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.

made a notification filter for #snac2
now users can choose what to see, as seeing who blocked and unfollowed you can be annoying in many cases, and other fedi implementations don't even show that by default

Did you ever know that you can store 4 #snac2 releases in a 3.5 inches floppy disk?

That's pretty cool ...

Also amazing that this thing did not OOM-kill processes all over the place; even before I started compiling I did a pkgin upgrade on the poor box, which took .. a few hours. I'm all outta swap, real low on RAM, and yet it somehow got through this .. #NetBSD for the win, I guess.

Says top:

Memory: 56M Act, 27M Inact, 11M Wired, 15M Exec, 820K File, 2076K Free
Swap: 128M Total, 128M Used, 4K Free / Pools: 23M Used / Network: 23K In, 34K Out

But if I switch, I want to keep the cool address like @SOMEONE@uninformation.org and not change to something like @SOMEONE@nano.uninformation.org. Adventurous!

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.

Today is also Tuesday, a #ThankYouTuesday, 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

• FediFollows - @FediFollows@social.growyourown.services - that periodically spreads the word about cities, countries, and the enthusiasm around the project

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

Happy birthday, FediMeteo! 🎉

We are moving sunnywines to a new Account! Please follow @sunnywines for future communication.

This #Friendica server is beeing replaced by a more lightweight alternative - #snac2. So this account will be shut down in a few weeks time. We'd appreciate if everyone following us here would move to the new account linked above.

Thanks, this remider will be repeated once or twice before the server is finally shut down.

I am retiring my #Friendica server an am in the process of moving to a more lightweight alternative - #snac2. So this account will be shut down in a few weeks time. I'd appreciate if everyone following me would move to the new account linked above.

Thanks, this remider will be repeated once or twice until I shut down this server.

Think I'm about ready to setup #snac2 and migrate to a small personal instance. Right now I'm stuck trying to decide what subdomain would be most clever/funny to use along with my heavy.rocks domain. This is always the hardest part. I guess the straightforward answer is snac.heavy.rocks. But that doesn't feel fun enough.

I do struggle more and more with #friendica's ressource requirements on my small vserver, I thought to try something more lightweight for a change.

#snac2 it is - @andi is a my account on a temporary test server. Setup was quickly done using the #Debian trixie-backport package and I like what I see. Now for some testing - Feel free to interact if you're interested in snac. Account and Server will be deleted afterwards.

Well, yes! Thanks!

You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2

The Fediverse is much larger than a large Mastodon. Consider setting up your own small server, Snac is easy to install and enjoyable to use.
A simple, minimalistic and well documented #ActivityPub instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.
