I've just updated my #Snac instance to version 2.79 👍 🎉
You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
A simple, minimalistic and well documented #ActivityPub instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.

Non saresti da solo, esattamente come non sei solo nel fediverso.

Incontreresti persone diverse dalle solite, meno conformiste, perché capaci di resistere alla paura di essere diverso o di essere "tagliato fuori" da relezioni spesso frettolose e superficiali (tanto da poter essere definite più "interazioni" che "relazioni").

Perché a ben guardare, chi non si può sbattere a scriverti una mail o contattarti via #Element/ #Matrix o via #XMPP, evidentemente non ha grande interesse a comunicare con te.

E d'altro canto, rinunciando ad uniformarti, apri la strada ad altri che non penseranno più (ad esempio) "su Matrix sarei da solo" ma "su Matrix trovo Marco".

Io non uso né #Telegram#WhatsApp e chi mi vuole trovare può scegliere fra email, Matrix e XMPP. E se vuole chiaccherare in pubblico, anche il #Fediverse tramite alla mia istanza #snac2 da cui ti sto scrivendo. E indovina un po'? Sono vivo è ho una ricca vita sociale.

"Si può fare!" (cit.) 😉

My relay instance for the #Fediverse evolved in a great way - more than 120 instances are already connected to boost your posts across the Fediverse.

If you're running #snac / #snac2, #Mastodon, #Pleroma or any other software on the #ActivityPub protocol that supports relay instances - feel free to join the relay! Hopefully #GoToSocial also supports relay services soon! Of course #IPv6 is supported (for IPV6 only instances).

Do you run your own mastodon single user instance? Could you tell me a no-nonsense monthly dollar amount of how much it cost to run your instance the last 3 months?

I'd like to know real-world costs... If your response is "it's free for me!" or "I'm such an incredible person that it costs me $0" then it's not an useful answer.

Ballpark figures, or replies by DM are great. TIA!

@afreytes@mastodon.gamedev.place It's running in spare capacity on a small fanless PC that's acting as my home router. Storage is about 1GB at the moment.

I'm using #snac2, and it would probably run happily (but a bit slower) on a Raspberry Pi 3. So if you're talking of only running an instance on a single bit of hardware (which would be very wasteful) about £50 for the hardware (basic Pi + SD card) and much less than £1 a month to run it.

You could easily run a personal snac2 instance on the base package of any VPS provider, with capacity to spare for other stuff.

Hi Feedverse!!!

Big thanks to Stefano Marinelli (@stefano@bsd.cafe),
our dedicated admin keeping BSD.cafe running smoothly.
Stefano is always such a positive presence, and his work
is the foundation of our feedverse home.

And a huge shoutout to The Real Grunfink ( @grunfink@comam.es),
creator of the excellent #snac #ActivityPub server.
Snac truly embodies the KISS and minimalist principles – simple,
efficient, and powerful software that makes the Fediverse better.

These two contribute significantly to our online space.
If you value their efforts and the spirit of their work,
consider supporting them financially.
Every bit helps keep these vital parts of the decentralized web thriving.

Thank you, Stefano and Grunfink!
