Decidi subir uma instância do #Snac by @grunfink
#Snac is #Amazing

Melhor opção para quem quer hospedar uma instância single-user (ou para poucos users)

O meu usarei como minha instância em Inglês, provavelmente usarei mais como um microblog do que como uma rede social.

Continuo usando aqui como minha conta principal no Fediverso

My Snac: https://cesar.rocha.social/bruno

Obrigado @daltux "roubei" seu CSS :)

The difference from other Mastodon API clients is that this one has #snac as a first class citizen.

I'm so glad!

Attention #GoToSocial people: I have been testing @mastoblaster - an iOS Fediverse client - and it's working SO WELL! It's even grouping GtS notifications... something that Ivory doesn't do.

Congratulations @stefano for your brilliant work on it!

Sin entrar en muchos detalles:
0. Elegir un nombre de dominio que os haga únicos: carnecruda.radio o carnecrudaradio.es o ... lo que sea.
1. Contrata un servidor en la red donde instalar el servidor ActivityPub (el protocolo base sobre el que funciona Mastodon); a vosotros os vendría muy bien tener otros servicios que funcionan como él porque no sois una mera red social. Asignáis el dominio al servidor y ...
2. Diseña cómo quieres la arquitectura: una cuenta única es buena sólo para primeros contactos o para anuncios. En vuestro caso una cuenta por cada uno de los que tenéis allí, que puedan expresarse sobre lo que sean y, dado que el límite de cuentas es muy lejano, una por cada sección o por cada invitado más o menos regular.
3. Migráis los seguidores y seguidos de la cuenta de ahora en mastodon.online @carnecrudaradio@mastodon.online a la cuenta base como @carnecruda@carnecruda.radio o cualquier cosa sencilla de recordar.
4. Comenzáis a publicar y a seguir (y tal vez a bloquear) a personas de otras servidores.
5. Y ya, lo demás es ponerse a construir una red y dejar que crezca y crezca y vaya por ahí haciendo cosas.

Sigue consultando porque aquí hay personal muy válido para estos detalles.

Y, ojo, esto sin saber si tenéis más contenido. Los podcasts, se me ocurre, pueden estar alojados en funkwhale, otro software libre y del fediverso con el que conectar. Hay muchas más opciones pero yo diría que lo principal es el dominio y luego el servidor. Y de ahí a las estrellas. 🙂

After quite some time, I’m finally ready to share this.

MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.

It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.

What makes it different:
• snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"
• Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others
• EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)
• Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline
• Markdown posting for snac
• Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account
• Blocking and moderation tools
• Very small footprint, very low RAM usage

Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.

It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.

Important note:
MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.

The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.

Stay tuned.

Also, thanks to: byte, dandelions, oxzi, davidrv00, ag-eitilt, pmjv, zen, daltux and anyone else I may have missed for contributing to this release!

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.90 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/31230

1 of 3 GitHub Continuous Integration checks completed successfully.

Fingers crossed the other two go off without a hitch. If so, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

Mhhh.. #snac crashes when it start's in my Dual Pentium II system. It's performing at start a heavy job "started deferred data integrity check", which does lot IO.
When I turn off the traffic from outside, it seems to run (takes ages). But when I turn on the traffic to it, it crashes with
`Illegal instruction (core dumped)`

I took the installation over from the PIII system and activated the MP #OpenBSD kernel. (Do you really have to cp it from the CD by yourself??)

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

One slightly weird thing I had is that inbound #ipv6 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.

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

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 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 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…

Alt...

A black narrow 2’ gauge steam train with people around it on the Brecon Mountain Railway. The plaque on the front says it was made in Philadelphia in 1930.

Here's a script to backup to Backblaze B2 with just Jq as an additional dependency (and the included curl, tar, openssl etc.). It works so far...
