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.
can anyone comment on how good, or not good, search (for posts) is between self-hosted fedi platform apps good for single-user servers, such as #Snac2, #Mitra, #GoToSocial, #Bonfire, etc?
I am looking for search which is actually usable by someone who wishes to find things and perhaps sort what's found, unlike that provided by e.g. Mastodon, Akkoma, etc.
The Linux mainline kernel itself contains AI code now. It's officially allowed as long as it's disclosed as such. Thus, you will have to avoid literally all servers running on Linux.
https://docs.kernel.org/process/coding-assistants.html
NetBSD has very strict rules regarding AI-generated code. But it doesn't rule AI-generated code out out of principle because it's AI-generated; it only wants to be safe that nothing that's actually GPL-licensed is slipped in. So, if you're an 100%, ultra-hardcode anti-AI extremist, avoid what few servers run on NetBSD.
https://www.netbsd.org/developers/commit-guidelines.html
OpenBSD contains AI-generated code, too. And it has no official stance regarding it. So servers running on OpenBSD are taboo, too.
https://www.osnews.com/story/144935/openbsd-and-slopcode-raindrop-to-a-torrent/
FreeBSD has no stance on AI whatsoever that I could find. However, apparently, the FreeBSD community loves to integrate Claude Code into their systems for automation purposes:

https://discoverbsd.com/p/8a7660c31b
But you'll also have to look at the userland, the Web server, the database driver etc.
MariaDB allows AI code. You can safely assume that all MySQL databases on Web servers out there are actually powered by MariaDB.
https://mariadb.org/governance/governance-ai-policy/
Oracle MySQL can integrate AI, so it's safe to assume it contains AI-generated code.
https://blogs.oracle.com/mysql/announcing-mysql-ai
PostgreSQL probably allows AI code, too. There are even tools for it.
https://github.com/timescale/pg-aiguide
SQLite is very popular amongst AI users while not having any rules on AI-generated code. Assume it to be tainted.
This leaves you with only one choice: Self-hosting a personal, single-user snac2 server because snac2 doesn't need any database whatsoever. In fact, snac2 is staunchly against AI. And it runs on NetBSD.
https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
But then there's the Web server. Apache may allow AI-generated code if it has been reviewed and made sure that it does not contain anything that's incompatible with the Apache-2.0 license.
https://www.apache.org/legal/generative-tooling.html
nginx welcomes AI and advertises itself as ready for AI, and it takes no anti-AI-code stance. It's most likely already tainted.
https://www.f5.com/de_de/products/nginx.
This basically leaves you with no Web server guaranteed to be 100% free from AI-generated code to run snac2 on. But that doesn't matter because it's impossible to build a Web server devoid of any AI code to install snac2 on.
By the way: Mastodon itself explicitly allows AI code if it's disclosed as such, and if its contributor understands it.
https://github.com/mastodon/.github/blob/main/AI_POLICY.md
In other words, next to all Mastodon servers are running

behold and compare the results!
Friendly periodic reminder that snac is a great, great piece of software.
I've upgraded #FediMeteo in minutes, recompiling snac *inside each jail*.
The Fediverse, as the Fediverse should be.
Although I am too unimportant to receive the infamous "notification of server process death". 😀
Root cause for why my #snac2 instance went nuts.
https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2/issues/645#issuecomment-22202230
At this point this new #Mastodon instance is up, running and working fine. I'll stay here.
I'll miss you https://weredreaming.com. I'll probably decommission the instance soon.
Part of the mystery of why my snac instance was hanging -- it only hung when I went into the admin portal. I deleted all the notification json files on the server and everything seems okay now. I'm still going to be using https://bunnymotorsports.com going forward though.
My name is HiMY (Pronounced Him-Me), from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
I have been following all things #LittleFedi ever since @stefano 's replies about it began appearing in #snac2 related conversations.
Found myself reflecting on the LittleOne Community and LittleFedi possibilities often when I've been going about my day, away from the computer.
I'm usually that person in the room who looks at things from a different point of view and asks that question which seems obvious in hindsight, yet difficult to spot before it being raised.
For the past month, I keep seeing possibilities here, and the only way to ask such questions about them, was to finally join and experience LittleFedi for myself, to test my assumptions instead of remaining an outside observer.
Away from the computer, you may find me making #Labyrinths in and around my hometown of Toronto.
I restored weredreaming.com from a backup a few days old, it worked for a bit and now snac is again chewing through CPU cycles.
The CPU was baked from the snac process running at max. I shutdown nginx so that no traffic was coming through and snac was still sitting there chewing through the CPU -- even after a reboot.
It's been more than six months here, maybe it's time for me to built and migrate again.
My #snac2 instance weredreaming.com has decided to chew through CPU cycles doing nothing that I can see in the logs. I starts up with nginx off and sits there at 100% CPU load. I'm debugging.

ft. big update - over 100 new achievements!
I haven't seen anywhere else in the Fediverse is that it notifies me when someone has blocked me.
#snac2 has it.
@grunfink I feel like this SNAAQ fact should be brought to your attention: https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:iskdt7ztxrpiliznjaaacs5i/post/3mu2peopjmk2t / @andreazanin.bsky.social
