jrollans.com 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.
Hallo ich bin gnu0os0ta 🐧,
ich mag Systeme, die erklären, was sie tun und Menschen, die Nachfragen.
Running Mastodon on FreeBSD? Stop using wrapper scripts that break service status.
I've refactored the init scripts for Sidekiq, Puma, and Streaming to be fully production-grade:
- Clean privilege dropping (no su wrappers)
- Native signal handling for log rotation
- Correct PID tracking & status reporting.
I published the scripts and the reasoning behind them in my Codeberg gists:
https://codeberg.org/Larvitz/gists/src/branch/main/2026/20250115-FreeBSD_Mastodon_rc.d.md
I use those to run a Mastodon instance and they're working great so far!

The EU, as well as every country in the world, should be taking seriously the importance of sovereign systems for communicating and disseminating information.
The ActivityPub protocol is proven and makes many platforms compatible and accessible to each other, allowing for effective information sharing and communication.
The only reason many people do not leave X is that many important services and public figures remain on that platform. Therefore, if countries truly care about digital sovereignty and resilience, they should adopt and promote the use of open source platforms and networks based on the ActivityPub protocol, whether it is Mastodon, Pleroma, Vebinet, or another platform.
