Piero Bosio Social Web Site Personale

Hello everyone!As we do every year, we're taking some time off for the holidays.This year, the #GoToSocial maintainer holiday period will last from December 19th up to and including January 4th, so we'll be back in action on January 5th.What this means:We will make our matrix chat (general, help, and code channels) read-only.We will disable our issue tracker on Codeberg so that we don't have to worry about tracking + triaging issues.1We may do little bits of work if we feel like it, but we won't be reviewing any pull requests from others.2We will be absolutely chilling our tits off and doing fun stuff with friends, family, lovers, and whatnot.We're looking forward to recharging our batteries over the holidays, and coming back in January ready to kick some ass!Thanks for reading, and happy holidays to you <3 ​ 🏳️‍⚧️ ​ 🏳️‍🌈Unfortunately, Codeberg doesn't let you just make issues read only, so we'll have to disable / hide the issues tracker entirely during this time, unlike previous years when we were on Github. ↩︎Codeberg also doesn't (yet!) let you disable pull requests for everyone but maintainers. ↩︎

@stereo thank you Ralf! I wish I (a) spoke German (b) could have attended one of your workshops. Thank you for all your FOSS and digital literacy advocacy 🙏​ and of course for your help and encouragement with my experimentations ☺️​

@_elena @teapot_ben Matomo is really powerful, yet easy to use, I have been using it since it was called Piwik which was a long time ago. Definitely recommended

@JuleLe when I ran into a similar problem I just upgraded to a higher tier. But with Hetzner apparently you can easily do it... discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hetzner/comments/1125618/hetzner_cloud_add_more_storage/

neat, #GoToSocial got featured in Codeberg's latest newsletter good sloth

e vabbeh, aggiorniamo!CC: @gotosocial@superseriousbusiness.org

One final annoyance with my @gotosocial migration!I implemented a split-domain setup, as wonderfully documented by @gotosocial here: docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/Note that #Mastodon also supports it, and documents it similarly here: docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/coIn both Mastodon and #GoToSocial, I notice that web clients FAIL to login with the account domain.From what I see on the web server, the account domain receives exactly ONE request:"POST /api/v1/apps HTTP/2.0" 404 146 "-" "Tusky/31.1 Android/15 OkHttp/5.1.0"(This is Tusky, but Mastodon's app and others behave the same)I tried to 301 / 307 redirect that endpoint (against @gotosocial's recommendation), but that fails in the same way (except I see the different matching code on the web server).As a side effect, apps show my username as: at evilham at fedi.unchat.cat, instead of @evilham, which is what I actually wanted.What to do? >,<

@luca how do you solve the DNS and port problem?

@klu9 installing Sharkey on my TLD bricked the whole installation (because I’m such an airhead sometimes) so I’m nuking that VPS and trying again this morning 🫠

@giacomo @informapirata @beachcomber @alephoto85 Snac2 is great. The only thing that got me back at hosting a full mastodon instance was because I wanted to use a mastodon mobile app fully. So it depend how you intend to use it :)But like I just said; a mastodon app. Snac2 is not Mastodon. It has, howerver, a "compatibility" mastodon API. It was just not enough for me personally.But beside that; Snac2 is really a game changer. Stable, reliable and low on memory/cpu usage.

@77nnBack on track with a flawless upgrade:Hardware (new SSD in place of an HDD)OS (Debian Trixie in place of Mint)GtS (last stable release)

#GoToSocial has been approved for NLnet NGI Zero Commons funding for 2026! That is, among a number of other cool projects you can check out here:https://nlnet.nl/news/2025/20251016-selection-NGI0CommonsFund.htmlThe blurb for what we'll be working on in 2026 is as follows:GoToSocial is an ActivityPub social network server, written in Go. It complements existing ActivityPub implementations by providing a lightweight, customizable entryway into decentralized social media hosting. GoToSocial places a high value on ease of deployment and maintenance; this means low system requirements, minimal external dependencies, and clear documentation. GoToSocial empowers self-hosting newcomers to deploy small, personalized instances, from which they connect to others across the Fediverse, using low-powered equipment lying around at home. In this project, the GoToSocial team adds new moderation and federation features to GoToSocial, bringing it towards a version 1.0 release (projected end 2026).Translated to something more concrete, that means we're going to be working on implementing: relay support, instance limits and mutes, old status cleanup, more easily configurable memory usage, tracking of unreachable instances, better search, and a bunch of performance improvements to keep GtS running well on lower-spec computers. And of course, fixing bugs, and likely implementing a few other cheeky features between the soup and the potatoes (kim is interested in looking at quote posts, for example, and tobi will likely do some silly things like the recent ListenBrainz integration).If things turn out favorably, this chunk of work will bring us towards calling a proper v1.0.0 release by the end of 2026. Ie., we'll finally be able to say "it's good enough to recommend to people".Thanks for reading! 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

My favorite #fediverse platforms are #snac and #GoToSocialChange my mind.

@thomas yes! the update on YunoHost took 1 min 15 seconds and the instance was offline for 20 minutes but then all good. I'm still here! 😅​

The GoToSocial post import tool, slurp, now supports BlueSky post and media imports, backdated and all. I even used a custom PDS.I'll do a write up at some point.The most suprising thing, which probably should not have been a surprise - all your BlueSKy posts and media are completely public, and you can grab ANYONE's collection of posts and media if you want....no auth required.https://github.com/VyrCossont/slurp?tab=readme-ov-file#downloading-and-importing-a-bluesky-archive#BlueSky #GoToSocial
