It’s not Tuesday yet, but it will be soon.
And I want to thank @grunfink for creating and maintaining snac. Tomorrow I’ll talk about FediMeteo at DevConf, and it would never have come to be if it weren’t for snac and for the help the author gave me in fixing some things to optimize its use.

True Open Source, made with passion, by people who do things for the love of the things themselves.

#ThankYouTuesday #snac #FediMeteo #Fediverse

Poking around...

so searching for a fedi microblogging backend or suite, almost compromising (rude) to mastodon (accurately, glitch) or pleroma, i almost fatefully got to know about #snac while i still need further research or actually play around with it, it seems to have passed a lot of my requirements :
+ lightweight
+ mature
+ still growing
+ multiuser
+ masto compat
+ repo on codeberg
+ author uses it
+ written in C (which i wanna learn)
+ #noai 💯

you can't know how i'm excited now..

@82mhz @rl_dane @daj that's why I like solutions like #snac. No nonsense decisions, but a specific idea behind.

Added a new admirations entry point to the web UI, containing a timeline of liked, boosted and reacted posts. Please take note that, after installing the new version, it will start empty, and be filled with subsequent reactions (contributed by violette).

It's now possible to disable showing posts in a given set of languages.

Nested quoted posts are limited up to 3 levels.

New configuration knob: by setting keep_replies_posts to true in server.json, remote posts that a local user has replied to are retained in the public timeline, preventing them from being purged (contributed by hanchan).

New configuration knob: by setting keep_replied_me to true in server.json, remote replies to local posts are retained in the public timeline, preventing them from being purged (contributed by hanchan).

Ensure actors' public key PEM never includes anything after the end marker.

Fixed some memory leaks (contributed by inz).

Several additional keyId checks (many thanks to lainsoykaf for bringing this to my attention).

Fixed crash in the JSON parser (many thanks to nullenvk for bringing this to my attention).

Mastodon API: fixed lost custom emojis after edition (contributed by e0w0e).

Updated French, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Spanish translations (contributed by dragondaddy, daltux, zen).

Nooiiceeee!!! Native push notifications for #snac2 on iPhone seems to work

@gyptazy made this in https://gyptazy.com/blog/snac2-native-push-notification-support/

Run #snac!

Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from #MastoBlaster App for iPhone.

What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @grunfink@comam.es to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @stefano@bsd.cafe for testing with me :)

snac2 sending push notifications to a user via MastoBlaster App on iPhone

Huh. I've never seen that before. In the #snac web interface, it shows up as a #WebMention.

Pity @tut isn't being developed anymore. :'(

snac is rather awesome software. It's lightweight, exceedingly fast and just works.

Thanks @grunfink@comam.es (and other contributors to the project).

Boosting your post, just in case anyone out there knows something.

ps -ww -p 88163 -u | awk '{for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) a[i,NR]=$i} END {for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) { val=a[i,2]; if(a[i,1]=="VSZ" || a[i,1]=="RSS") { val=sprintf("%.2f MB", val/1024) } print a[i,1] ":\t" val }}'

#snac

It only lacks auto-complete of handles and tags.

#snac

@df I love this idea and the software. I'm a great supporter of #snac exactly for the same reason. You don't need beefy hardware to have your own Fediverse home.
Starling is a nice because it can be used without setting up a proper server - just a php installation and a domain.

I'll keep this testing instance on and continue to test it with MastoBlaster.

Coming next week: a post about the FediMeteo bot, how it works, how it has evolved, and the overall structure of jails. The following week: caching the BSD Cafe Mastodon instances on nginx.

Stay tuned on ITNotes!

#ITNotes #haproxy #nginx #FreeBSD #Mastodon #snac

Also, I think it's important to remember that #snac also allows following hashtags by those RSS feeds provided by several Fediverse implementations (like Mastodon), avoiding the need of subscribing to a relay. E.g., you can add https://mastodon.social/tags/snac to the followed hashtags field, and it will periodically poll that RSS from the big instance and add to your timeline those posts tagged with #snac.

But, you can have snac running from a subdirectory of your main domain (which, as far as I know, no other fediverse implementation does). I.e. you can have your snac root in example.com/social and then you can identify as you@example.com . So you have no unnecessary subdomain just to be you.

Which is what I do for this very domain.
