What is Hackers' Pub?

Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

In the end it seems to me that one of the main distinctions between people who see LLMs as good and those who don't is whether they see the digital part of the world as "content" or "people".

If it's all just content, LLMs make sense. If it's where people live LLMs become a somewhat dumb idea.

Lol, I get such friendly spam trying to get naughty hyperlinks into my guestbook:

_____

Name:

Email:

Url:
[censored - something about chat rulet and new models]

Message:
Keep up the remarkable work !! Lovin' it!
____

Now I've learned that секс means sex 🤭

Got spam emails this morning by someone who opened an issue on GitHub with what was probably a very unsafe link and then just tagged dozens of users over and over and over. Why we needed 50 copies in a row of the same notification, IDK. Thankfully, the account is terminated already, but if this starts to be a regular thing, I might have to abandon GitHub altogether.




@hosford42Aaron I have copies of all my public repositories on GitHub still, because on GitHub they're discoverable. But GitHub is no longer a safe place for people; it's increasingly an engine of exploitation, and it's increasingly a place where malefactors are tolerated.

I am really looking forward to the point where federation in @forgejo works well, so that we can have reasonable discoverability in .

"Hi from the Philippines!
Just wondering what inspired you to make 'Whimsica11y' site?"

(Reference: whimsica11y.net)

It may have come after starting cs.sjoy.lol - I started getting requests to join from people with wonderful and characterful websites that might actually be hard to enjoy for some people.

I don't turn them all away, but I think a lot of people want their sites to be accessible, and the WCAG aren't written for hobbyists.

What should happen if an Like activity uses direct addressing (no as:Public)? It seems the intent is that you want to send a "private" Like notification to the activity recipients. Should the public like count be incremented or not as a side-effect? If not, Like counts would be dependent on the authorization of the actor fetching an AP object. I hope ActivityPub 2.0 has better authorization guidance.

Been screwing around with Nixos today and holy crap, this is the fastest I have ever setup a Mastodon instance.

Added everything in as described on the wiki and BOOM! The instance came up and I could create an account.

I still know NOTHING about Nixos other than some YouTube knowledge but I kinda feel like this can replace Ubuntu for my servers that I run.

Also... I DIDN'T KNOW CHANING THE FAVICON WAS BUILT INTO MASTODON NOW. I have just updated the esper.lol one.
