Interesting, I never noticed #snac completely renders federated WordPress posts.
Another small marvel from truly excellent software.
And I love #snac because, among many great things, it supports Markdown. I can't thank you enough, @grunfink@comam.es
#ThankYou

This phrase appears in the "under the hood" section of my blog.
Just now I was reading a post by an "influencer" on a well-known social media platform. The post was biased, lacking in content, useless. Digital waste. A waste of bits and energy. Shortly after, I read a fantastic post written by a user of a #snac instance, and I know it's running on a Raspberry Pi, at their home.
And that phrase immediately came to mind.
Goodnight, world.
#Reflection
I've just published version version 2.80 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It only includes one bugfix; if you use the Mastodon API, you may be interested in upgrading:
Mastodon API: fixed a regression (introduced in previous version in the "boosts disappear in Tusky" fix) that interrupted timelines.

FWIW, I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.80 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/28828
Thanks to Renee Otten, it was merged!
My apologies for the delayed notification; I haven't been feelin particularly "social" media or otherwise.
Probably has something to do with the fact that I attended Anime Expo ever so briefly on Friday and felt so overwhelmed that I basically spent about 4 hours there, despite having shelled out for a four day pass?
Still trying to get back to some sort of introvert equilibrium after being around such enormous crowds.

For today's #ThankYouTuesday, I'd like to thank everyone who supports the Fediverse. So, that means you. Yes, you, the one reading this.
Thank you!
The Fediverse truly is for everyone: if you don't have the skills or means to set up your own instance, you can join one of the public instances that aligns with your aspirations. If you can and want to, you can create your own instance, and thanks to lightweight (and interoperable) software, you can do it with spare hardware or very affordable VPS.
So thank you to all of you, friends of the Fediverse!

In unsurprising #snac on a #raspberrypi news. I am increasingly fed up of having to restart it when it crashes due to running out of memory. It happens quite often when I post and sometimes when I don’t. I think this is due to having more content on disk than when I first set it up.
I may have to move it to slightly more powerful hardware for my own sanity…

I've just published version 2.79 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:
Added a server-wide Webmention hook; this way, if somebody out there (that supports Webmention) links to a user or post in this instance, a notification is sent (this is the complementary of what was implemented in version 2.76).
Fixed regression while sending email via pipe on OpenBSD.
Fixed Markdown parsing when the URL has parenthesis.
Always show the 'pending follow confirmations' section if there are any (even if the toggle is off).
If a metadata value is an account handler, it's also tried to be validated (rel="me" links).
Another search by URL tweak (this time for Pixelfed links).
Mastodon API: fixed a bug that made some boosts disappear after being shown in apps like Tusky, added followed hashtags maintenance, other minor changes.
Renamed command-line actions create_list
to list_create
and delete_list
to list_remove
.
The default favicon URL can be changed from the server configuration.
New command-line option export_posts
, to export all posts by a user in a JSON format compatible with the one generated by Mastodon.
The command-line options to send notes also allow an optional -r
argument, to set the URL of a Fediverse post this note is a reply to.

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.
