#SNAC

6 posts6 participants0 posts today
Continued thread

The week's side quest is mostly installing #alpinelinux on 1st gen Raspberry Pis in "diskless" mode.

I've got at least three of the things gathering dust, and I love the challenge of working with limited hardware.

Diskless mode runs everything in RAM and needs a git-like "lbu commit" command to persist changes. This speeds things up a LOT and should mean the SD card lasts a long time.

This started as an experiment and now somehow I'm replacing most of my infrastructure with it.

I now have an experimental #snac instance, AdGuard Home for the kids and it's not stopping there...

Ok - I'm giving #snac (.bsd.cafe) a proper shake as my main fedi account. I still can't get the #IceCubes app to add it as an account, so I'm going to use the webUI for now.

If you're seeing this via a boost from my other account then please consider following the boosted account directly, as I won't be boosting its toots particularly often! ❤️
I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.78 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/28613

I'm not sure why, but it seems as if the GitHub Continuous Integration checks are just... hanging? They were queued for a really long time and I stopped looking and when I checked again it was like "running" or whatever for 9 hours, but clearly probably nothing is actually happening.

Builds locally OK!

It's been a couple of days since I submitted that PR, and my apologies for lagging upstream as well. My life has been kinda, off.

I'll probably get around to emailing the MacPorts' dev mailing list if it still seems to be stalled and no one else beats me to it. Presumably, eventually, it will get merged!

Thanks again to you and others (e.g. dandelions, postscriptum, piefed) for the continued improvements!

GitHubsnac: update to 2.78 by artkiver · Pull Request #28613 · macports/macports-portsBy artkiver
I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.78 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Hashtag following also allow URLs to RSS feeds of ActivityPub objects (like e.g. https://mastodon.social/tags/ThankYouTuesday).

Users can now configure a webhook to receive an HTTP POST for every notification. This can be useful for implementing bots that react to activities, like autorepliers, chatbots or interactive textual games (see snac(1) for more information).

The number of pending follow confirmations is shown next to the "people" link.

Faster performance metrics (contributed by dandelions).

Improved lowercasing in hashtags (contributed by postscriptum).

A search-by-url tweak for implementations that return 200 for invalid webfinger queries (e.g. piefed).

Mastodon API: added follow confirmation endpoints, fixed collisions in attachment file names.

Fixed potential crashes in attachment uploads.

Continued thread

For those (all 2 of you) wondering what happened to my #snac instance, I decided that the limitations while initially well intentioned, were now less limiting due to the scope of the project and features being added over time - meaning it was almost back to a full-featured platform and I might as well be back on something like this.

So #Akkoma was, for me, the logical choice spin up. I see in the documentation it has #ejabberd integration, so might yet utilise that so I can sign into #xmpp with the same account, which would be kinda cool.

I am running both #prosody and #ejabberd for testing and am unsure which I prefer as yet. Possibly ejabberd for the webmin, which is quite nice.

Знаете, есть такие петухи, которые банят ни с хуя. Получают, разумеется такой же бан и навсегда. И хуй с ними, но. #snac такие события а ленте отображает, а #mastodon — нет

I announce the release of version 2.77 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It just reverts a feature included in previous version; links in posts were also included as attachments, but, while harmless and on spec, it made posts look ugly in some platforms, and what the world doesn't need is more ugly things.
