So far so good as has survived and my website. Git upgraded but cgit has a wee issue that it won't display the tree files contents but will if you click plain. Probably some highlighter issue ??

    TL;DR: I'm going to abandon this account, please follow me on my new account: gmc@snac.chasmcity.net.

    So, now that I'm convinced is the way to go, I'll be abandoning this account on my friendica server. I'll continue to boost my posts from snac on this account for a while, but at some point that'll stop.

    If you're following me on this account, please start following me on gmc@snac.chasmcity.net (and if you don't like to see my posts twice in your timeline, unfollow this account).

    Thanks!

                    I've just published version 2.82 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

                    The language in which a post is written can now be set from the UI; you must configure the list of languages you usually post in in the User Settings.

                    Added support for bullet points in posts (lines starting with an asterisk or a hyphen, plus a space).

                    Added Dutch (nl_NL) translation (contributed by martijndeb).

                    Added Western Frisian (fy_NL) translation (contributed by martijndeb).

                    Mastodon API: Fixed repeated entries in timelines.

                    Added nodeinfo 2.1 support.

                    Fixed boosts from the command line not showing in the public timeline (contributed by xvello).

                    Updated several language files (contributed by zen and daltux).

                    Retrieving a post's replies is now possible via ActivityPub.

                      This goes through your fediverse bookmarks and adds them to your readeck instance or youtube watch list automatically. New release handles having several fediverse accounts (but only saved to one readeck instance / youtube watchlist).

                        Alright I've got myself a 1GB RAM VPS for $12 for the year (a 4x increase over the Pi 😆). It's in London and everything for super low latency! I managed to get installed through some hackery and migrate my blog and instance to it.

                        One slightly weird thing I had is that inbound traffic on both SSH and HTTPS was returning a "connection reset by peer" for a while. It seems to be working now, but if some IPv6 folks can check https://cablespaghetti.dev loads properly over v6 for them now, it would put my mind at rest.

                          In unsurprising on a news. I am increasingly fed up of having to restart it when it crashes due to running out of memory. It happens quite often when I post and sometimes when I don’t. I think this is due to having more content on disk than when I first set it up.

                          I may have to move it to slightly more powerful hardware for my own sanity…

                              In snac on an ancient Raspberry Pi news, I switched from XFS to Btrfs and my memory pressure issues are now a thing of the past. As a bonus I can use snapshots for backups instead of taring up the many small files that snac generates (it has no traditional database).

                              I tried tuning various parameters but after some reading came to the conclusion that lots of small files with very little RAM is about the worst case scenario for XFS.

                                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.

                                  In an unsurprising development, my 256MB Raspberry Pi hosted server decided to get OOMKilled this morning just before I boarded a steam train in Wales.

                                  I quickly restarted the service from the platform but then it got killed again and I didn’t notice until this evening. I have now rebooted the server, maybe that will help until I get home from my camping trip with my kids.

                                  For those who don’t care about my latest ADHD obsession, don’t worry I’m sure I’ll move on to a different one soon, and here’s a steam train…

I just got blocked by someone who seems to post regularly but has 0 followers and 0 following over on defcon.social. How strange!

The combination of the load from sending out to many ActivityPub servers and all those servers trying to generate a thumbnail card thing by hitting the website was just too much for the little Pi. I'll have to see if I can do anything to optimise caching...
