Well, now I think about it, it could be possible to hack #snac to run on a #9front machine.

@jupiter_rowland@hub.netzgemeinde.eu

Because it's technically impossible to set up a Fediverse server with absolutely no AI code underneath whatsoever

PRs, diff patches and bug reports must not incorporate any material generated by or with the assistance of any so-called "generative AI" tool or LLM.

If I recall correctly, the Gotosocial Fediverse software also have a very clear position in this topic (i.e. no AI).

You're very right in the OS positions regarding LLMs, sadly. The nearest to what I approve is NetBSD, but it's not totally clean.

just append the url with ?terse=true

behold and compare the results!

Friendly periodic reminder that snac is a great, great piece of software.

I've upgraded #FediMeteo in minutes, recompiling snac *inside each jail*.

The Fediverse, as the Fediverse should be.

Fixed a bug in the notification page that made snac hang forever while trying to read abnormally big files.

Improved support for text-only web browsers: it's now possible to configure a set of web browser user-agent strings that will receive simpler HTML in the private timeline web UI. Basically, it consists in avoiding details / summary HTML tags as much as possible.

Added some fixes to media proxy code.

Fixed EmojiReact code to allow any emoticon defined in emojis.json, not only those with colon-wrapped identifiers.

Fixed a bug in notification filtering (paging was sometimes incorrect).

Added a notification filter for Webmentions.

Mastodon API: Don't return reactions count as string (contributed by mkljczk), implemented GET /v1/media (contributed by clairemont).

Fixed bug in documentation examples (contributed by Sprite_tm).

Updated Ukrainian and Russian translations (contributed by wincentbalin and koru).

Whenever I finally understand what is making snac fail, I'll publish a version that mitigates this.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Can some kind person please reply to this test post so I can see if my #snac notifications issue is totally resolved? ❤️

Hopefully I can click on the new notifications that come in now ?

Mastodon is great. But littleFedi, snac, GoToSocial, Mitra, Akkoma, etc. - they all share a mission: make sure people will be able to self host their instances without investing a huge sum.

Yesterday’s post received an unexpected amount of appreciation, and the little Raspberry Pi Zero W didn’t even flinch.

#CrazyFediverseAnalogies

@the_coffee_lover yes! I
set up a #snac instance just a few weeks ago.

It’s been purring along nicely, without ever giving me any trouble.

I just adjusted my relay instance which now also finally supports #GoToSocial! Of course, it also supports Pleroma, snac, Mastodon, littlefedi, starling and many other ones!

With relays, your own posted content gets distributed to all connected instances, as well you get the content all other instances. Currently, mostly tech related instances are connected, focusing on #Linux, #Proxmox, #BSD / #FreeBSD, #IPv6 and many other things!

There is a person I've been helping for a while who runs two instances, one #GoToSocial and one #snac.

Yesterday, they suffered severe file system corruption on their device, and I lent them a hand with the recovery. For GoToSocial, they restored the DB from the previous backup and got it running again. For snac, although a few files were lost, no action was necessary... it just started back up and did what it had to do, bringing the instance back to full operation.

This goes to show that when software is well-designed and intentionally kept simple, it's also easier to get back up and running when something goes wrong. In this case, snac's "files-only" approach demonstrated excellent resilience.

Thanks, @grunfink !

Somehow my main instance, which is a large Mastodon server operated by professionals, is significantly slower than my little single-user #snac instance running on the Raspi Zero in my shelf.

I may change it to return the correct code eventually, but I don't consider it a priority.

The author of a replied post is no longer added to the CC: line, as it does not have much sense.

Fixed mentions for users with hyphens in their identifiers.

Unlisted replies to unknown posts were being skipped from the timeline, so don't do that.

If an actor marked as broken gets a post boosted (proving that is [back] functioning), it's unmarked as such.

Don't try (and fail) to parse non-UTC dates in posts (I'll provide a real fix eventually).

Fixed a redirection loop in the /users alias.

Mastodon API: fixed a bug that made changing the sensitive content string impossible, avatars and headers can be deleted (contributed by bm90).

Updated Czech and Italian translations (contributed by pmjv and fidiben).

@jspath55 @stefano Nice! Perhaps I’ll do something similar with my single core RISC-V email server. A gig of RAM is extreme overkill for an email server.

Curious - what’re the advantages and disadvantages of LittleFedi compared with, say, #snac?
