I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' OpenSSH to 10.1p1 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/28592
GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed OK!
Alas, the agent.patch that iamGavinJ had created, doesn't apply cleanly, in large part because ssh-agent.c has been reworked significantly with this release.
Subsequently, I closed this previous Pull Request: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/28592 not because I didn't want to restore that functionality to launchd, but because it will require more effort than I can give such things at this time.
But, check out these improvements to ssh-agent from the OpenSSH 10.1 release notes:
"ssh-agent(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent.1), sshd(8): move agent listener sockets from /tmp to
under ~/.ssh/agent for both ssh-agent(1) and forwarded sockets
in sshd(8).
This ensures processes that have restricted filesystem access
that includes /tmp do not ambiently have the ability to use keys
in an agent.
Moving the default directory has the consequence that the OS will
no longer clean up stale agent sockets, so ssh-agent now gains
this ability.
To support $HOME on NFS, the socket path includes a truncated
hash of the hostname. ssh-agent will, by default, only clean up
sockets from the same hostname.
ssh-agent(1) gains some new flags: -U suppresses the automatic
cleanup of stale sockets when it starts. -u forces a cleanup
without keeping a running agent, -uu forces a cleanup that ignores
the hostname. -T makes ssh-agent put the socket back in /tmp."
Anyway, I updated this as well:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/72482
I should probably actually close this ticket now that I think of it (fingers crossed that adding that to the PR is sufficient, since I forgot to add that note to the commit message as is typically preferred: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/73084).

I've just published version 2.82 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:
The language in which a post is written can now be set from the UI; you must configure the list of languages you usually post in in the User Settings.
Added support for bullet points in posts (lines starting with an asterisk or a hyphen, plus a space).
Added Dutch (nl_NL) translation (contributed by martijndeb).
Added Western Frisian (fy_NL) translation (contributed by martijndeb).
Mastodon API: Fixed repeated entries in timelines.
Added nodeinfo 2.1 support.
Fixed boosts from the command line not showing in the public timeline (contributed by xvello).
Updated several language files (contributed by zen and daltux).
Retrieving a post's replies is now possible via ActivityPub.

Thank you!
Also thanks to: martijndeb, xvello, zen, daltux and anyone else I may have missed!
I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.82 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/29259
The GitHub Continuous Integration checks are still running.
Assuming they complete OK, it's still up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

I've had it with the aggressive #AI #crawlers now. Some bot has been hitting #MacPorts with a legitimate enough user agent that I can't block it without also blocking users.
Yesterday, it sent 377k requests (62 % of the total), 369k to URLs forbidden in robots.txt from 274k unique IPs. Most of it for content that could be analyzed quicker using svn checkout or git clone.
Dynamic content on the #web is broken. There's just no way to do that anymore. What a waste of energy.

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.81 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/29032
GitHub Actions' Continuous Integration checks has passed OK, which hopefully is a good sign?
It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.
(As a total aside, given the comam.es .es TLD; I'm guessin you're in Spain? I have tentative plans to attend the MIRA Festival [mostly to see Amnesia Scanner] in November. Albeit, that's in Barcelona and I vaguely understand there are linguistic, cultural and socio-political differences? I've never visited before; but thought I would mention it as a possibility to meet up AFK maybe!)

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.81 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:
If the propagate_local_purge configuration variable is set to true in server.json, purged local posts generate a Delete activity that is sent everywhere, instead of only deleted from the filesystem.
Included a small tweak to avoid being confused by implementations that return valid webfinger queries for non-account URLs (like i.e. the Wordpress ActivityPub plugin in some configurations). This helps in searching by URL.
Added Ukrainian translation (contributed by wincentbalin).
New command-line option muted, to list all MUTEd actors.
Mastodon API: Fixed metadata and follower approval flag when editing the account.

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.
