cablespaghetti.dev 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.
Is it possible to have my snac instance use TOR to federate *and* to have it available over clearweb at the same time?
Would this mean that my instance pulls data from other instances using TOR, but other instances would only use the clearweb to pull data from me, so they could be blocked at the national level?
Now we have #snac2 https://calibernode.com/cloud-apps/snac2 and #betula https://calibernode.com/cloud-apps/betula added to #calibernode 😎
Post your #NeverSlop tech stack!
I'm thinking...
(I haven't tried all of these yet)

That might explain why I have a single instance snac
server, and still get basically spam posts.
I know I get something similar to that when there is
like a secondary relationship thru someone i am following.
But these things I see seemingly have no connecting relationships.
Yeah, I'm not enthused about the *key / *oma web interfaces. I can understand why an admin would care more about the backend, but as a user, the front-end is what I'm more concerned with. ;)
#snac2 is cool, and I'm looking forward to seeing how #littleFedi matures. :)
@shadychars
If it helps, #snac2 is (or can be) pretty minimal and is used by someone (I think named a variant of "Stef", but I forget which of the various "Stef"s from Fedi) on here as the basis of a weather-forecast-distributing-server-thing which presumably means it might be adaptable to your idea too?
(Sorry if mentioning this is interrupting the thread...)

Max poll options doubled to 16.
Replies to my posts are no longer automatically purged (if I understood the manpage correctly).
Thanks to the snac author for the perfect ActivityPub implementation for me 🍻 #snac2

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.

@grunfink I feel like this SNAAQ fact should be brought to your attention: https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:iskdt7ztxrpiliznjaaacs5i/post/3mu2peopjmk2t / @andreazanin.bsky.social
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 !
