Bummed that I can’t attend #fediCon2026 this year but wishing all attendees a great time and much interesting conversation and presentations!

It’s really wonderful to see the community growing and reaching.

#fediverse #mastodon #fedicon

https://fedicon.ca

I've sometimes thought about building a service combining #OSM and the #Fediverse, to talk with people in the same region.

It would be 100% anonymous: a dedicated account, with no link to your existing Fedi identity, and why not #E2EE for messages.

No exact location: posts are attached to the nearest town, so neither the server nor other users see your coordinates.

Anonymity could be what makes people comfortable enough to talk with people around them. Everyone stays in a safe place.

🚗 HABOTEST HT662 Review: Professional Digital Brake Fluid Tester

Ajatuksia fediversumin käytöstä sekä kysymyksiä!

Kun rupesin käyttämään mastoronttia ja nyt täällä sitten mementomorin kautta huutelen niin huomasin pitäväni tästä somesta.

En kuitenkaan nyt saarnaa kuorolle vaan kysyn mielipiteitä kaamealla anglismilla saatettuna:

-Omien tuuttausten uudelleen Boostaus? Onko ihan hyvä idea? jos vaikka jakaa pitkän aivopierunsa keskellä yötä tai aikaisin aamusta ja boostaa sitä sitten uudestaan vaikka seuraavana päivänä jotta saavuttaisi muitakin. Onko tämä turhaa touhua ja spämmintää vai ihan ok toimintaa tai jopa tarpeellista?

-Postauksista tykkääminen...se ei siis edistä postauksen näkyvyyttä? Tykkääminen on vain digitaalinen "kiva kun kerroit 👍 " sekä laittaa tuutin talteen itselleen. Ja tästä siis kysymys: Miksi tämä toiminto on olemassa? eikö pelkkä boostaus riittäisi?

Tämmöisiä tuli mieleen. Opastakaa ja kouluttakaa minua ilman ennakko odotuksia! Olettakaa vain että olen vähän tymä ja minulle pitää selittää asioita.

#fediverse #mastodon #mastodonsuomi #iamnewhere

PS: Miten ja mistä pääsen tukemaan Mementomori instanssia? @ry olisin valmis jopa maksamaan jotain näin hyvästä instanssista per kk.

Sometimes newer is not better. At least not for the things that matter to you.

I benchmarked two OVH VPS in the same Zurich location. My current 2025 model with a 500 Mbit network against the newer 2027 model with 1 Gbit. Same AMD EPYC Genoa cores, same provider, nearly identical sysbench CPU scores.

Then the surprises started.
The older box pushes 6,612 MiB/s in memory tests, the newer one 932 MiB/s. That is 7x.
Random 4K reads: 1.32 million IOPS against 832k.
And the old model is even about 1 EUR cheaper.

For a Mastodon instance, databases, and Docker workloads, memory and disk beat extra bandwidth every time. So the shiny new VPS gets demoted to reverse proxy and backup duty, and this instance stays exactly where it is.

Benchmark before you migrate.

Screenshot of the OVH control panel showing two active VPS in the EU-WEST-LZ-ZRH location: vps-817e781a.vps.ovh.net labeled vps-2027-model2.LZ and zrh-1.dol.ch labeled vps-2025-model1.LZ. Both marked Active, the model names underlined in red

The numbers behind the previous post, for the curious.

Same fio and sysbench setup on both boxes, Debian 13, direct=1, libaio.

Random read 4K, the workload databases actually live on:
1.41M IOPS on the 2025 box against 822k on the 2027 one.

RAM bandwidth: 64,038 MiB/s against 11,906. That is 5.4x.

Single thread CPU: 4,504 against 4,147 events/sec. Same EPYC Genoa on paper.

And here is my favorite part. The old box ran all of this while carrying my entire production: Mastodon, Postgres, Valkey, a pile of Docker containers, 17 days of uptime.

The new box was empty and idle.

The loaded veteran still won almost everything.

#SelfHosting #VPS #Benchmarks #fio #sysbench #Homelab #MastoAdmin #Fediverse

Email from @OVHcloud this morning: the bandwidth on my VPS went from 400 Mbit to 1 Gbit. Same plan, same price, nothing for me to do.

This is the box running dol.social. The one I benchmarked last month, on the grounds that its memory and disk beat the newer 2027 model and the network gap did not matter enough to move.

The network gap is now gone too.

Correction while I am here: I said 500 Mbit in that thread. It was 400. The conclusion holds, my number did not.

#SelfHosting #VPS #OVH #Mastodon #Homelab #Fediverse #Blog #Thoughts

Alt...

Screenshot of an email from OVHcloud. The message says that to meet the performance needs of applications and services, the public bandwidth included in the VPS 2027 range has been increased, and that instances now benefit from up to double the throughput at no additional cost. Below is a table listing one VPS with its hostname partly greyed out, showing previous bandwidth of 400 Mbit per second and new bandwidth of 1000 Mbit per second.

Full disclosure on the cost of that free upgrade.

The reboot to pick it up hung at the hypervisor level and took the instance with it. Almost 15 hours of downtime, 41.91% uptime for the day, and nothing I could do from inside the box because there was no inside to get to.

Worth it. But this is the part of "simple restart" that the is mentioned in email.

Also a decent argument for the thing I keep saying: the box is disposable, the data is not.

Aber ich will nicht 15 Tage warten, ihr geht mir im #fediverse zu sehr ab.

In dieser Zeit alleine sein, ist nicht gut. Deswegen bin ich froh, wieder mit euch in Kontakt zu kommen (#notjustsad).

Ich hoffe, ich finde wieder die Leute, die ich verloren habe.

Schön, #wiederhier zu sein. Und danke an das Team von @moderation für die Aufnahme!

I guess they weren't aware that the person you block gets notified of the block?

It's funny because I have to send someone a message like that because the Morel Orels who wrote Snac don't believe in allowing you to block people, since muting them is much more polite and totally not sneaky at all. But everyone else pretty much can do a straight out Block.

Honestly I think you should be able to supply a helpful message explaining your Block, in whatever creative curse words people want to use.

ATENCIÓN ⚠️ Mis servicios web dejarán de estar disponibles pronto.

A partir del primero de diciembre de 2026 mis servicios web basados en software libre dejarán de funcionar. Los servicios que se verán afectados por esto son los siguientes:

• SearXNG (https://search.autumn64.xyz/)
• Redlib (https://redlib.autumn64.xyz/)
• Lingva (https://translate.autumn64.xyz/)

Después del 1ro de diciembre estos sitios serán dados de baja permanentemente y no se podrán utilizar más, ni prestarán servicio. Mi página web seguirá estando activa y no será dada de baja.

Esta es una decisión muy difícil para mí, pero algunas de las situaciones que me han llevado a tomarla son:

• La falta de apoyo por parte de la comunidad.
• Por el momento soy incapaz de sufragar el gasto de mantener un servidor o una VPS para estos servicios.
• Mis actividades profesionales me dejan muy poco tiempo libre, lo que me impide darle un mantenimiento adecuado a mis servicios.
• Hay cientos de instancias de los mismos servicios de personas que hacen un mucho mejor trabajo que yo y que pueden darle la dedicación que se merece.

Agradezco muchísimo todo el apoyo que he recibido por parte de ustedes en estos 2 años de trabajo y difusión. ¡Muchas gracias!

AI scrapers have been hammering fediverse servers for years with things getting especially intense lately. Fediverse developers have been slow to respond with solutions so desperate instance admins have been bolting on Anubis which is fragile and really hard to configure in a way that doesn’t break federation, mobile clients or web UI access. Anubis forces browsers to run some CPU-heavy javascript for a few seconds, increasing the cost to scrapers hopefully to the point where they go elsewhere instead.

PieFed now includes that functionality as a core feature, not a separate container, proxy or process that needs to be set up. Just set the ANOOBIS environment variable and you’re done. Yes, that spelling is intentional.

The amount of work a client needs to do can be tuned with the ANOOBIS_DIFFICULTY_DESKTOP and ANOOBIS_DIFFICULTY_MOBILE environment variables - the defaults are quite weak.

Early results are very promising and a 50% CPU and network reduction on the server is commonly seen. Clients that are not logged in will see a brief loading screen, once every 1000 days, before being taken to the post they were trying to view.

I’m sure this isn’t the end of this war but I’ve been enjoying a respite from it for the last week, long may it continue.

1/ This is the Substrate Strategy: months of work carried through X, Hugging Face, OSF, GitHub and YouTube as one pressure grammar across technology, science, governance, music, law and human systems. The work already inhabits the substrate. Now outside eyes can trace the lineage and compare that body with the reciprocal field X returned.

This is not an engagement campaign. It is a contrast test.

Wide screenshot of WizTree disk-usage software showing a folder named “Substrate Strategy.” The scan reports 8.1 GB, 2,922 items, 2,725 files, and 197 folders. The upper panel lists major folders and packages, including Primordial Code X-account distribution and lineage evidence, a Substrate Creator Distribution DPIO, Catastrophe pressure-form and audible-compiler materials, a 300-year pressure encounter, music and sonification projects, Vocal Core files, and source-bound evidence. The lower half is a dense multicolored treemap: large rectangles represent the biggest archives and evidence packets, while hundreds of smaller rectangles show nested descendants, audio, video, PDFs, images, and split archive parts. The image conveys the physical scale and cross-domain breadth of one preserved substrate containing technical systems, public artifacts, audible work, and evidence records.

I'm afraid it's a bit naive, as a description: replace the "Social Web" with the "Market" and you get something Adam Smith might have wrote to describe classical model of market economy:

The Market was designed like this because it prevents degradation. How? Because it has escape bridges built in. If one of the seller "goes bad", you can jump ship without loosing access to your favorite product. When the last monopolist went bad, there were no bridges, so we're all still stuck there. The Market can never go bad, because there will always be a new seller to escape to; a new better option

However the steam engine and the industrial revolution changed the dynamics, turning its simple model into a propaganda tool, instead of a valid economical one.

In the same way, your description might be useful as a marketing/propaganda tool (and indeed it's actively used by #BlueSky to pretend an decentralization it doesn't really provide), but not to describe or understand truly distributed social systems, such as #XMPP, the #Fediverse and (maybe) #Matrix.

Bluesky’s Attie is an AI tool built on AT Protocol that helps people create custom social feeds from public social data. Interesting idea, but it also raises real privacy questions: when AI analyzes your public posts, likes, and follows, it can infer a lot more about you than you may expect.

This is excellent

But:

Laws require enforcement

Or they are just feel-good declarations that rot the rule of law: a corpus of laws without bite means the law has no meaning. A dangerous precedent

So *how* do we fight AI. Especially on #socialMedia
