News from fediverse

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] snac is great, small, fs only, easy to build, easy to run, easy to backup and even runs without issues on slow hardware or even untypical hardware. I compiled it for RISC-V where it easily runs on my VisionFive board.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I've been tinkering with snac on a private instance, along with other ActivityPub servers like BookWyrm, and snac is much less of a production to set up.

I admit to being old school, but I'd expect the setup of a mail server to be harder than a Fedi service. When I first looked at the process to set up a Mastodon server, and I've been in IT a while and set up my share of services, my reaction was, "Are you sh***ing me?"

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I’m running it at snac.jamesoff.net because it looked interesting and I really like the file system-based implementation (reminds me of qmail). I use it from Mona on iOS (I contributed a few small changes to help that work) but currently I mostly use this main account.

It’s behind an nginx, like all my stuff. It’s managed with daemontools and in a jail :)

@[email protected] @[email protected] I'm using the web interface, Enafore and Tusky, depending on my workstation/task.
Spinning your own instance can be a nice experience and I'd normally encourage it but I don't want you to abandon the BSD Cafe 😉
Joking, of course. Running snac on the BSDs is a joy. And when the move (both in and out) will be implemented, I'm expecting many more users trying snac

I’m running snac for a week now, on FreeBSD via Caddy reverse proxy. Runs great. Some minor issues with compatibility with mastodon, my replies are not always seen as replies by people on mastodon. Most iOS mastodon apps have some issues, like random duplicate posts. Generally only minor things.
