bunch of tests over the first couple of days -- and experimented with different configurations -- so there were frequent restarts. One of the things I was toying with was file transfers. If anyone wants them activated, I'll do so, since the server has a lot of unused bandwidth. It's 500GB/month and I don't recall ever using more than about 2% of that with the old XMPP server, even when we had Shizaru on it, serving the www pages for circumlunar.space. I've also been considering setting up a very small private social network for my family. Epicyon looks interesting, but Alex Schroeder reported heavy CPU use with it[1]. I guess Pleroma would be the next alternative. Something light would be best. If anyone's got any recommendations, feel free to send them my way.
