schmonz.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.

Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice). #foss #OpenSource
Yesterday, I told you about incus - today I tell you how you can easily run #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD & #NetBSD with #incus!

Great stuff from @lornajane
“Start with a good README, clear getting started instructions, and some key usage points, and you won’t go far wrong…Documentation is one of the most valuable and transferable skills for developers too, so it’s very much worth your time and effort personally as well as for the project.”
Is the #Fediverse really open for #freedom?
In the last weeks, I noticed more & more messages from different instances/admins about moderation, banning and de-federations. Initially, people told the Fediverse is more open, not blocking and deleting content compared to other social medias. However, I think it shifted to the opposite where a single instance admin decides for the whole user base (which might not even be aware of it).

Have you bought/read my second book yet?
If you have, PLEASE review it on Amazon. Currently there are ZERO reviews there, which means the book is effectively invisible.
Would that authors didn't need to rely on such things, but the reality is that we do. Can you lend a hand and fill in the review gaps?
Mastodon entwickelt sich weiter: Gründer Eugen Rochko übergibt seine Rolle als CEO, um sich künftig auf die technische Entwicklung zu konzentrieren. Die Führung geht an eine neue europäische Non-Profit-Organisation über. Ziel ist, Mastodon dauerhaft als dezentrales, werbefreies und gemeinnütziges soziales Netzwerk zu sichern. Dieser Schritt soll organisatorische Stabilität schaffen und die Abhängigkeit von Einzelpersonen reduzieren. Die neue Struktur stärkt die Unabhängigkeit von Mastodon, erleichtert Kooperationen und verbessert die Vertretung gegenüber der Öffentlichkeit. Eugen bleibt als Entwickler und technischer Berater aktiv. Die Vision: Ein demokratischeres, transparenteres und dauerhaft community-getriebenes Netzwerk.
• Rochko tritt als CEO zurück
• Neue Non-Profit führt Mastodon
• Fokus auf Transparenz und Stabilität
• Weiterhin dezentral, werbefrei und offen
• Entwicklerrolle bleibt bei Eugen

Anubis is designed to protect websites from AI scraper bots, Anubis primarily focuses on parameters like the user agent sent with the request and looks for oddities in the connection. “Known good” and harmless clients are always accepted, and “Known bad” clients are always denied. Now the same tool is used to get protection from a DDoS attack: https://fabulous.systems/posts/2025/05/anubis-saved-our-websites-from-a-ddos-attack/
My relay instance for the #Fediverse evolved in a great way - more than 120 instances are already connected to boost your posts across the Fediverse.
If you're running #snac / #snac2, #Mastodon, #Pleroma or any other software on the #ActivityPub protocol that supports relay instances - feel free to join the relay! Hopefully #GoToSocial also supports relay services soon! Of course #IPv6 is supported (for IPV6 only instances).
@shanselman thank you for your work! Let's hope this important pillar of #OpenSource gets the community and corporate funding it needs.
