Welcome to nfld.uk!

Hi! Welcome! I'm JJ, an expat Canadian living in the UK. I enjoy tinkering, particularly with Linux; as part of that, I host some services for personal use, which I'm also happy to offer to friends and polite strangers. These include:

• Social:
  • lotide.nfld.uk: A lightweight, federated forum
  • twt.nfld.uk: Yarn.social: social media, on your terms
  • social.nfld.uk: Pleroma / Fediverse
  • matrix.nfld.uk: Synapse / token-mediated registration - drop by the lobby and say Hi! if you already have a Matrix account - or, join, as a guest or IRC fan, from the #nfld channel on irc.ircnow.org - I run a Matrix<->IRC bridge for most of my rooms
  • pad.nfld.uk: Etherpad - collaborate on documents with your friends, including real-time chat
  • Calibre server: for our book club - drop by and say Hi!
  • call.nfld.uk: Peer Calls
• Syndication:
  • rss.nfld.uk: Miniflux
  • rsshub.nfld.uk: structured feed generator
  • rss-proxy.nfld.uk: simple feed generator
• Other:
  • fmd.nfld.uk: FMDServer, for use with the FindMyDevice app on F-Droid
  • msg.nfld.uk: Gotify server
  • A Tor bridge
  • Vaultwarden
  • Firefly III

Some of these services are simply open; others require an account or token / API key. Please don't hesitate to reach out, in the latter case. Also, I add more services regularly, and am happy to take suggestions as well.

If you've wondered whether you too might like system administration, I'd highly recommend trying it out, for free, on Linux and OpenBSD; as well as joining the tildeverse.

Cool stuff I support, with funds / time

• Readup: the world's best reading app
• Standard Ebooks: free and liberated ebooks, carefully produced for the true book lover.
• IRCNow: the Users' Network: of the users, by the users, for the users - join us!
• Lichess (let's play!)
• Tandemonium: tandem cycling for the visually impaired
• LWN: news from the source
• mkws: a simple static site generator
• Alone Among Spies: an exciting read! Particularly if you enjoy spy fiction!
• Wheezy Waiter (and The Good Stuff)

Other neat stuff

• 'Oldschool' PC fonts
• Pale Moon: a browser completely built from its own, independently-developed source, focused on efficiency and customisation
• EDRLab's Thorium Reader: modern, EPUB 3 compatible reading software with excellent screen reader support
• Delta Chat: chat over e-mail
• Aether: peer-to-peer, ephemeral, public - open source, self-governing communities with auditable moderation and mod elections
