taquiones.net 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.
Does anyone still use #Snac software?
I just adjusted my relay instance which now also finally supports #GoToSocial! Of course, it also supports Pleroma, snac, Mastodon, littlefedi, starling and many other ones!
With relays, your own posted content gets distributed to all connected instances, as well you get the content all other instances. Currently, mostly tech related instances are connected, focusing on #Linux, #Proxmox, #BSD / #FreeBSD, #IPv6 and many other things!

There is a person I've been helping for a while who runs two instances, one #GoToSocial and one #snac.
Yesterday, they suffered severe file system corruption on their device, and I lent them a hand with the recovery. For GoToSocial, they restored the DB from the previous backup and got it running again. For snac, although a few files were lost, no action was necessary... it just started back up and did what it had to do, bringing the instance back to full operation.
This goes to show that when software is well-designed and intentionally kept simple, it's also easier to get back up and running when something goes wrong. In this case, snac's "files-only" approach demonstrated excellent resilience.
Thanks, @grunfink !

Somehow my main instance, which is a large Mastodon server operated by professionals, is significantly slower than my little single-user #snac instance running on the Raspi Zero in my shelf.
I may change it to return the correct code eventually, but I don't consider it a priority.
The author of a replied post is no longer added to the CC: line, as it does not have much sense.
Fixed mentions for users with hyphens in their identifiers.
Unlisted replies to unknown posts were being skipped from the timeline, so don't do that.
If an actor marked as broken gets a post boosted (proving that is [back] functioning), it's unmarked as such.
Don't try (and fail) to parse non-UTC dates in posts (I'll provide a real fix eventually).
Fixed a redirection loop in the /users alias.
Mastodon API: fixed a bug that made changing the sensitive content string impossible, avatars and headers can be deleted (contributed by bm90).
Updated Czech and Italian translations (contributed by pmjv and fidiben).

Thinking about a new domain+project...
Anyone have the TL;DR; on self hosted fediverse software?
Mastodon vs Snac vs Pleroma vs ?
I'm looking for something that is super low maintenance and lightweight / easy on resources but as full featured as practical within those constraints.
Something easy to tune re: post lengths and media types would be cool too. A "text first" platform is desired.
I've run Mastodon in the past and it's like fishing with nukes for this use case.
What's out there?

#lispyGopherClimate #emacs #FSF CONFIRMED @bandali (note the new fediversal #snac account) will join us on the show tomorrow!
Remember it is every Tuesday-night-in-the-Americas being 0UTC Wednesday, or 25 hours from this toot. (Every week since 2022.).
live - https://anonradio.net/
#RSS https://toobnix.org/feeds/videos.xml?accountId=580185 ( @screwtape_channel ). #peertube #lisp
Three hours to live #discussion with #FSF #gopher @bandali on #lispyGopherClimate !
0UTC Wednesday (Tuesday night in the Americas)
I am not accepting to treat bandali as a stallman effigy.
We *will* talk about human #emacs (anti #ai faction).
We are promoting awareness of bandali's new personal #snac #fedi instance (thanks @grunfink ), if you could follow / boost to that avail.
Bandali publishes these, amoung things:

@scips@mastodon.social nice! This isn't ready for release, yet, but you can surely try with #snac
It’s not Tuesday yet, but it will be soon.
And I want to thank @grunfink for creating and maintaining snac. Tomorrow I’ll talk about FediMeteo at DevConf, and it would never have come to be if it weren’t for snac and for the help the author gave me in fixing some things to optimize its use.
True Open Source, made with passion, by people who do things for the love of the things themselves.
Ok, I'm testing something cool.
A blend of #snac, #Mastodon, #honk, #GoToSocial...and more.
This is running on a Raspberry PI Zero W, powered by NetBSD. The same that is powering my own smart thermostat. And it's quick.
I'll use this account and try to "stress" it.
Own your data. Always own your data!
Added a new admirations entry point to the web UI, containing a timeline of liked, boosted and reacted posts. Please take note that, after installing the new version, it will start empty, and be filled with subsequent reactions (contributed by violette).
It's now possible to disable showing posts in a given set of languages.
Nested quoted posts are limited up to 3 levels.
New configuration knob: by setting keep_replies_posts to true in server.json, remote posts that a local user has replied to are retained in the public timeline, preventing them from being purged (contributed by hanchan).
New configuration knob: by setting keep_replied_me to true in server.json, remote replies to local posts are retained in the public timeline, preventing them from being purged (contributed by hanchan).
Ensure actors' public key PEM never includes anything after the end marker.
Fixed some memory leaks (contributed by inz).
Several additional keyId checks (many thanks to lainsoykaf for bringing this to my attention).
Fixed crash in the JSON parser (many thanks to nullenvk for bringing this to my attention).
Mastodon API: fixed lost custom emojis after edition (contributed by e0w0e).
Updated French, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Spanish translations (contributed by dragondaddy, daltux, zen).

Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from #MastoBlaster App for iPhone.
What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @grunfink@comam.es to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @stefano@bsd.cafe for testing with me :)
