The blog might look a little different right now. Not for too long, mind, but right now, we are rebasing the entire hydra project to its locally-hosted upstream, right here at https://hydra.styx.systems/diffusion/1/.
Sorry if you got flashbanged by the style change - light theme was the default fallback theme.

Hopefully soon we'll have a nice light/dark mode CSS theme (which we'll upstream to Phorge once it works!), rather than hardcoding it like it does now.

Since the blog is a component of hydra, the ad-hoc changes we made to the Phorge theme are stowed away at the moment, until they're patched back into the repo and landed on the server. This might take a couple days in between real-life things I'm (@sirocyl) handling right now, so bear with us.

Meanwhile, on the governance front, I've been learning a good bit from the Website League project on project and social governance matters, as well as contributing some ideas over there. It's a pretty cool idea, a network of federated blog instances with a central code of conduct and distributed community stewardship.

Finally, now that hydra is ready to take on code, I'll begin opening some projects and setting up to invite a few people to join and make accounts here.

In the future, I expect hydra to be sort of an omnibus for styx - carrying accounts and logins across the styx project, handling our codebases, community outlets, project and issue tracking, and managing the packages with a streamlined and consistent UX.
