About Prolixium

Hi. I'm Mark and I work on large scale networking.

I have a blog that I don't update often: https://blog.prolixium.com/

I also have an IPv6-only single-user Mastodon server: https://tricorder.social/

    It's ashame that MythWeb isn't under active development anymore[0]. The MythWeb change log in the 0.33 release doesn't have any commits newer than June 4, 2022. Maybe I'm weird but…
