chven.us 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.
Não entendi qual seria o dano de manter a disponibilidade do conteúdo por esse protocolo, ainda que não funcione exatamente como tenha imaginado antes.
É realmente necessário ter ampla audiência para mantê-lo ligado? RSS tem público suficiente para justificar isso? Nessa lógica, não teria certeza nem se o esforço de manter conteúdo na Web aberta seria suficiente, atualmente. A busca pela máxima audiência acaba aumentando o potencial de nos rendermos à #BigTech.
A concentração no servidor mastodon.social também é, infelizmente, uma maneira não saudável de reforçar seu domínio da Federação em torno do ActivityPub, gerando uma "instância" grande demais para ser eventualmente desfederada, bem como de seu software específico perante o protocolo. Sugerimos que migrem para algum servidor entre tantos geridos por pessoas brasileiras. Sintam-se convidades para #Ayom, tanto para microblogue Mastodon quanto para o Lemmy.
Enfim, se a decisão de retirar o blogue for definitiva, lamentamos desde já que não teremos mais uma fonte direta de excelente conteúdo em meio às demais atividades que acompanhamos por aqui.

It includes integrated Let's Encrypt certificate issuance, static file caching via the Souin plugin, HTTP security headers, and more. This is the setup I'm using for my own instance.
It's available for anyone to study, use, or adapt. While it's being reviewed for the main snac2 project, you can find all the files on a branch in my repository.
Feast yourself on these fantastic features
Also thanks to: martijndeb, xvello, zen, daltux and anyone else I may have missed!
I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.82 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/29259
The GitHub Continuous Integration checks are still running.
Assuming they complete OK, it's still up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

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.
If you find #snac useful, please consider buying grunfink a coffee or contributing via LiberaPay.
/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).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.
Fortunately, @voron 's site on snac themes still has this screenshot, which I'm happy to share.
This response from the author of snac motivated me to continue, study, and appreciate this fantastic software for the Fediverse.
Snac is an example of true internet democracy: it runs everywhere and allows anyone to have their own autonomous, personal space in the Fediverse.
"Don't despair or quit", says an author who cares. And the Fediverse cares about them.
For today's #ThankYouTuesday, I want to thank grunfink - @grunfink - for the excellent work they do, quietly and with passion. I suggest that if you think snac is a good idea and you have the means, you offer them at least a coffee.
Update
of the poll object), or b) when the end time expires, where snac queries the object back to get the final results.http://gyptazy.com/fedi/gyptazy/

My friends, I'm so excited and happy to introduce a new project: the illumos Cafe!
The positive and constructive spirit of the BSD Cafe, created and maintained by all the friends who participated from day one in building a strong and friendly community, deserves to spread to other operating systems. Because there are other OSes that deserve attention, certainly more than they're getting right now.
Operating systems based on illumos (like SmartOS, OmniOS, Tribblix, OpenIndiana, etc.) are mature, stable, secure, and perfectly usable for a wide range of tasks. ZFS is native, zones are an excellent method for containerization, and bhyve and kvm coexist beautifully - and so much more, too much to list in a single post.
So from today, the illumos Cafe will stand alongside the BSD Cafe in creating a positive, respectful, and growth-oriented (but also relaxing!) environment, starting right here in the Fediverse with a Mastodon instance and a snac one.
I've written an introductory article about the project, including some technical details. I invite everyone interested to read it: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe/
Choose your table, take a seat and enjoy your time at the illumos Cafe!

Testo neste momento o Tokodon, cliente para API #Mastodon que também está disponível para #GNU. Aqui, no caso, é a versão da tornozeleira eletrônica de bolso #Android, aplicativo instalado do repositório do KDE para o F-Droid
Visualmente, é muito bem acabado. Porém, pelo menos no perfil do #Snac, não vejo um menu de emojis personalizados para inserir aqui, ao contrário do #Fedilab. Sinto ainda algum bug neste campo de edição. A seguir, devo testar com perfil do Mastodon.
🌐 Uso bastante a página da Web do próprio #SNAC, que não depende de JavaScript e ainda, obviamente, suporta todas as peculiaridades desse sistema. Uma delas é o agendamento, como desta publicação, que deixei para o primeiro minuto da terça-feira. Isso é novidade este ano, pois instalei o servidor em janeiro.
Também uso bastante o próprio #Mastodon. Às vezes, #Phanpy (outra novidade).
📵 Na tornozeleira eletrônica de bolso , uso, majoritariamente, #Fedilab. É o único que encontro até o momento que suporta razoavelmente quase todas as funcionalidades que desejo de um cliente federativo desse tipo, sobretudo para quem tem vários perfis, em sistemas diversos. Ao contrário de outros, jamais perdeu o que estava redigindo antes de ser publicado.
No ambiente de área de trabalho, tenho usado também 📯 #Tuba, para o qual até contribuí com tradução e que teve uma versão muito primorosa recentemente lançada!
💡 Algo que, para mim, faz falta em todos eles é poder ter como mesclar as linhas do tempo de todos os perfis. Fedilab é o que mais se aproxima disso, facilitando pelo menos que escolha com qual perfil quer interagir com determinada publicação.

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.
Aliás, a imagem gerada fica no servidor por quanto tempo?
I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.81 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/29032
GitHub Actions' Continuous Integration checks has passed OK, which hopefully is a good sign?
It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.
(As a total aside, given the comam.es .es TLD; I'm guessin you're in Spain? I have tentative plans to attend the MIRA Festival [mostly to see Amnesia Scanner] in November. Albeit, that's in Barcelona and I vaguely understand there are linguistic, cultural and socio-political differences? I've never visited before; but thought I would mention it as a possibility to meet up AFK maybe!)
