OpenBSD wasn't able to run snac stable on this machine, it crashed after a few requests with "illegal instruction".

Open 19" 90's rack Case with a green motherboard in it and old grey ribbon cables connected to a dvd drive and a ssd. there are two addon cards in the pci slots and two slot 1 pentium ii cpus with fans installed. The 4:3 screen shows a fastfetch output giving stats of the machine , an htop screen with two cpu usage graphs and snac log

please boost ❤️

number of files generated by snac is huge, but i don't care that much anymore.

$ du -hd0 /var/snac
133M	/var/snac
$ find /var/snac | wc -l
   35603

sometimes i use snac command line, but mostly snac web ui and nothing else.

someday maybe i'll try to build some minimalist #activitypub server, but looks like a lot of work :)

i understand you need to generate a new keypair and then sign your new public key with old one and propagate to the network... how do you practically do that?

EDIT: Build 68 should also run on iOS 18.x but it currently crashes. I'll see if I can fix it.

After quite some time, I’m finally ready to share this.

MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.

It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.

What makes it different:
• snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"
• Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others
• EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)
• Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline
• Markdown posting for snac
• Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account
• Blocking and moderation tools
• Very small footprint, very low RAM usage

Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.

It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.

Important note:
MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.

The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.

Stay tuned.

• #Snac2 got a new update earlier today.
• I've made myself my first makeshift screen-printing table. 😁

@grunfink@comam.es, thanks again for snac ❤️

Which also explains the strange AP endpoints that don't help us seeing context.
It is explained in this part a bit down the website here:

Hi @grunfink@comam.es
Does #snac2 do these shenanigans?
https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/federation/http_signatures/

Edit: it seems it should work?

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.

So, I built a new instance and you can find me at @mookie@weredreaming.com.

That doesn't mean that https://lifeiswoohoo.net is going away, it's staying for a while -- but lifeiswoohoo.net will be the instance that goes away if I ever want to change domains.

We're Dreaming (https://weredreaming.com) is an attempt at having an instance with permanence. It is where I plan to write and post without having posts disappear when I move instances, because it's obvious I'll always want to be building and destroying instances.

I'm still figuring out what I'll be posting here and what I'll be posting at We're Dreaming. But the initial thought is that more personal posts will go on We're Dreaming along with my movie posts.

I have already followed those of you that I interact with on a regular basis, if you wouldn't mind following back that would be awesome.

I am keeping the We're Dreaming account as one where I approve followers.
