😌 Aleluia! Depois de horas e mais horas — será que alguém notou que isto estava fora do ar? — parece que enfim consegui configurar o para usar GO SSL, da 🇳🇴 Noruega, no lugar de 🇺🇲 Let's Encrypt para emissão e (espero que também) renovação de certificados para . 🔒️

:debian: Entre mais notícias, também foi atualizado para versão 2.74 o servidor pelo pacote snac2 do repositório bookworm-backports.

              Pero es que es verdad!. andará muy lindo desde tal o cual aplicación en Android o iOS .. pero en cuanto abrís un perfil en el navegador del móvil: se arrastra!.

              Es increíble la cantidad de porquería que tiene que cargar el navegador para poder acceder al contenido en ActivityPub mientras que logra lo mismo con un uso mínimo de recursos! Sin cookies, sin JavaScript, sin estupideces .. solo una implementación sensata y buen código!

                  Oh. Thanks for elaborating on this, I had no idea. I seem to recall having used hard links on an sshfs, but my memory is faulty and maybe I'm mistaken.

                  So, please everyone, don't use on an sshfs mount.

                                                  Hi, author here. The server only exits cleanly (i.e. showing the "httpd stop..." log message) if it receives a TERM or INT signal. Do you have something like a monitoring program that may be interrupting it on some condition, like using more memory that expected or something like that?

                                                  You can also increase the logging level to 2, it may tell something more.

                                                                      Fixed bug in bookmark CSV import.

                                                                          While testing tonight, I figured it out. Even though the bug is fixed, it looks like it might not be. Mastodon caches accounts and for some reason doesn't pick up the alias.

                                                                          I did an update of the profile of the receiving account that caused it to update the profile on the Mastodon instance. That fixed it, the migration worked.

Server software has gotten so incredibly bloated these days needing ridiculous amounts of resources, snac uses practically no resources and its development has been wonderful to watch take shape.

                                                                                                Support for custom Emojis has been added; they are no longer hardcoded, but read from the emojis.json file at the server base directory. Also, they are no longer limited to string substitutions, but images as external URLs are also supported (see snac(8) for more information).

                                                                                                Fixed a bug that caused some notifications to be lost when coming from a user in the same instance.

                                                                                                Added an additional check for blocked instances (sometimes, posts from blocked sites that were ancestors of legit posts were 'leaking' into the timeline).

                                                                                                On OpenBSD, if the disable_email_notifications server flag is set to true, unveil() is not called for the execution of the /usr/sbin/sendmail binary and pledge() doesn't set the exec promise.

                                                                                                https://comam.es/what-is-snac
