romanzolotarev.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
I promised it, so here it is. This is a recording of littleFedi running on a Raspberry Pi Zero W on NetBSD.
Everything is on the SD card, the database is SQLite, and caching is enabled.
Personally, I won't comment on responsiveness or anything else; I'll just say that when I use it (both via the web interface and with apps like MastoBlaster or IceCubes), I find it hard to believe what kind of hardware it's running on.
Users' sessions (by default, a maximum of 8 users but configurable) are kept "warm" with every interaction or federated activity for 15 minutes since the last login; after that, the server enters "low power mode" and simply processes incoming data without activating the (users' timelines, etc.) cache.
We don't need to get ripped off for more powerful hardware, which comes with outrageous costs these days.
We just need to optimize and build efficient software.
Abundance led to waste.

Good news, everyone!
I have added a webcam to the degu cage and it's available through the protocol named after rodents:
Making my pets #RUNBSD!
OpenBSD 7.9 will be deployed on the hosts as soon as possible!
We want to wait for the first errata to appear.
21 new VMs were added and 61 VMs were renewed.
We donated €1125 to the #OpenBSD Foundation, €66755 since we started.
Thank you, our users, and OpenBSD developers for an awesome OS!
Stay safe, healthy & sane!
#RUNBSD in 2026
