Introduction
Redoing my #introduction as it was a bit of a sparse one when I joined.
I am a lifelong #technology enthusiast, having worked in Financial Services IT for more than 25 years, across multiple disciplines including:
* #Unisys #MCP-based #mainframe platforms (A17/A19/HMP NX 6800/Libra 180/Libra 6xx/Libra 890)
* #EMC #Symmetrix storage arrays (DMX 3/4 and most recently VMAX) including experience of #SRDF(S), SRDF(A), BCV
* #WindowsServer (2000 through 2019) including #ActiveDirectory
* Various #Linux/ #Unix OSes (#HPUX/ #RHEL/ #Centos/ #Ubuntu/ #Raspbian) including experience of #GFS/#GFS2 SAN storage clustering
* Virtual Tape Server technology (B&L/Crossroads/ETI Net SPHiNX, #TSM)
* Automation/Scripting (#PowerShell, #NT #Batch, #DOS, #Bash, #OPAL)
* #Security (#PrivilegedAccessManagement, #LeastPrivilege, #IAM, #Firewalls, #EDR)
* #BusinessContinuity/#DisasterRecovery (Design/Implementation/Operations)
Iโm focused on learning and getting hands-on with #RaspberryPi at home and #cloud computing solutions both at work and at home.
I moved into a #SecurityEngineering role in 2020, so a lot of my focus is now more security focussed across all tech stacks.
My main focus at present when it comes to cloud is predominately #Microsoft #Azure, with Google and AWS of interest also, as well as other cloud infrastructure services such as those provided by CloudFlare, though Iโm planning a move away from them due to their moral/ethical choices.
Away from work and tech, I love to #travel the world with my wife and enjoy very amateur #photography to record our adventures.
I also love most genres of #music, live in concert when I can, with a particular love of #Rock/ #Metal and also #Trance (coincidentally, given the profession of a somewhat more well known namesake of mine!).

Todd Sundsted @toddsundsted@epiktistes.com
I've been running v3.0.0 of Ktistec in production for the last few weeks, and it seems stable and Iโm using it every day, so itโs time to release it!
This release adds:
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a simple, general API that exposes Ktistec ActivityPub collections (timeline, notifications, likes, announces, etc.) to MCP clients. To be fully transparent about what this means, MCP clients are shells for Large Language Models (LLMs).
When building this, I focused on a few use cases that are important to me: content summarization, content prioritization (or filtering) based on my interests or the content's structure (well-constructed arguments vs. low-signal opinions) or its tone, especially when it comes to shared posts. Ktistec is a single user ActivityPub server and Epiktistes (my instance) gets a lot of traffic. I want to build the โalgorithmsโ that surface the content I want to see.
Of note, thereโs currently no support for content generation.
While I work on this, Iโm not abandoning the 2.x line. Iโll continue to add compatible features and fix bugs as long as I'm able. I realize the use of LLMs, and MCP by extension, and therefore the 3.x branch, is controversialโI donโt intend to push v3 on anyone.
If you're still with me, Ktistec now exposes:
ktistec://actors/{id*})ktistec://objects/{id*})ktistec://users/{id})ktistec://information)count_collection_since(name, since)paginate_collection(name, page, size)read_resources(uris)whats_newSupported collections include:
hashtag#<name> (e.g., "hashtag#technology")mention@<name> (e.g., "mention@euripides")There is more detail in the README.
TL;DR Add a remote MCP connector in your MCP client of choice: supply the URL of your instance including the /mcp path (e.g. "https://epiktistes.com/mcp").
