   Strangely on a Sunday morning, I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.67 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:
   
   The search box also accepts post URLs; the post is requested and, if it's found, can be interacted with (liked, boosted, replied to, etc.).
   
   IP addresses for failed logins are tracked and throttled to mitigate brute force attacks (see snac(8) for more information).
   
   Fixed a bug regarding repeated attachments when editing a post.
   
   Mastodon API: Improved timeline pagination in some clients (details: an HTTP Link header has been added), fixed missing audio attachments, fixed an incorrect value for the bot field in newly created accounts, fixed a crash, implemented markers (contributed by nowster).
   
   When running in server mode, the pidfile is locked to avoid concurrent running of the same server instance.
   
   Added documentation and some tweaks to enable static compilation with musl (contributed by Shamar).

     I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.67 here:
     
     https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/27188
     
     Two of three GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks passed, which is a good sign; hopefully the others will pass without issues.
     
     As usual, it's up to others with commit access to merge it!
     
     Thanks again for your and others' continued improvements to snac! Specifically I noticed shout outs to nowster and Shamar in the RELEASE_NOTES.md and I seem to recall watching the discourse about the PID locking suggested and discussed rather collaboratively too!
     
     (My apologies for the delay. The Makefile was slightly modified, which in turn broke the $files/Makefile.patch applied by MacPorts so I needed to rework that which took me a bit longer than usual given other work obligations I have had today.
     
     Though not a concern for upstream, for MacPorts users I also noticed the following warning when running % port test:
     
     "Warning: violation by /opt/local/man
     Warning: snac violates the layout of the ports-filesystems!
     Warning: Please fix or indicate this misbehavior (if it is intended), it will be an error in future releases!"
     
     Though, it appears as if the man pages are where I think they should be for MacPorts? I have never seen that Warning before, so my guess is something about MacPorts intended prescriptive behavior has been changed but I am not exactly certain what the expected behavior is supposed to be now? I will look into it further, but hopefully it isn't a concern for users at the moment; just thought I would mention it for the sake of being thorough!
     
     However, it's entirely possible I messed something up too; so if others with greater wisdom than I see that Warning and know what to do to correct it, or if they encounter any other issues with MacPorts' snac, others are more than welcome to submit Pull Requests with improvements! Or feel free to open up an issue on MacPorts Trac instance at https://trac.macports.org and I'll look into it.)

     @grunfink@comam.es Debian unstable and bookworm-backports now have the latest snac version. Thanks!

     I'm happy to do my small part. Thankfully, others have been helping to improve the MacPort as well. For example, ryandesign/Ryan Carsten Schmidt spotted the error with the man page Warning and provided a fix here:
     
     https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/27188#pullrequestreview-2520020203
     
     I had indeed, messed something up! Though thankfully it should be fixed before the update is rolled out to MacPorts' users?

     @grunfink@comam.es I can report that the Tuba client now works like a charm, but Elk and Phanpy still do not. Gotta love standardization. 😉 Thank you so much for the update!
