#snac

ps -ww -p 88163 -u | awk '{for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) a[i,NR]=$i} END {for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) { val=a[i,2]; if(a[i,1]=="VSZ" || a[i,1]=="RSS") { val=sprintf("%.2f MB", val/1024) } print a[i,1] ":\t" val }}'

#snac

Läuft spielend auf einem Raspberry Pi 4, ist schnell eingerichtet und pflegeleicht. Ich kann es sehr empfehlen.

#snac #fediverse #instanz #RaspberryPi #selfhosted #empfehlung

It only lacks auto-complete of handles and tags.

#snac

heck, I think I will *eventually* simply migrate to my snac. BSD cafe is best, self hosting is bestest.

#snac

#!/usr/bin/env bash
cd /home/snac/src/snac2
UPDATED="$(git status -uno | grep -c 'up to date')"
if [ "$UPDATED" -ne "1" ] ; then
	sudo -u snac git pull
	sudo -u snac make
	make install
	systemctl restart snac.service
fi

@df I love this idea and the software. I'm a great supporter of #snac exactly for the same reason. You don't need beefy hardware to have your own Fediverse home.
Starling is a nice because it can be used without setting up a proper server - just a php installation and a domain.

I'll keep this testing instance on and continue to test it with MastoBlaster.

Coming next week: a post about the FediMeteo bot, how it works, how it has evolved, and the overall structure of jails. The following week: caching the BSD Cafe Mastodon instances on nginx.

Stay tuned on ITNotes!

I like my little home lab and my tiny #snac instance but I'm trying to simplify my home mindspace / meatspace so thinking of burning it all down this weekend (which starts in about two hours). That likely means decommissioning my instance, exporting my @readeck stuff, and wiping my lab NUC.

My lab NUC is faster than my desktop and uses about a third of the power. I'd swap SSDs between the two (better SSD in the desktop), install #AeonDesktop, run Readeck in a local container (probably behind @tailscale) and staying on this Mastodon instance for a while. Then, offering this (tiny, Xeon-based) desktop to my co-worker for free to replace her Pi in her home lab, and voila: Marie Kondo Home Lab.

Also, I think it's important to remember that #snac also allows following hashtags by those RSS feeds provided by several Fediverse implementations (like Mastodon), avoiding the need of subscribing to a relay. E.g., you can add https://mastodon.social/tags/snac to the followed hashtags field, and it will periodically poll that RSS from the big instance and add to your timeline those posts tagged with #snac.

The usual solution is to use an ActivityPub relay. This, however, resulted in receiving looots of posts, hitting file size and inode limits on this small VM. Thus, I gave up this experiment a while ago.

Now, I just stumbled about https://relay.fedi.buzz/ from @astro@c3d2.social, which allows to only follow certain hashtags, which is kinda exactly what I wanted ❤️

After following the Subscribing to Fediverse Relays section from snac(8), I came up with the following jq(1) command to subscribe each hashtag I am already following on my #snac instance. And yes, this would be way faster to do by hand for those six hashtags in total.

$ # Create multiple snac follow commands for each hashtag the "xz"
$ # user follows. The "data" directory is the $SNAC_BASEDIR.
$ jq -j \
  '.followed_hashtags.[] | "snac follow data relay https://relay.fedi.buzz/tag/",.[1:],"; "' \
  < data/user/xz/user.json
snac follow data relay https://relay.fedi.buzz/tag/openbsd; snac follow data relay https://relay.fedi.buzz/tag/snac; [ . . . ]

Finally, I am able to doomscroll #biketooter for weird and ridiculously expensive bikes from my instance; yay!

But, you can have snac running from a subdirectory of your main domain (which, as far as I know, no other fediverse implementation does). I.e. you can have your snac root in example.com/social and then you can identify as you@example.com . So you have no unnecessary subdomain just to be you.

Which is what I do for this very domain.

#snac doesn't support split domains ;-(

I was *so* close.
