For today's , I'd like to thank everyone who supports the Fediverse. So, that means *you*. Yes, you, the one reading this.
Thank you!

The Fediverse truly is for everyone: if you don't have the skills or means to set up your own instance, you can join one of the public instances that aligns with your aspirations. If you can and want to, you can create your own instance, and thanks to lightweight (and interoperable) software, you can do it with spare hardware or very affordable VPS.
So thank you to all of you, friends of the Fediverse!

    Groovy!

    I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.87 here:

    https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/30679

    It's churning through GitHub Continuous Integration checks (1 of 3 passed so far which is a good sign the other two will complete successfully).

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

    p.s. the other day I read your napcop proposal and I dig the acronym. ;)

      Só se seu servidor fizer alguma gambiarra o contorno de também enviar uma curtida junto com um . Mesmo assim, ficaria faltando signicado, o que é importante. Acho que /Pleroma faz isso apenas com o emoji 👍. Essa é mais uma função significativa que fica na fila de "não achamos necessário" do :mastodevil: há muitos anos.

      implementou o envio e a visualização de EmojiReact junto à publicação agora, mas já notificava faz tempo. Eu poderia jurar que fizesse pelo menos isso, mas também fiquei surpreso ao constatar que ainda faz é absolutamente nada.

        I may be snac-based for a little while as I sort that out

                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.

                  Everything seem to be working fine on this self hosted instance so far but missing these (probably deliberately):
                  • Cannot see number of followers/followed
                  • No global timeline
                  I am using a lightweight ActivityPub server written in C. It's really light and I am loving it so far. :)

                                          1) Entrare e capire le pagine

                                          Quando apri SNAC2 dal browser vedrai due “mondi”.

                                          Pagina pubblica

                                          È il profilo visibile a tutti.

                                          - chiunque può leggerla senza password

                                          Area privata, dopo il login

                                          È la tua “casa”.

                                          Suggerimento
                                          Se vuoi fare tutto con calma, usa sempre l’area privata.



                                          2) Scrivere un post

                                          Nell’area privata trovi il riquadro dove scrivere.

                                          Post normale

                                          1) scrivi il testo
                                          2) premi “Publish” o “Post”

                                          Gli a capo restano come li scrivi, quindi puoi andare a capo quando vuoi.

                                          Scegliere chi lo vede

                                          Di solito puoi scegliere tra
                                          - Pubblico, lo vedono tutti
                                          - Non in elenco, è pubblico ma non finisce in certe liste
                                          - Solo follower, lo vedono solo i tuoi follower
                                          - Messaggio diretto, lo vedono solo le persone indicate

                                          Se non sei sicuro, usa Pubblico.



                                          3) Rispondere e parlare in un thread

                                          Sotto un post trovi di solito il tasto “Reply”.
                                          - scrivi la risposta
                                          - invia

                                          Le conversazioni sono ordinate a “rami”, come un albero. È utile perché capisci subito chi risponde a chi.



                                          4) Like, boost e bookmark

                                          Like

                                          Serve per dire “mi piace”.

                                          Boost

                                          Serve per condividere il post con i tuoi follower.

                                          Bookmark

                                          Serve per salvare un post e ritrovarlo dopo.

                                          Suggerimento
                                          Bookmark è perfetto per “me lo leggo dopo”.



                                          5) Seguire persone

                                          Seguire qualcuno

                                          Se trovi un profilo interessante
                                          - premi “Follow”

                                          Da quel momento vedrai i suoi post nella tua area privata.

                                          Smettere di seguire

                                          - premi “Unfollow”



                                          6) Menzionare persone e usare hashtag

                                          Menzionare

                                          Se stai parlando di qualcosa che può dare fastidio a qualcuno, tipo spoiler o contenuti delicati, puoi aggiungere un avviso.
                                          - attiva “contenuto sensibile”
                                          - scrivi una breve descrizione, per esempio “spoiler” o “tema delicato”
                                          - poi pubblica



                                          8) Aggiungere un’immagine o un file

                                          Nel riquadro del post c’è un modo per aggiungere un allegato.
                                          - scegli l’immagine o il file
                                          - pubblica

                                          Suggerimento
                                          Se è un’immagine, aggiungi una breve descrizione quando possibile, aiuta l’accessibilità.



                                          9) Messaggi diretti

                                          I messaggi diretti sono come post privati.
                                          - scegli la modalità “Direct”
                                          - scrivi i destinatari o menzionali nel testo
                                          - invia

                                          Nota
                                          I messaggi diretti sono pensati per pochi destinatari, non per “chat di gruppo”.



                                          10) Notifiche

                                          Nell’area privata trovi una sezione notifiche, dove vedi
                                          - chi ti ha seguito
                                          - chi ha risposto
                                          - chi ha messo like
                                          - chi ha fatto boost dei tuoi post



                                          11) Piccoli trucchi che aiutano

                                          - Se un post non appare, ricarica la pagina
                                          - Se una conversazione è lunga, scorri e cerca le risposte annidate
                                          - Se vuoi scrivere più chiaro, usa frasi brevi e vai a capo
                                          - Se vuoi essere gentile con chi legge, usa l’avviso contenuto sensibile quando serve



                                          12) Problemi comuni

                                          Non riesco a entrare

                                          Contatta l’amministratore e chiedi un reset della password.

                                          Non vedo post nuovi

                                          Ricarica la pagina. Se succede spesso, può essere un momento di manutenzione.

                                          Non si caricano immagini

                                          Aspetta e riprova. Se continua, segnala all’amministratore.

                                                  • use timeline_simple_list to see all timeline messages, not only initial posts, and saturate show at max_timeline_entries to avoid silently skipping posts
                                                  • also show posts boosted by the actor, and user's posts with actor's likes and emojireacts, i.e., anything that user may have seen in private timeline or notifications

I've added a "More (x 10)" button to make searching faster, in case the actor's posts are too sparse.

                                                          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.

                                                              Two Fediverse clients I like are Elk and Phanpy, but both had the same issue: the inability to filter "replies" and "boosts" from the timeline. For me this is essential. I can't keep up with my timeline, and if I also see replies to posts unrelated to what I follow, it just becomes chaos. So I tried to implement these filters and opened a PR.

                                                              The Elk developers have already merged it into the main branch, so we should soon see the two hide options appear in Elk. Hopefully the same will happen in Phanpy as well, because this greatly improves the experience on two excellent Fediverse tools, which are also compatible with snac.

                                                                      The Fediverse is for everyone. The Fediverse belongs to everyone. We should not wait for someone else to do something. We can start ourselves.

                                                                      - Follow people who post content that interests you. You do not always have to agree. Constructive disagreement helps us grow.

                                                                      - Always remain respectful and civil. This is what can make the difference between the Fediverse and social platforms that profit from anger. Let us make it a place we want to go, not a place we feel forced to go just to prove someone wrong.

                                                                      - Make it a better place for yourself. Our timelines are exactly what we choose them to be. This takes a bit more effort, but the result will be far more satisfying.

                                                                      - Help administrators identify problems. Pointless criticism is useless. Doing your part, on the other hand, is priceless.

                                                                      - Boost what you believe is worth boosting. That is how things spread. If quote posts are available, explain why you shared something. You can also share content you disagree with, if you think it may be interesting for the people who follow you.

                                                                      - Do not approach people coming from other platforms with closure or arrogance. It takes time to understand and adapt. Acting like schoolteachers helps no one.

                                                                      - The Fediverse belongs to everyone, therefore it belongs to no one. If you run your own personal instance, that is your kingdom, but you could be defederated by everyone and end up alone. If that is your goal, fine. Otherwise, remember that federation is, at the same time, an honor, a responsibility, and a privilege.

                                                                      - Have fun. Grow. Live. The Fediverse is an extension of your life.

                                                                      If you have questions, ask. You will find many people who will be more than happy to answer.

                                                                      And to you, who are reading this, thank you for being here.

Why well I built snac from git but on FreeBSD 14.3. Took me longer than I'd like to admit to realise I needed to rebuild under FreeBSD 15.0.

For the BSD Cafe, I'm happy with the snac instance, and it's been online for a long time, but today I would still install Mastodon as the primary instance, and I'll explain why: moderation and user management.

                                                                                                  Moderation, on snac, is necessarily less comprehensive than on Mastodon, and consequently, it becomes much more difficult to handle issues with it. Reports as understood on Mastodon do not exist, and as a result, the outcome might be detrimental even to other instances.

                                                                                                  That being said, if you have a community with a small number of users (although the number of users is relatively important, given that the largest FediMeteo instance has over 1200 cities/users) but, especially, if they are trusted, you can go with snac. If you need a more complete solution, perhaps it may not be the best solution (yet). I tried Friendica and I like it, but not enough to have a clear opinion on how it performs with larger communities.

                                                                                                  Mastodon, once you understand how it works, is not complicated to maintain, but, like all stacks, it needs to be fully understood to avoid problems (e.g., cleanup, etc.).

                                                                                                            I have a reverse proxy, nginx for web, git and cgit in another, Syncthing, Radicale. So 5 jails in total. The questions I have are wouold you try run all of those on base OpenBSD or use vmm for each like I do with bastille ?

                                                                                                                                                  As 2024 comes to an end, it’s time to reflect on what we’ve built together during the first full year of life for BSD Cafe. Launched on 20 July 2023, this project has grown far beyond what I could have imagined. While I haven’t tracked full uptime data, I can confidently say that the downtime was less than 30 minutes overall - even though the main VM hosting our services moved multiple times (including a switch from a Proxmox hypervisor to bhyve on FreeBSD, for the sake of alignment with our mission). In a world filled with over-engineered HA systems, we’ve outperformed many “big-name” cloud providers. Not bad for a community project, right?

                                                                                                                                                  For me, this has been an incredible journey. The users here are not just participants - they’re collaborators, and their positivity has been inspiring. The content shared and created at BSD Cafe has been valuable not only to the BSD community but beyond. What truly sets BSD Cafe apart is the openness for dialogue and exchange. Whether it’s social media posts, Matrix discussions, repositories in our brew, or RSS feeds, people seem to genuinely appreciate what we create and the conversations we foster.

                                                                                                                                                  BSD Cafe is a journey - one that grows, evolves, and continues. Our goal isn’t endless growth (we’re a community, not a business) but rather to maintain a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone feels a sense of positivity and belonging. For me, opening any service with “bsd.cafe” in the domain brings joy and pride. That’s the spirit I’ve tried to convey, and I hope it resonates with all of you, whether you’re active BSD Cafe users or friends of the community.

                                                                                                                                                  Promoting self-hosting and has, as a side effect, inspired some users to “go solo” with their own setups. But even then, they remain part of BSD Cafe - in spirit, in purpose, and in connection.

                                                                                                                                                  Here’s a look at what we’ve achieved together this year:

Not so long ago the mutual acquaintances handshake icon would not be displayed in any browser even though I had the correct fonts installed. I even submitted a request to to be able to change the icon to something else if needed by OpenBSD users. But today after an update on the 7.8 snapshot I notice that they are displayed correctly now making it easier for me to see who is a mutual. Nice one OpenBSD ❤️ :runbsd: :openbsd:

                                                                                                                                                            Essa é uma funcionalidade que poderia ser até mais destacada, pois já tentei fazer o mesmo em outro servidor que também suporta Markdown (Akkoma/Mangane), sem sucesso.

                                                                                                                                                            SNAC é um servidor ActivityPub extremamente minimalista e, por isso, bem peculiar, porém apresenta algumas funções únicas, como essa. Ele não é ideal para quem quer utilizá-lo majoritariamente com aplicativos clientes feitos para a API , pois seu funcionamento é bem distinto daquele mais comum e não tem o compromisso de apresentar as mesmas soluções para as mesmas funcionalidades. Mesmo assim, há casos em que se adequa muito bem. Se não faz questão de ficar o tempo todo interagindo com a [Federação ActivityPub]() ou, por exemplo, se pretende criar um perfil para publicação automatizada por algum :shell: na máquina em que ele está rodando, isso fica muito fácil, pois já possui tudo que precisa no comando, além de ser pouco exigente em requisitos de memória e processamento. Pode ser compilado em praticamente qualquer plataforma POSIX e seus arquivos ficam numa árvore única de diretórios, tornando a transferência para outra máquina relativamente bem simples. Sua interface na Web é simples para quem utiliza e também para quem lê, ao sequer exigir a execução de JavaScript. Apenas HTML e CSS.

                                                                                                                                                            Como analista de tecnologia da informação, especulando sobre o ciclo de vida dos sistemas, considero provável que, por ter mínimas dependências, SNAC demore bem mais que outros servidores mais complexos para se inviabilizar ou precisar sofrer reescritas drásticas, desde que se forme uma comunidade maior que o mantenha ativo se porventura faltar seu criador.

                                                                                                                                                                        After receiving a follow confirmation, a bunch of posts from that account are requested and inserted into the timeline as context.

                                                                                                                                                                        Continuously failing instances are marked as broken after a given number of days (see snac(8) on how to tune this counter). Incoming activity from any of these instances resets the counter.

                                                                                                                                                                        Fixed a nasty bug that incorrectly deleted private local posts in certain cases.

                                                                                                                                                                        Scheduled posts can now be sent from the command line (see snac(1) for more information on how to do it).

                                                                                                                                                                        Docker: add timezone, new examples for building and complete Swarm mode stack with Traefik (contributed by daltux).
