I just saw the shutdown notice for K&T Host. I am sad to see them go, but thankful for the services they provided. Hosting apps like Lemmy and Mitra through them hugely boosted my spirit in becoming a hobbyist sysadmin. Thank you, K&T Host, and happy retirement! I hope everyone manages to move their data before the February 1, 2026, full shutdown.

Alrighty, testing out this shiny new #gotosocial instance. For now, I've migrated by @afterdark account here and will be using this alongside my "main" @shellsharks account. I've heard great things about GTS and I've desperately wanted a fedi presence that has a text box that can handle more than 500 characters at a time. In time, if I find this to be a suitable alternative to my beloved Mastodon experience, I may migrate my main account here as well.
This may end up coinciding with my favorite fedi client, #Ivory's plan to support GTS in their next release.
And look at that, I'm already past 500 chars and I can just keep on typin'. Glorious. So continuing...
On Hosting
This instance is hosted by #knthost, who I've used to host my #castopod instance and have enjoyed their prompt and reliable service. They have a GTS offering (duh) which I would invite others to check out if they've been considering having their own li'l fedi home https://www.knthost.com/gotosocial. It starts at under $4/mo which is pretty stellar. How well that scales for larger accounts we'll see. But they make it pretty easy to scale up as needed and since I've been paying #mastohost 19/mo for a year now, I've got quite a bit of room to beef things up and still stay under what I've been paying. I still think #mastohost is great, and would highly recommend them for anyone who wants a vanilla masto experience with top notch support and stability 👍
Why GoToSocial?
Honestly, I had a lot of choices, I considered Akkoma+Mangane, Sharkey, Glitch Masto, and others... Maybe I'll end up at one of those some day. But for now, I wanted to try this first. GTS is very actively developed, seems to be very resource "mindful", has plenty of customizability and has fast became a go-to platform for small or single-user instances like this one.
ous.computer
Yep, I bought another domain. This one is silly, but the subdomain possibilities are pretty endless. https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordfinder/classic/ends/all/-1/ous/1
So if you follow my main shellsharks account, feel free to follow me here! If you don't already follow me, but want to see my posts about infosec, tech, general Fediverse stuff, art, probably NBA stuff, nature, and a ton of other things - go for it!
