snac

Ooo, I forgot who recommended me trying #Elk with #snac, but it works super well. Very noice. :D

For this #ThankyouTuesday, I want to give my regards to all those great persons that have contributed to #snac either with donations or code.

You make it possible. Thank you so much.

Just testing #dillo from my #snac instance and It is good but some things don't work as expected. For instance if I get a notification and then like it. The button does not change to unlike until I reload the page. Also my hacky back to the top of page links that work in other browsers do nothing in dillo. They are basically as below.

I also noticed that all the admin tabs at the top of the snac admin page are all open taking up screen real estate.
I'm not complaining merely poiting out some of my findings and there is probably good reason that I don't know about why these work they way they do.

Hmmm I see #Snac latest git shows quoted posts. Would some kind person quote this post so I can see ?

Como já aparece o "quoot" de publicação do Mastodon no #SNAC

Wie kann man denn in #snac einen Beitrag löschen? Hat da jemand etwas gefunden? 🤔

#Fediverse

Snac2 is an excellent software solution for accessing the Fediverse. It is lightweight, very easy to compile and install, has minimal dependencies, and the development is progressing along a clear, clean, and logical path - thank you, @grunfink

Since last December, BSD Cafe has had, among its services, a snac instance - https://snac.bsd.cafe - which has been used sparingly, mainly by some for testing purposes. I’ve kept it as a 'testing' option.

In light of the interest it is generating (we now have stable users) and given that development is evolving to allow for both inbound and outbound movement, I have decided to designate it as a stable solution for accessing the Fediverse and to consider it a primary service of the BSD Cafe.

It has always received the utmost attention, I have consistently updated it promptly, and it has always been accessible, but I have also modified all the descriptions to clarify that it is a stable and definitive solution.

For more information, there is always a dedicated page on our wiki: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/snac.bsd.cafe

Stay Tuned!

Liebe Fedinauten, aus verschiedensten Gründen: ich ziehe (mal wieder) um.
Dieser Server und damit auch dieses Profil wird demnächst stillgelegt.
Wer mir weiterhin folgen möchte, da gehts weiter:
@oliver bzw. @https://microhive.me/oliver
Wer mir nicht folgen möchte, dem werde ich dann vermutlich einfach folgen 🙂
Vielen Dank!

Dear Fedinauts, for various reasons, I am moving (again).
This server and therefore this profile will soon be shut down.
If you would like to continue following me, you can do so here:
@oliver or @https://microhive.me/oliver
If you don't want to follow me, I'll probably just follow you 🙂
Thank you very much!

Sorry everyone that just got a follow request - I just did my quad-yearly export/import of follows from #GoToSocial to #Snac

I still use both, but like to keep my follows in sync...ish

How come #snac works so flawlessly on @MonaApp but it takes forever for @ivory to load all data??? Lol 😂

Question for folk that use #OpenBSD in their home labs or rather several. ;)

I've got this idea to spin up OpenBSD on an i5-10505 based PC with 32Gb ram and I want to run the following services which are currently hosted on my FreeBSD server here using Bastille jails for each service.

I have a reverse proxy, nginx for web, git and cgit in another, Syncthing, Radicale. So 5 jails in total. The questions I have are would you try run all of those on base OpenBSD or use vmm for each like I do with bastille ?
Also how would #Snac perform in a vmm virtual machine using only 1 CPU compared to being in a multi core CPU jail on FreeBSD ??

The FreeBSD server has a i7-4790 (8) @ 3.60 GHz with 16Gb ram
The OpenBSD machine has a i5-10505 (6) @ 3.2 - 4.6 GHz with 32Gb ram.

Don't ask me why I'm considering this please. #RunBSD

I've just published version 2.85 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Quoted posts are now shown.

Added metadata to remote users in the people page (contributed by dandelions).

Fixed memory leak (contributed by dandelions).

Fixed user matching (contributed by rakoo).

Rendering visibility conditionally, with lesser reach if needed (contributed by byte).

Added a button next to a follow notification to follow back.

Fixed typo in man page (contributed by spky).

Updated Czech and German translations (contributed by pmjv and zen).

I love the snac software and the snac.bsd.cafe instance but thinking about moving to the bsd.cafe main instance for more features

By the way: Snac has themes. If you don't like them, build your own 🙂
And Snac runs smoothly with various web clients (e.g. Elk, Semaphore, Phanpy) and, of course, with pretty much every mobile client.

Acaba de ser implementada reação com emoji (tanto Unicode quanto personalizado) no #SNAC! A interação ficou mais completa pelo menos com #Akkoma, que tem isso há eras. Já testei.

Será que alguém consegue convencer o John #Mastodon, que, aliás, também aguarda por Markdown, a fazer isso logo?

Só permanece faltando, na interface Web , bolar alguma maneira de facilitar a seleção de emoji sem depender de JavaScript — SNAC é isento disso. Por enquanto, é necessário decorar os códigos. Precariamente, tento manter os emojis personalizados num rascunho, para consultar.

@grunfink Which web client works well with #snac software?

So I've been running my own #Snac instance for the past week and I have to say that I'm actually loving it. It hardly takes up any resources and the inbuilt web interface is easily configurable with nothing more than #CSS .
There are some things that folk used to running #Mastodon might not like. For example it does not show any follower or following numbers to any instances. So people using Mastodon will see 0 followers and 0 following even though those Snac uses may have 100's of followers .
You do get a people tab on the snac interface that is just a list divided into people following you and people you follow but no numbers. This is an intentional design feature by the author @grunfink who stated.

I haven't implemented a simple count of following / followers on purpose; I consider all metrics in network media inherently toxic, because it's a way of comparing the relative success of people. This is also why, as seen from other Fediverse implementations, snac accounts always report 0 / 0 connections.

Also not all features work with android / iOS apps but most of the essentials do. I occasionally use #Tusky when I'm not just using the web interface for Snac which I just find easier. I think I will be staying with this fantastic lightweight piece of software and look forward to see what new features get added in the future. A wish would be to have a way of importing followers from Mastodon to Snac, which I think the dev is working on at the moment. Oh and I nearly forgot to say that you can import the CSV file of people that you are following through the command line and it's fairly simple to do too. I'd 100% recommended giving Snac a try if you're looking for a no nonsene lightweight #Fediverse instance.

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.61 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Migration from a Mastodon account to a snac one has been implemented. Please see snac(8) (the administrator manual) for more information.

Mastodon API: fixed timelines/public (it was showing less posts that it should).

Fixed over-zealous caching to the public timeline.

Some HTML tweaks and fixes to the web interface.

This release has been inspired by the painting The Hands Resist Him by #BillStoneham.

I'm currently back in Barcelona for the Ombra Festival (the opening night was last night) and have been AFK a LOT as a result!

I won't be back in the USA until next week, and did not travel with any laptops, so it's not that I'm ignoring that there is a new version of snac, but I won't be able to do much about it for the time being.

I created the following Trac issue for myself and if any other MacPorts' users or developers may be wondering what's up:

Always on the hunt for a font I can live with, usually because I'm reading on mobile in the wee hours of the morning without my glasses, I've moved my tiny #snac instance (are they all tiny?) from Inclusive Sans to Atkinson Hyperlegible Next and now to Albert Sans.

I had gone down a rabbit hole with Frutiger but it's not available for free. I do really like Inclusive Sans and may go back, but thought I would give Albert Sans a whirl. So far, so good.

I read an article recommending differences between light and dark mode, and I thought I might do something super retro like Monochrome Screen just for fun.

#GeekAllWeek

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.62 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Added a new user option to collapse top level threads by default.

Added a new disable_block_notifications boolean field to server.json to disable the notifications of Block activities.

Added a new strict_public_timelines boolean field to server.json to only show an account's posts and boosts (no trees) in public timelines.

Fixed repeated images in posts from some implementations (those that include an image both as an attachment and as an <img> tag inside the post content).

Added a small HTML/CSS tweak to improve post previews from some implementations (contributed by nyanide).

Notifications for EmojiReact activities now show the emoji.

New command-line action insert, to insert a post by its URL in a user's timeline.

Fixed bad processing/rendering of URLs with two or more @ symbols.
