      <title>Back on the Fediverse</title>

      <description>&lt;h1 id=&#34;back-on-the-fediverse&#34;&gt;Back on the Fediverse&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A recent post from Alan Pope, &lt;a href=&#34;https://popey.com/blog/2021/02/mastodon-instances-everywhere/&#34;&gt;Mastodon Instances, Everywhere&lt;/a&gt;, reminded me that I also used to run a Mastodon instance back when it was all still new and shiny.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My instance ran for awhile and had a few users and I actually enjoyed being on the network. It was much more civil and discussions seemed friendlier than Twitter. Eventually, I shut my instance down as it took more and more &lt;em&gt;sysadmin time&lt;/em&gt;, was quite resource hungry and their updates did not always go smoothly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recently, I decided to jump back into the Fediverse and see how many people I could follow there instead of on Twitter. Not surprisingly, most of those in the Linux community are the easiest to find Mastodon accounts for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To get on the Fediverse, I chose to spin up an instance of &lt;a href=&#34;https://pleroma.social/&#34;&gt;Pleroma&lt;/a&gt; and so far I&amp;rsquo;m liking this. It uses &lt;em&gt;a lot&lt;/em&gt; less resources than Mastodon itself, seems easier to keep up-to-date and even has a clone of the Mastodon interface (see &lt;a href=&#34;https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/mastofe&#34;&gt;MastoFE&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://caffeinated.blog/images/2021/pleroma-mastofe.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How long will I run it this time? Who knows, but I am enjoying it again and without the stress of running a &amp;ldquo;real&amp;rdquo; Mastodon instance.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Online With Hugo</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;As part of wanting to go through and reorganise my various sites and blogs, so I (once again) have a place to write again, I have switched over to Hugo as my content system. I have just spun up a new web host with Apache and Git to automatically pull site changes from the repo and publish them. It&amp;rsquo;s all working beautifully so far.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Indigo is a lightweight theme for &lt;a href=&#34;https://gohugo.io&#34;&gt;Hugo&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href=&#34;https://indieweb.org/&#34;&gt;IndieWeb&lt;/a&gt; features baked in. It&amp;rsquo;s great for longer-form blogging, placing its focus on distraction-free reading and beautiful typefaces.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Adding Page Items</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Indigo supports adding a simple navigation-style menu items across the top of the site. To do so, simply add a &lt;code&gt;menu: &amp;quot;main&amp;quot;&lt;/code&gt; entry in your page&amp;rsquo;s front matter (TOML format shown).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If no date is included in the front matter, then the published date won&amp;rsquo;t be shown (as in this page).&lt;/p&gt;
