I'm deciding to drop out of the challenge btw. I've been a bit behind for a while and don't think I'd enjoy the pace I'd have to keep to catch up.

When I started the challenge in January part of the reasoning was that the satisfaction of goalkeeping would help me generally with motivation and productivity in other things like schoolwork during my last semester. In that way I still see the challenge as a partial success!

I wrote up a bit about setting up a PSP for homebrew and emulation, as well a couple games I've tried so far.

Here's a couple notes on things I've learned so far from running Mastodon. If you've got any experience with federation relays I'd be glad to hear about it!
