Wrote a few fuzzing harnesses during my latest vacation to squash some bugs in #snac, a super cool ActivityPub instance.
@grunfink was really nice and quick to fix these bugs; I will contribute more in the future!

Right now I'm hosting it on vercel, but in the future I'd like to move to https://openbsd.amsterdam . I also wanna move from https://c.im/ to my own instance running #snac

#snac2 #fediverse #frugalfediverse

Thanks to oxzi, matoken, Louis Merlin, dandelions, Bruno Cesar Rocha and any other contributors I may have missed as well!

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.91 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/31777

GitHub Continuous Integration checks are running, hopefully they will complete without issues?

Regardless, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it!

Fixed some local posts not being shown if the replied post is deleted.

Fixed web UI incorrect links to public posts for some configurations.

Fixed encoding bug in Mastodon-style share links.

Fixed an error that made imposible to leave empty the following hashtags or blocked hashtags from the web UI.

Include post attachments in the RSS feed entries.

Added some OpenBSD-specific documentation (contributed by oxzi).

Fixed some timezones (contributed by matoken).

Fixed some crashes (special thanks to Louis Merlin for helping me with this).

Updated Docker scripts to avoid generating a useless log file.

Fixed several memory leaks, key generation errors and HTML inconsistencies (contributed by dandelions).

@Paulatics I heard lots of stories about servers with bad moderators, both ones that ignore abuse complaints and ones where the mods were abusive, so I decided to run my own.

Had #snac (fediverse software) been around when I started, I’d already be on it - it’s super simple to set up. I’ll move to snac from Akkoma some time soon.

Not much going on over here, now that Pound and Snac have been tested for a bit and the configuration stabilized.

There is one remaining issue: Some remote instances keep submitting likes and such repeatedly and at various intervals (typically hours). As others using Snac are experiencing the same, at least I know it is not my platform.

Btw, the invitation still stands: If you want an account here, drop me a note and I'll see what I can do.

Ever have those moments where you feel as if the kids may be alright?

@grunfink@comam.es continues to deliver!

#snac

First I thought it was some rejection of my instance since I changed server, but since I've noticed it happens even with instances I hadn't seen before.

I have set up #snac on another host and I am quite liking it.

I am hoping I can find a reasonable way to plumb certain RSS feeds through to some
accounts without resorting to writing yet another RSS feed parser myself

"If you want to be in the Fediverse without relying on big intances, or if you just want to own your #data & #identity on the network, running your own instance is the way to go.
That is where Mastodon alternatives such as GoToSocial & #snac comes in.
snac (Social Networks Are Crap) is a minimalistic, lightweight #ActivityPub instance…perfect for single user instances or small communities, and it's so light that even a #RaspberryPi can handle it without breaking a sweat."

Given #snac's low bar requirements, I think any modern web browser is fine. I use Firefox, but totally agree on the heavy side (I have an unresolved love+hate relation with Firefox). I don't recommend any Chrome-based solution, because Google (though snac works great there).

I wish a small web browser (even a text-mode one!) with support for summary / details existed. In fact, if I ever develop another web app (a case that is probably not going to happen), I would not rely on this functionality.

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.
