A screenshot of a toot describing unpleasant world news in words. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]Hi, author here. The screenshot you provided shows that it's a boost by a user named Newk... if you are not following them, certainly it should not appear in your timeline. I've never seen this happen before, maybe it's some kind of strange bug. I'll investigate and get back to you if I find an explanation.

        Looking at my snac status for debugging landlock, I've seen quite some 403 errors. It seems cloudflare doesn't like the snac user agent? (If I attribute that typocsl phrase correctly)
        Well I don't like cloudflare, so we're good I think.

          I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.78 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

          Hashtag following also allow URLs to RSS feeds of ActivityPub objects (like e.g. https://mastodon.social/tags/ThankYouTuesday).

          Users can now configure a webhook to receive an HTTP POST for every notification. This can be useful for implementing bots that react to activities, like autorepliers, chatbots or interactive textual games (see snac(1) for more information).

          The number of pending follow confirmations is shown next to the "people" link.

          Faster performance metrics (contributed by dandelions).

          Improved lowercasing in hashtags (contributed by postscriptum).

          A search-by-url tweak for implementations that return 200 for invalid webfinger queries (e.g. piefed).

          Mastodon API: added follow confirmation endpoints, fixed collisions in attachment file names.

          Fixed potential crashes in attachment uploads.

                            The last release fixes a problem with the Mastodon API. Now, apps (or webapps like Phanpy) properly work as the "inifite scrolling" has been fixed.
                            Thanks, Stefano. To be fair, the merit for this fix goes to @cheeaun@mastodon.social (Phanpy's author), who brought to my attention where the problem was.

                                  Hi, author here. The xs code is specially crafted to parse the JSON files in use in the ActivityPub protocol, which are a) mostly small, and b) they have very few numbers, so the string to double conversion happens almost never.

                                  Regarding the enum numbers: they are surely arbitrary, but the rationale there is that they are all ASCII control codes (so: less than 32) that should never happen in a JSON file (and, if they occasionally appear, they are converted to their Unicode representations). The correspondence is:

                                  XS_TYPE_STRING 0x02 ASCII: STX (start of text)
                                  XS_TYPE_TRUE 0x06 ASCII: ACK (acknowledge)
                                  XS_TYPE_FALSE 0x15 ASCII: NAK (negative ack.)
                                  XS_TYPE_LIST 0x1d ASCII: GS (group separator)
                                  XS_TYPE_LITEM 0x1f US (unit separator)
                                  XS_TYPE_DICT 0x1c ASCII: FS (file separator)
                                  So, yes, they are arbitrary, but make some fucking sense, or at least a little bit.

                                      Email notifications can now be sent via libcurl SMTP instead of spawning the /usr/sbin/sendmail program. To use this new feature, some additional server configuration is needed, see snac(8) (contributed by shtrophic).
