#Snac updated to latest 2.95

Thanks as always Mr. @grunfink

#ThisIsTheWay

Update: All the FediMeteo instances have been upgraded to snac 2.95

#FediMeteo #FediMeteoUpdates #snac #snac2

#Mastodon is the powerful war rig in the #Fediverse army against the axis of biased social networks; #snac is the little buffon back there in the rearguard, playing their old-fashioned lute and making silly jokes.

#CrazyFediverseAnalogies

Hmm, annoying, I got logged out from #snac on my mobile, and now it won't let me log back in :( Just hangs there forever, or just prints 'gmc' and nothing else...

Mastodon is great. But littleFedi, snac, GoToSocial, Mitra, Akkoma, etc. - they all share a mission: make sure people will be able to self host their instances without investing a huge sum.

I've just published version 2.95 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. This is an important release, as it fixes an issue that can lead to denial of service attacks, so please update as soon as possible. It also includes the following changes:

Fixed a bug in the notification page that made snac hang forever while trying to read abnormally big files.

Improved support for text-only web browsers: it's now possible to configure a set of web browser user-agent strings that will receive simpler HTML in the private timeline web UI. Basically, it consists in avoiding details / summary HTML tags as much as possible.

Added some fixes to media proxy code.

Fixed EmojiReact code to allow any emoticon defined in emojis.json, not only those with colon-wrapped identifiers.

Fixed a bug in notification filtering (paging was sometimes incorrect).

Added a notification filter for Webmentions.

Mastodon API: Don't return reactions count as string (contributed by mkljczk), implemented GET /v1/media (contributed by clairemont).

Fixed bug in documentation examples (contributed by Sprite_tm).

Updated Ukrainian and Russian translations (contributed by wincentbalin and koru).

Hi everyone. Yesterday, many #snac instances had a failure in the notifications area: accessing it was impossible. I have not much information about what the problem is, but it seems it's related to a specially crafted post that makes snac hang. If this is happening to you, and you have access to snac's disk storage, you can delete manually the files inside the notify directory of your user (they are a bunch of .json files).

Whenever I finally understand what is making snac fail, I'll publish a version that mitigates this.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Snac is a lightweight Fediverse-compatible social network server which is entirely human-written, and doesn't require a database. You can find out more at:

🏡 https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2

You can follow Snac's lead developer at:

It can be installed via @yunohost (at https://apps.yunohost.org/app/snac) or manually using the installation instructions (at https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2/src/branch/master/README.md).

Sometimes people like to say that the 'likes' in the FEDIVERSE don't mean anything. Maybe to some.

If you have a snac follower, and they like your posts, take a moment to appreciate them.

The update of the #FreeBSD port of #snac to 2.95 has been merged! And it's even been merged into the current quarterly branch. I guess that's because of the patched DOS vulnerability.

Can people "post" stuff to a person's INBOX if
they don't have any relationship? (in ActivityPub)

That might explain why I have a single instance snac
server, and still get basically spam posts.

I know I get something similar to that when there is
like a secondary relationship thru someone i am following.
But these things I see seemingly have no connecting relationships.

I like Mastodon, I really do. But it has so, so many dependencies, and updating it on illumos or OpenBSD is getting really difficult, release after release.

Some dependencies are primarily distributed as binaries, or only build on Linux and macOS. It's not Mastodon's fault, but it depends on them.

That’s why, in my opinion, solutions like snac, GoToSocial, or littleFedi have a reason to exist: all of this is much, much easier...

If someone I follow "likes" content, is that enough to
bring it into my timeline?

(content that seemingly should not show up on my
page.)

@grunfink

Is it possible to have my snac instance use TOR to federate *and* to have it available over clearweb at the same time?

Would this mean that my instance pulls data from other instances using TOR, but other instances would only use the clearweb to pull data from me, so they could be blocked at the national level?

#snac #snac2

Yes! 🤣

I've just published version 2.96 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Accounts can be marked as cool; anytime a cool account posts something, a notification will be sent.

Fixed an issue in Direct Messages sent from the people page; these posts didn't explicitly mention the recipient, and that confused some implementations.

Fixed crash when sending an empty EmojiReact.

HTTP requests can now be forced to use IPv6 by setting the force_ipv6_requests configuration directive to true in server.json.

Fixed a socket buffering issue under OpenIndiana (contributed by aleteoryx).

Mastodon API: Added missing requested_by field in the relationships entrypoint (contributed by Uilebheist), implemented the followers entrypoint (contributed by Uilebheist), use Mastodon's RFC3339 format for markers (contributed by nowster), fixed posts with muted words not being filtered out, fixed editing of media alt texts.

Tweaked HTML to avoid elinks complaining about a missing '#top' fragment.

Fixed a bug that made deleting the notification email address impossible.

RSS timelines are now cached because fuckers hammer for them continuously (probably AI crap bots).

Added information to README.md on how to build and install on Illumos / OpenIndiana Hipster 2026.04 (contributed by aleteoryx).

Updated Russian, Brazilian Portuguese and Czech translations (contributed by koru, daltux, pmjv).
