Oh, no! Director David Lynch has died!
He is a major reason for my lifelong love of movies, after I saw Elephant Man as a kid. A decade later, while a film student, I hustled my way into a job as a PA on the New Orleans on-location set of Wild At Heart. There I had the dream job of fetching Mr. Lynch his fruit smoothies and driving Nick Cage from his hotel to the set. Watching Lynch work on set and direct his actors was a huge privilege. He was incredibly improvisational, sometimes shooting the scene multiple times, recruiting odd bystanders and inserting them into the set.
I only knew him for a minute, a long time ago, but I am really going to miss knowing David Lynch is in the world.

Goodbye Mr. #DavidLynch I'll see you in my dream

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.70 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Notifications are now shown in a more compact way (i.e. all reactions are shown just above your post, instead of repeating the post ad nauseam for every reaction).

New command-line option unmute to, well, no-longer-mute an actor.

The private timeline now includes an approximate mark between new posts and "already seen" ones.

Fixed a spurious 404 error in the instance root URL for some configurations.
