I remembered @stefano@bsd.cafe wrote a really nice short article on how he did with nginx:
https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/01/29/improving-snac-performance-with-nginx-proxy-cache/
Definitely an improvement! Even more convenient to set up with Guix deploy.
Predictably the resource utilization is dramatically different than Mastodon.
No idea how well that works or whether this makes any sense. 😂
I come out to see that the marvelous @lisamelton@mastodon.social gave it a boost! Thank you Lisa!
Then I went to check on my VPS and it is showing:
load average: 0.07, 0.05, 0.05
New #snac instance survived a Lisa boost. Yay! (Lisa Melton Boost Certified)
Thanks @mkljczk@fediverse.pl
I also took the chance to update #snac and, again, no surprises. Great piece of software.
CW: Spicy take about Mastodon (specifically) [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
If you really believe in the silly 250 character limit, then why the heck is everyone posting "3/12" continuation threads?
Either the limit is a good idea, and nobody should post multi-part toots, or its a dumb idea, and should be retired (in favor of a ~6k post limit). One or the other. Cut the crap, already.
I'd 100x rather see long posts shortened with a "See more" button than yet another toot that ends with "1/" 🤦🏻♂️
Forcing people to create threads just to get their thought across is terrible UX, and I'm tired of being diplomatic about it.
You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
A simple, minimalistic and well documented #ActivityPub instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.
Quick and easy update, as usual.
From release notes: "Added a new CONTRIBUTING.md file ... AI contributions are NOT accepted." 👍 and "Snac is now available as a Yunohost app." 🎉
Thanks to oxzi, matoken, Louis Merlin, dandelions, Bruno Cesar Rocha and any other contributors I may have missed as well!
I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.91 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/31777
GitHub Continuous Integration checks are running, hopefully they will complete without issues?
Regardless, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it!

Ever have those moments where you feel as if the kids may be alright?
@grunfink@comam.es continues to deliver!
I have set up #snac on another host and I am quite liking it.
I am hoping I can find a reasonable way to plumb certain RSS feeds through to some
accounts without resorting to writing yet another RSS feed parser myself
"If you want to be in the Fediverse without relying on big intances, or if you just want to own your #data & #identity on the network, running your own instance is the way to go.
That is where Mastodon alternatives such as GoToSocial & #snac comes in.
snac (Social Networks Are Crap) is a minimalistic, lightweight #ActivityPub instance…perfect for single user instances or small communities, and it's so light that even a #RaspberryPi can handle it without breaking a sweat."

I had the same issue last year when I tried caching in nginx post images / videos with snac and had given up: Mona and other iOS apps ask for a 0-1 byte range as a test request and it failed . It works for other clients but not … for me to see my own posts on iOS :1/
Turns out the solution was disabling slice on nginx. Works for #GotoSocial and I assume for #snac.
Attaching captures of both files in here in case anyone is interested . Might be worth a proper blog post at some point. Maybe only after I fully understand what I have done :-)
Yes I am aware of privacy issue of caching the /fileserver path. Then again it’s my instance and I am alone on it and it’s not like GTS file’s URLs are easy to guess.

Capture of terminal showing snippet for proxy cache . A magenta line circles two lines that say:
slice 0;
proxy_set_header Range $http_range;
Yes, It is save and recommended to use your own.
