I found this comment in activitypub.c while reading some of the snac2 source code :

/* unify the garbage fire that are the attachments */

Involuntary chortle activated. It is a good read so far.

#snac2

newbie question to #snac2 admins: how can I modify my favicon? I know that there's a definition on compile time, but it's the only way? cc: @grunfink

@nick #snac2 looks really cool. I wonder if it has sufficient #Mastodon api support for account migration. Also I think it would be even cooler if it was a CGI binary or an inetd activated service ^^

I sincerely love you weirdos. <3

Edit: added transparency to image. Scratch that, GtS seems to not like transparency in AVIF, so I restored the original and uploaded a black background variant as well

• take photos, put them into a directory,
• #entr detects a new directory and runs the script,
• it converts images + audio + speech bubble text into gif and mp4 file with imagemagick and #ffmpeg,
• then posts to #snac2... ;)

I find #snac2 better than gotosocial. I was able to have snac2 up and running faster than it took to even peruse the gotosocial docs.

Also, snac2 is in the Debian repositories so installing on Linux is as simple as one command.

number of files generated by snac is huge, but i don't care that much anymore.

$ du -hd0 /var/snac
133M	/var/snac
$ find /var/snac | wc -l
   35603

sometimes i use snac command line, but mostly snac web ui and nothing else.

someday maybe i'll try to build some minimalist #activitypub server, but looks like a lot of work :)

is it safe to backup #snac2 like this:

any plans to use sqlite or some other database?

also thank you for creating #snac2. i love it!

If I press: "open in Webbrowser" to see the conversation and not only the post, then it will go to some /ap/ endpoint that is 404.
I think that was not always the case, but maybe I misremember it.

I notice that the /people/ section of snac gives broken links to follower and followee profiles.

For instance entries for mastodon users are like this:

https://mastodon.social/ap/users/253190229248136435

Which appears to be an API endpoint rather than a web link. Links like this lead to a not found page.

You can now purchase #snac propaganda stickers and apparel to show your allegiance or to wage war with.
