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:

                          I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.75 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

                          Added support for scheduled posts (for this to work correctly, users will have to set their time zone, see below).

                          The user can now select a working time zone. This will be used to correctly parse the local date and time of a scheduled post.

                          Fixed incorrect poll vote format, which was causing problems in platforms like GotoSocial.

                          Mastodon API: added support for /api/v1/instance/peers.

                          Added a new snac-admin helper script (contributed by shtrophic).

                          In the web UI, posts are separated by the <hr hidden> tag; it's invisible in graphical browsers, but it separates post clearly in text-based browsers.

                          Some Finnish, Spanish, Czech and Russian translation updates and fixes.

                            I've just noticed that all the instances aren't listed on FediDB anymore (all the FediMeteo ones, the snac BSD Cafe one, etc.)
