System Architect, platform Engineer mainly networking (both carrier and access network) and data fabric.
Living in Germany, Hilden, NRW, where this instance is selfhosted.
Developer of Aktor, an Active Pub server (Fork of GtS) where I add the Fediverse features I want to use myself, like IPFS, lua filters, and more.
Posting from it, too.

@silverpill @weekinfediverse
usually I don't do short. so. I put a short and details. Up to you how to package the newsletter.
In short: as a sysadmin, what I always missed from GtS and every instance software. I just fork GtS and added the feature I was missing.
Like.
1. IPFS. Stop using S3, amazon will track the server, and everyone reading the pictures. IPFS provides decentralized CDN. Opensource. Free.
2. lua filters for messages. Instead of implementing interaction rules and so and so, I just put a system which allows the sysadmin to write filters in lua. You can have any policy you want
3. GUI. Yes, actually I don't like a fat GUI, but something like tumblr may be at hand.
4. RSS. Now the sysadmin can set a RSS to be published as any profile. So you can integrate the fediverse with rss sources, with no robots.
5. Groups. The admin is able to change a user to type "group". From this moment on, it will behave like the gup.pe groups.
6. Stop to "subscriptions open" or "subscription closed". I just put a parameter with max users , when there is space, people can join, if there are no more users available, it is closed. Better for capacity control.If you want a personal instance, just put max users to 1.
7. Inactive users cleaning jobs.Default set, 30 days, if the user goes inactive for 30 days, it is removed. So a new slot is free.
Those were the features which I missed more, so I did a fork and I added them.
You can check it there.

@silverpill the purpose of this madness is to force the whole fediverse to be "Mastodon". To me, developing Aktor, I will decide that unspecified activities belong to type "gibberish" and create a specific timeline for gibberish. That's it.
