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.

    I've just updated my instance to stable version 2.95 πŸ‘ πŸŽ‰
    You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
    A simple, minimalistic and well documented instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.
    Loads of bug fixes and stuff I don’t understand, but which are surely important and useful.
    Huge thanks to @grunfink@comam.es and all contributers!! πŸŽ‰

      I like using snac and interacting more with the fediverse, but sometimes I think life was just simpler when I posted quotes about minimalism and stoicism to my microblog that probably had 0 viewers.

        That is just what I thought about an hour ago when I logged into my test account.

        I do host my own single user server and want to keep it that way. I do have more than one account, but since I am by myself - my local timeline is useless. If I only could have geographically close messages in there!

        This feature belongs into and not in one implementation of it!

        Also pinging @grunfink@comam.es - maybe you're insterested

          The update of the port of to 2.95 has been merged! And it's even been merged into the current quarterly branch. I guess that's because of the patched DOS vulnerability.

          Screenshot of the snac entry on the FreeBSD website, showing it is at verson 2.95.

              Sometimes people like to say that the 'likes' in the FEDIVERSE don't mean anything. Maybe to some.

              If you have a snac follower, and they like your posts, take a moment to appreciate them.

                it could be possible to hack to run on a machine
                Sadly, no. I wish it was possible, but as far as I know, due to a technical decision I took in the design (using hard links for many things), snac does not work under 9front.

                  Because it's technically impossible to set up a Fediverse server with absolutely no AI code underneath whatsoever
                  Well, that's not totally exact. I'm the main developer of the ActivityPub server (and web client) and I'm actively against any AI or LLM. This is a line in the CONTRIBUTING.md file:
                  PRs, diff patches and bug reports must not incorporate any material generated by or with the assistance of any so-called "generative AI" tool or LLM.
                  I've never used a so-called AI in my life and will never do.

                  If I recall correctly, the Gotosocial Fediverse software also have a very clear position in this topic (i.e. no AI).

                  You're very right in the OS positions regarding LLMs, sadly. The nearest to what I approve is NetBSD, but it's not totally clean.

                      Friendly periodic reminder that snac is a great, great piece of software.

                      I've upgraded in minutes, recompiling snac *inside each jail*.

                        I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.78 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

                        Hashtag following also allow URLs to RSS feeds of ActivityPub objects (like e.g. https://mastodon.social/tags/ThankYouTuesday).

                        Users can now configure a webhook to receive an HTTP POST for every notification. This can be useful for implementing bots that react to activities, like autorepliers, chatbots or interactive textual games (see snac(1) for more information).

                        The number of pending follow confirmations is shown next to the "people" link.

                        Faster performance metrics (contributed by dandelions).

                        Improved lowercasing in hashtags (contributed by postscriptum).

                        A search-by-url tweak for implementations that return 200 for invalid webfinger queries (e.g. piefed).

                        Mastodon API: added follow confirmation endpoints, fixed collisions in attachment file names.

                        Fixed potential crashes in attachment uploads.

                          Notifications are now shown in a more compact way (i.e. all reactions are shown just above your post, instead of repeating the post ad nauseam for every reaction).

                          New command-line option unmute to, well, no-longer-mute an actor.

                          The private timeline now includes an approximate mark between new posts and "already seen" ones.

                          Fixed a spurious 404 error in the instance root URL for some configurations.
