I've just published version 2.84 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. This time, it includes mostly work by great, brilliant fellow developers while I was just sitting on the porch with the cats on my lap and a beer in my hand:

Implemented more scopes to match other ActivityPub implementations (public, unlisted, followers-only and direct message) (contributed by byte).

New icons showing instance and actor failures.

Mastodon API: Added remote accounts follow metrics and statuses when viewing profiles (contributed by Stefano Marinelli), fixed post deletion.

Fixed outbox collection (contributed by byte).

New file FEDERATION.md (contributed by andypiper).

Updated Czech, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese translations (contributed by pmjv and daltux).

Fixed manpage typos (contributed by r-ricci).

        And thanks to byte, @stefano@bsd.cafe, andypiper, pmjv, daltux, r-ricci and any others I may have missed for their contributions to this release as well!

        I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.84 here:

        https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/29810

        1 out of 3 of GitHub's Continuous Integration checks passed, which is a good sign the other two will pass as well.

        It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

                          Is there any data on how much this is being used? Seems like people were clamoring for them, but I rarely see them in my feed.

                            Use them quite a bit. So far they have only been available on .social and .online, but with the next major release they will be available to all, so expect to see it a lot more.

                              I'm not on mastodon, but on a personal snac instance. I'm curious what those will look like to me. @mastodonmigration@mastodon.online have you posted any?

                              Maybe it will need to be added to snac and/or I'll need to update my css. Or maybe I should ask @grunfink@comam.es ?

                                                      Khusus ente ane masih mikir gimana cara buildnya, kalo langsung di VPS kayaknya ga bakalan selesai karena storage udah mepet sedangkan di local ane cuma ada ARM64 device. Mau emulasi kok bolak balik gagal.

                                                        karena storage utama (OS) di VPS yang 20GB itu tidak cukup untuk menghandle jails, maka ane hapus semua dan reinstall sistem.

                                                        di VPS ane ada 2 disk, yaitu vtbd0 (20GB) sebagai disk primary dan vtbd1 (500GB) sebagai logical. Agar jails tidak habisin disk di vtbd0 maka ane set supaya folder jail pakai space storage di vtbd1.

                                                        proses reinstall cepet tapi ini pakai template dari VPS, problemnya swap yang dialokasikan cuma 512MB, menurut ane masih kurang maka ane tambah swap di vtbd1 sebesar 1GB sehingga total swap 1,5GB.

                                                        di vtbd1 ane bikin 4 partisi, seperti di gambar. Sekarang disk utama lebih lega dan ga khawatir out of space lagi.

                                                            sampai pusing ane install #ente, dokumentasi ga jelas dan developer lebih prefer docker.

                                                            sebenarnya ente sudah jalan di VPS, tapi masih kena limitasi storage tersedia 10GB saja dari total storage 200GB. Untuk merubahnya harus build lagi namanya ente cli, proses lagi anj*ng!.

                                                            setelah proses, commandnya error mulu dipakainya anjng anjng anj*ng.

Currently I use #gotosocial which is great but I'm curious about other options. Running a second instance with a different domain for friends or a second account is appealing to me.

                                                                                                • snac uses the filesystem as the database, which means a lot of small files and symbolic links. If you want to be disk-efficient, you want to store the snac folder on a filesystem with a small block size. Compression might help since it's json.

                                                                                                                          Essa é uma funcionalidade que poderia ser até mais destacada, pois já tentei fazer o mesmo em outro servidor que também suporta Markdown (Akkoma/Mangane), sem sucesso.

                                                                                                                          SNAC é um servidor ActivityPub extremamente minimalista e, por isso, bem peculiar, porém apresenta algumas funções únicas, como essa. Ele não é ideal para quem quer utilizá-lo majoritariamente com aplicativos clientes feitos para a API , pois seu funcionamento é bem distinto daquele mais comum e não tem o compromisso de apresentar as mesmas soluções para as mesmas funcionalidades. Mesmo assim, há casos em que se adequa muito bem. Se não faz questão de ficar o tempo todo interagindo com a Federação ActivityPub ou, por exemplo, se pretende criar um perfil para publicação automatizada por algum :shell: na máquina em que ele está rodando, isso fica muito fácil, pois já possui tudo que precisa no comando, além de ser pouco exigente em requisitos de memória e processamento. Pode ser compilado em praticamente qualquer plataforma POSIX e seus arquivos ficam numa árvore única de diretórios, tornando a transferência para outra máquina relativamente bem simples. Sua interface na Web é simples para quem utiliza e também para quem lê, ao sequer exigir a execução de JavaScript. Apenas HTML e CSS.

                                                                                                                          Como analista de tecnologia da informação, especulando sobre o ciclo de vida dos sistemas, considero provável que, por ter mínimas dependências, SNAC demore bem mais que outros servidores mais complexos para se inviabilizar ou precisar sofrer reescritas drásticas, desde que se forme uma comunidade maior que o mantenha ativo se porventura faltar seu criador.

Not so long ago the mutual acquaintances handshake icon would not be displayed in any browser even though I had the correct fonts installed. I even submitted a request to to be able to change the icon to something else if needed by OpenBSD users. But today after an update on the 7.8 snapshot I notice that they are displayed correctly now making it easier for me to see who is a mutual. Nice one OpenBSD ❤️ :runbsd: :openbsd:

                                                                                                                                        As I use the Snac2 Debian package provided by @sergiodj@snac.sergiodj.net from Debian Backports, I had to adjust some settings so that it would continue to be updated

                                                                                                                                        First I modernised the apt sources post Trixie upgrade with 'sudo apt modernize-sources' , then edited my backports entry to match the Trixie entry here https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ and ran 'apt update'

                                                                                                                                        Once the sources were updated I reinstalled Snac2 by running 'apt install -t trixie-backports snac2' which updated the existing Snac2 package to 2.83

                                                                                                                                        I then rebooted the server for good measure and started typing this

Incoming activity from any of these instances resets the counter.
