I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.76 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:Added Webmention support for links (Markdown-style or direct) written in a post.Added new command-line options for list maintenance.Display custom emoji in more places (contributed by dandelions).Mastodon API: fixed infinite scroll in many clients (thanks to cheeaun for giving me the clue), added /api/v1/accounts/.../lists endpoint (contributed by dandelions).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).https://comam.es/what-is-snacIf you find #snac useful, please consider buying grunfink a coffee or contributing via LiberaPay.#snacAnnounces

Links in the post content are now also added to the list of attachments as type "Link". I don't know why they are shown as broken. I'll take a look at it.

Curl also has support for doing SMTP connections, as well as FTP and others (even IMAP? not sure about this).

@grunfink@comam.es @wowaname@freesoftwareextremist.com The scope hasn't been "HTTP library" for more than 25 years. I assume it's "overarching" for the same reason why most big "evolved" software are; things just got piled up over time, as the shared infrastructure makes adding new things to the same application faster than building new "do one thing and do it well" tools.cURL started as an HTTP client in 1996, it was called httpget at the time, and then it got FTP support in 1997, changing the scope of the library to something like "transfer data to and from any URL", hence it was renamed the same year to urlget. In 1998 it was renamed to cURL because too many projects were called urlget. From there onward, more protocols were added because the scope of the library became "Any protocol with a URL". SMTP support was added in 2010, in the same borg spirit :)By now cURL has some 30 protocols or so.It's been a long time of course, and that's all I could piece from the changelogs. I wonder if @bagder@mastodon.social would kindly chime in more on whether there was any discussions of splitting cURL into separate per-protocol applications, advantages of the current design, or more on the philosophy behind this architecture.
