bench.thebus.top 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.
Hello Fedi friends!
My child and I arrived in Italy yesterday to spend all of July at my parents' 🇮🇹
What's the first thing I did this morning? Following @milano to have weather forecasts here in my feed.
Special thanks to @stefano for creating this incredible project.
For those of you not familiar with #FediMeteo, it covers 2893 cities in 38 countries. All powered by a 4€/month VPS with #snac and #freeBSD:
Grazie Stefano! 🙏✨🏆
I have long planned to write a utility for synchronizing #Snac profiles with the #Nex blog, and I recently published its initial release:
https://codeberg.org/postscriptum/snac2nex
Additionally, I want to create a local copy of media data so that it can be accessed without going out into the HTTP space.
Added a server-wide Webmention hook; this way, if somebody out there (that supports Webmention) links to a user or post in this instance, a notification is sent (this is the complementary of what was implemented in version 2.76).
Fixed regression while sending email via pipe on OpenBSD.
Fixed Markdown parsing when the URL has parenthesis.
Always show the 'pending follow confirmations' section if there are any (even if the toggle is off).
If a metadata value is an account handler, it's also tried to be validated (rel="me" links).
Another search by URL tweak (this time for Pixelfed links).
Mastodon API: fixed a bug that made some boosts disappear after being shown in apps like Tusky, added followed hashtags maintenance, other minor changes.
Renamed command-line actions create_list
to list_create
and delete_list
to list_remove
.
The default favicon URL can be changed from the server configuration.
New command-line option export_posts
, to export all posts by a user in a JSON format compatible with the one generated by Mastodon.
The command-line options to send notes also allow an optional -r
argument, to set the URL of a Fediverse post this note is a reply to.
If you find #snac useful, please consider buying grunfink a coffee or contributing via LiberaPay.
I tried tuning various parameters but after some reading came to the conclusion that lots of small files with very little RAM is about the worst case scenario for XFS.
I don't know how many web sites out there implement Webmention (I guess very few), but given that it has been very simple to implement, here it is.
Long live the non-big-tech Internet.

server.json
named favicon_url
, that will allow to set the default favicon. For now, you can configure your HTTP frontend to serve $YOUR_HOST/favicon.ico to whatever icon you want.This isn't a question about blocking those specific hashtags or people - I know how to do that if I want. I'm trying to figure out how to drive snac so that I don't get unwanted toots thrust in my face that I didn't ask for. What am I missing?
If you're seeing this via a boost from my other account then please consider following the boosted account directly, as I won't be boosting its toots particularly often! ❤️

I'm not sure why, but it seems as if the GitHub Continuous Integration checks are just... hanging? They were queued for a really long time and I stopped looking and when I checked again it was like "running" or whatever for 9 hours, but clearly probably nothing is actually happening.
Builds locally OK!
It's been a couple of days since I submitted that PR, and my apologies for lagging upstream as well. My life has been kinda, off.
I'll probably get around to emailing the MacPorts' dev mailing list if it still seems to be stalled and no one else beats me to it. Presumably, eventually, it will get merged!
Thanks again to you and others (e.g. dandelions, postscriptum, piefed) for the continued improvements!
