anyone already tried #snac 2.84-dev? would love to hear some feedback about visibility scopes

Gosto demais de poder anexar imagem externa em publicações aqui, simplesmente incluindo-a no texto com a sintaxe Markdown ![descrição](URL), sem necessitar enviá-la e armazená-la no servidor do #Snac.

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 #Mastodon, 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 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.

Oh #OpenBSD just keeps on getting better. 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 #Snac 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 ❤️

I've just updated my #Snac instance to version 2.83 👍 🎉
You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
A simple, minimalistic and well documented #ActivityPub instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.

I've just published version 2.83 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

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).

Fixed timezone names (contributed by dharmik).

Documented the update command (contributed by xvello).

This is great. I guess I need a CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file myself for #snac. I'll probably just copy GotoSocial's one.

I've just published version 2.82 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

The language in which a post is written can now be set from the UI; you must configure the list of languages you usually post in in the User Settings.

Added support for bullet points in posts (lines starting with an asterisk or a hyphen, plus a space).

Added Dutch (nl_NL) translation (contributed by martijndeb).

Added Western Frisian (fy_NL) translation (contributed by martijndeb).

Mastodon API: Fixed repeated entries in timelines.

Added nodeinfo 2.1 support.

Fixed boosts from the command line not showing in the public timeline (contributed by xvello).

Updated several language files (contributed by zen and daltux).

Retrieving a post's replies is now possible via ActivityPub.

#snacAnnounces #FrugalFediverse

I have finally uploaded #snac 2.81 to it

Fantastic news!

Hi, Iwojima. I implemented the /api/v1/instance/peers Mastodon API endpoint in version 2.75. It returns the list of nodes a given #snac instance knows, unless the disable_inbox_collection knob is set to true (in this case, an empty array is returned).

Teste de listas com #Markdown no #Snac:

• teste 1
• mais um teste
• etc etc teste

Se funcionar, isso é graças a um aprimoramento feito hoje por @grunfink@comam.es

Wow. You're very kind, Stefano.

Working on free software is sometimes great because you find people that really care. Men and women that care for others, that weave social fabric, that altruistically share their time in benefits of others.

Stefano (like many others) gives his time as a gift for others to enjoy. He helped me make #snac what it is now.

If you had given up when my software was in its infancy, I would probably gave up and left it unfinished.

So, I dedicate my #ThankyouTuesday back to you, Stefano.

Thank you! All add it to #snac's README.

Hi. #snac only updates the count of a remote poll when a) the original instance notifies the voters (i.e. generates and posts an Update of the poll object), or b) when the end time expires, where snac queries the object back to get the final results.

Oh, no, it's just that this instance uses the strict #snac default configuration, so I really don't have an avatar, just the default. I look nothing like Susie, nor like a Grünfink.

Hi, @andy@snac.lostoutpost.uk . I think I haven't talked about Susie , #snac 's default icon, before.

When I started developing snac, I realized I needed a default icon to show for those accounts that lacked an avatar, similar to the outlined elephant Mastodon has. Given the minimalistic nature of the software, I thought that having a heavily-pixelated one, even 8-bit-like, was a perfect match.

So, I started designing one, inspired by singer/composer Siouxsie Sioux, whom I'm a big fan of. I've done some pixelart before, but was not totally satisfied, so I asked a friend with more artistic skills, who did some tweaks, and I was finally happy with it.

Also, it's said that all cool software must have some easter eggs; so, Susie looks somewhat different sometimes, and once a year, in a special day, she looks very different. Easter eggs are like jokes and if you explain them they lose their power, so I'm leaving it here.

I've just updated my #Snac instance to version 2.81 👍 🎉
