The Linux mainline kernel itself contains AI code now. It's officially allowed as long as it's disclosed as such. Thus, you will have to avoid literally all servers running on Linux.

https://docs.kernel.org/process/coding-assistants.html

https://www.neowin.net/news/linus-torvalds-declares-massive-ai-fueled-code-surges-as-the-new-normal-for-linux/

NetBSD has very strict rules regarding AI-generated code. But it doesn't rule AI-generated code out out of principle because it's AI-generated; it only wants to be safe that nothing that's actually GPL-licensed is slipped in. So, if you're an 100%, ultra-hardcode anti-AI extremist, avoid what few servers run on NetBSD.

https://www.netbsd.org/developers/commit-guidelines.html

OpenBSD contains AI-generated code, too. And it has no official stance regarding it. So servers running on OpenBSD are taboo, too.

https://www.osnews.com/story/144935/openbsd-and-slopcode-raindrop-to-a-torrent/

FreeBSD has no stance on AI whatsoever that I could find. However, apparently, the FreeBSD community loves to integrate Claude Code into their systems for automation purposes:

https://aumont.fr/posts/claude-code-freebsd/

https://discoverbsd.com/p/8a7660c31b

But you'll also have to look at the userland, the Web server, the database driver etc.

MariaDB allows AI code. You can safely assume that all MySQL databases on Web servers out there are actually powered by MariaDB.

https://mariadb.org/governance/governance-ai-policy/

Oracle MySQL can integrate AI, so it's safe to assume it contains AI-generated code.

https://blogs.oracle.com/mysql/announcing-mysql-ai

PostgreSQL probably allows AI code, too. There are even tools for it.

https://github.com/timescale/pg-aiguide

SQLite is very popular amongst AI users while not having any rules on AI-generated code. Assume it to be tainted.

This leaves you with only one choice: Self-hosting a personal, single-user snac2 server because snac2 doesn't need any database whatsoever. In fact, snac2 is staunchly against AI. And it runs on NetBSD.

https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2

But then there's the Web server. Apache may allow AI-generated code if it has been reviewed and made sure that it does not contain anything that's incompatible with the Apache-2.0 license.

https://www.apache.org/legal/generative-tooling.html

nginx welcomes AI and advertises itself as ready for AI, and it takes no anti-AI-code stance. It's most likely already tainted.

https://www.f5.com/de_de/products/nginx.

This basically leaves you with no Web server guaranteed to be 100% free from AI-generated code to run snac2 on. But that doesn't matter because it's impossible to build a Web server devoid of any AI code to install snac2 on.

By the way: Mastodon itself explicitly allows AI code if it's disclosed as such, and if its contributor understands it.

https://github.com/mastodon/.github/blob/main/AI_POLICY.md

In other words, next to all Mastodon servers are running

• AI-generated Mastodon code
• on an AI-generated Web server
• with an AI-generated database driver
• on an AI-generated operating system kernel

just append the url with ?terse=true

behold and compare the results!

Friendly periodic reminder that snac is a great, great piece of software.

I've upgraded #FediMeteo in minutes, recompiling snac *inside each jail*.

The Fediverse, as the Fediverse should be.

https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2

#snac #snac2 #Fediverse #OwnYourData

The CPU was baked from the snac process running at max. I shutdown nginx so that no traffic was coming through and snac was still sitting there chewing through the CPU -- even after a reboot.

It's been more than six months here, maybe it's time for me to built and migrate again.

@grunfink I feel like this SNAAQ fact should be brought to your attention: https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:iskdt7ztxrpiliznjaaacs5i/post/3mu2peopjmk2t / @andreazanin.bsky.social

No enclosed threaded conversations. Very limited HTML rendering. No formatting the text of your own messages. No emoji reactions. No images embedded in messages. No more than four images dangling below a message as file attachments.

If anything, someone who is not a Mastodon dev and not even daily-driving Mastodon should soft-fork Mastodon's Web UI and modify it so that it can adjust to the backend and offer all the features of the backend.

If you use it with snac2, you have the full set of snac2's features available.

If you use it with Akkoma, you have the full set of Akkoma's features available.

If you somehow manage to use it with Friendica, you have the full set of Friendica's features available.

Maybe there could be some options in the configuration that can (but don't by default) limit certain features to Mastodon's standard for those who really need the Mastodon UX with a non-Mastodon backend.

There is a person I've been helping for a while who runs two instances, one #GoToSocial and one #snac.

Yesterday, they suffered severe file system corruption on their device, and I lent them a hand with the recovery. For GoToSocial, they restored the DB from the previous backup and got it running again. For snac, although a few files were lost, no action was necessary... it just started back up and did what it had to do, bringing the instance back to full operation.

This goes to show that when software is well-designed and intentionally kept simple, it's also easier to get back up and running when something goes wrong. In this case, snac's "files-only" approach demonstrated excellent resilience.

Thanks, @grunfink !

There are nice things in this "timeline", so let's find opportunities to be grateful!

I love that the #snac2 server surfaces if someone has blocked me. I get a nice notification that I was blocked every so often -- but there is one person that I am well aware of whenever they change instances (and they do it often enough that I notice) who blocks me each time.

I might not be famous, but I guess I'm infamous! Whee!

Markdown is only supported in the Hometown and GlitchSocial forks of Mastodon. Vanilla Mastodon will probably never have it, because they're going for that classic Twitter UX, for better or for worse.

Many non-Mastodon fedi servers like #GtS and #snac2 support #Markdown.

I don't know about Friendica, *oma, and *key, though.

snac is rather awesome software. It's lightweight, exceedingly fast and just works.

Thanks @grunfink@comam.es (and other contributors to the project).

#snac2 #fediverse

I'm running snac/2.92-dev.

I notice that in the notifications page that the 'clear all' button does not function. Is anyone else having this issue?

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.

'sloccount' says snac2 is valuable:

#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.

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.

My instance runs on #snac2. I like it.
