I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.63 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

The server can now act as a proxy for all image, audio or video media coming from other account's posts (both from the Web UI and the Mastodon API). This way, other servers will see media requests coming from the server IP, not the user's, improving privacy. This is controlled by setting the proxy_media boolean field to server.json to true.

The strict_public_timelines option introduced in the previous release now works correctly.

Fixed a crash when posting from the links browser.

Fixed some repeated images from Lemmy posts.

Fixed a crash when posting an image from the tooot mobile app.

Updated FreeBSD rc script: the server process is now managed by the daemon(8) utility (contributed by @stefano@bsd.cafe).

RSS feeds are now in 2.0 version instead of 0.91.
