      A wall with the painted text "CLIQUE - ULTRAS" in bold blue lettering is displayed above three garage doors, two of which are brown and one is unmarked. The background features trees and residential buildings.

              I’m trying some apps. Ice Cubes is nice, but doesn’t work with and it’s open source, which is a great plus

              Tusker is nice and works perfectly with snac, but doesn’t allow to quote post (which is ok, for snac, a bit less for Mastodn)

              Toot! Is nice and funny. Worth investigating more.

Aliás, como, ainda bem, não temos inserções artificiais na nossa linha literalmente temporal, essa ação :boost: é interessante justamente para vermos publicações que nossos contatos acham relevantes, tanto oriundas de quem não seguimos quanto de momentos em que não estávamos prestando atenção. Manda brasa aí! :activitypub: :drakeYes:

                    :snac: Isso, a propósito, me fez lembrar que o possui uma funcionalidade peculiar que não tenho certeza se há em outros: é possível "Bloquear anúncios (impulsionamentos) deste perfil". Ainda não usei isto, mas será a solução justamente caso não queira mais ver apenas os "bustes" de alguém.

                        Exactly one year ago, on 30th December 2024, I laid the foundation of FediMeteo.

                        I took a VM, installed FreeBSD, and set up the first jail to support Italy. The goal was to create a tool for my own use, support a few countries, and announce it.

                        Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm was incredible. That pushed me to keep going, support more countries and cities, and turn it into what it is today.

                        FediMeteo now supports 38 countries and 2,937 cities, with more than 7,700 followers in the Fediverse alone, not counting the many people who follow via RSS feeds or visit the web pages.

                        If you are curious to read the story and some technical details, you can find it here:
                        https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/

                        Today is also Tuesday, a , so I want to say thanks to:

                        • OpenMeteo - @openmeteo@fosstodon.org - for providing accurate, high quality data, without which FediMeteo would be far less useful
                        • @grunfink@comam.es - creator of snac, who made all of this possible using very few resources, on a 4 euro per month VM
                        • FreeBSD, which thanks to the efficiency of the OS and its jail implementation made it possible to run this service in a stable and efficient way with minimal effort
                        All of you, who suggested, encouraged, corrected, and celebrated this project

                        And forward toward supporting more countries and other interesting features already in the works.

                        Happy birthday, FediMeteo! 🎉

                          Fiz experiências com o que chamei de "Podtest" em , , e , com os seguintes resultados:

                          • Feed gerado pelo :snac: @podtest@snac.daltux.net é apenas texto.
                          • Feed do :mastodon: @podtest@organica.social entrega o áudio, que :vlc: e :antennapod: conseguem tocar, mas, aparentemente, o formato ainda não é totalmente conforme: :podcastIndex: Podcast Index sequer reconhece o conteúdo.
                          • Podcast Feed do canal :peertube: @podtest@fediverse.tv é devidamente reconhecido em todos os testes. Inclusive, perfeitamente incluído no Podcast Index. O problema é que, embora o episódio tenha sido criado com base no envio de um arquivo áudio (Ogg/Opus), o PeerTube fez, obrigatoriamente, sua conversão para vídeo. Torna-se videocast, então. É possível usá-lo assim mesmo, porém não fica exatamente como alguém esperaria um podcast de áudio.
                          • Feed da comunidade :lemmy: @podtest@forum.ayom.media é reconhecido por agregadores. O grande porém é que o Lemmy não permite envio de arquivo de áudio, apenas imagem. Fiz o teste simplesmente inserindo a URL do áudio que eu já tinha enviado para outro servidor, com o discurso completo da Promulgação da Constituição por Ulysses Guimarães. Funcionou assim, mas fica inviável.
                          Conclusão: todos podem ser bastante úteis caso a ideia seja acompanhar pelo :activitypub:, que é como foram projetados. Entretanto, para consumo em formato :feed: esperado por agregadores de propriamente ditos, nenhum deles atende plenamente aos requisitos, pelo menos neste momento. Em uma análise superficial do comportamento dos sistemas, não parece algo tão complicado de ser adaptado para isso acontecer, contudo seria necessário levantar a demanda juntamente aos respectivos projetos ou propor a solução já com a oferta do código-fonte necessário.

                          De imediato, ainda pode ser menos frustrante hospedar podcast em um sistema já preparado para isso, como 🐳 Funkwhale ou CastoPod. :agplv3:

                                      Added a new set of per-user muted words; if a post contains any of them, it's hidden behind a dropdown (contributed by byte).

                                      If an account has a metadata named pronouns, it's shown by the name (contributed by violette).

                                      Mastodon API: children of a post are returned recursively, not just the first level (contributed by violette).

                                      Implemented optional metadata stripping for images and videos using external tools (contributed by Stefano Marinelli).

                                                      Hi, everyone. I've just published version 2.87 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It only includes a single change, to avoid using EmojiReacts to harass users:

                                                      Hide EmojiReacts from muted actors and blocked instances.

                                                      Sorry for the inconvenience. Bad people creativity always gets me off-guard. Upgrade your snac to this version ASAP, or revert to 2.85.

                                                      There will be another release pretty soon with a better solution to delete offending EmojiReacts.

                                                              I've submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.86 here:

                                                              Currently one of three Continuous Integration checks passed (which is a good sign the other two will probably pass soon too).

                                                              It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

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.
