Thank you!

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.76 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/28373

GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks passed!

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

Thanks to you and dandelions and shtrophic (and anyone else I may have missed) for the continued contributions and improvements!

      I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.76 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

      Added Webmention support for links (Markdown-style or direct) written in a post.

      Added new command-line options for list maintenance.

      Display custom emoji in more places (contributed by dandelions).

      Mastodon API: fixed infinite scroll in many clients (thanks to cheeaun for giving me the clue), added /api/v1/accounts/.../lists endpoint (contributed by dandelions).

      Email notifications can now be sent via libcurl SMTP instead of spawning the /usr/sbin/sendmail program. To use this new feature, some additional server configuration is needed, see snac(8) (contributed by shtrophic).

        Oh well lesson learned. Be careful how many large photos you post on your single user instance. Just DDoS myself for a moment there. Looked at the stats on and I was maxing out the 100Mb uplink. Thank God for the fantastic Andrews & Arnold 1G/100Mb fttp connection.

          I love independent proposals, so next release of will include support for Webmention. It's a protocol built on top of web standards and part of the IndieWeb. It helps web page maintainers and bloggers to know when one of their URLs are mentioned in other platforms by providing a webhook to receive notifications. In snac's case, all links written in a Fediverse post (directly or using the Markdown format) will be tested for Webmention endpoints and notified if they exist.

          I don't know how many web sites out there implement Webmention (I guess very few), but given that it has been very simple to implement, here it is.

          Long live the non-big-tech Internet.

              I've just enjoyed this fascinating conversation between @firesidefedi@social.firesidefedi.live and @stefano@bsd.cafe, where the latter explains how he planted the seed of the incredibly friendly, great and extense community that is the BSD Cafe. Open source, owning you own data and the importance of interconnecting people is talked about here. Of course, Stefano also talked about https://fedimeteo.com/, his great project that makes weather information available to the whole Fediverse; this makes me, as the developer of (one of the pieces of software that operates Fedimeteo), also a bit proud of being a part of.

              As Stefano says, "you can't describe passion", but you can feel it from his words.

                    Due to decades of experience per programmer, state-of-the-art development processes and a diligent QA department, you can write /etc/hosts (or even /etc/passwd) in a post and let the verb be spread to the world.

                    Not so in other platforms:
