Yes, that @oliphant@oliphant.social, running olifant.social on a solar-powered potato.

I sometimes work for the fedi and code stuff. I write about blocklists, and island networks and don't like nazis. I'm unfortunately a US citizen. Vegan for the animals and environment, not to lecture you with.

I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦 , Palestine 🇵🇸, and Canada 🇨🇦, for the sovereignty of Greenland, for the rights of the trans community :Flag_Trans:, as I stand with any group denied rights or bullied by an aggressor, I oppose and will always oppose all wars of aggression regardless of rationale or excuse; and while my government is overrun with Nazis, I also stand against it.

To save space in my profile, here's some things you should read, you can also follow @dispatch on the fedi or via RSS (https://writer.oliphant.social/dispatch).

Things I've Made/Am Making:

• Posty - Mastodon (and Pixelfed) export to static HTML site generator!
• Pelago - Island Management, allowlists, blocklists, and island networks. All the stuff I wish had already existed for managing allowlists and creating easy networks between GTS islands, via the use of a single subscribeable feed.
• FediCheck - Subscribeable Fediblockhole that pushes blocks to your Mastodon instance. This one is not open source (at least not yet, but I do have the code and permission to open-source it, so that's coming.) I did some contract work to create this originally for IFTAS, but now I'm trying to find the time to take the code and properly open-source it.

I also host a few things as public services for others. That means you! Use them!

• Blocklists - A mirror site for blocklists, including an "ad hoc" blocklist I have for my own use, stuff from fediblock or the like. The Tier0 unified list is there, too.
• Posty - The Live Version - Turns a Mastodon or Pixelfed archive (whatever that looks like today) into a static HTML site.
• 'Pelago - On the Web - Island Management Software; very much in development
• Darkwire - E2E encrypted chat in-browser, ephemeral, and everything gets deleted when the last person leaves the room. (I did not make this)
• Phanpy - Island One - This is currently pointed at a dev version of Phanpy with local-only post support for GoToSocial.
• De-Disinfo - Culture hacking, countering disinfo, cataloging the disappeared
• Lingva - Basically a proxy to Google Translate, but without the tracking.

Note: Only Posty, 'Pelago and De-Disinfo are made by me, I can't take credit for the others.
