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.
Planning out the next season for Dot Social. Who would you most love to hear from? Which topics do you really want us to go deep on?

I wonder if I could use Javascript to combine this video

with the superior audio from

Like embed both youtube videos in one page, mute one, and play both with an offset on one so they sync. And then get an un-takedownable version of My Preferred Version of the video
@recon@infosec.exchange for an amazing 20 year anniversary!
@ic3qu33n@infosec.exchangeic3queen's on EBC (admittedly, perhaps the only talk to even make mention of the demo scene which is near and dear to my heart). Dr. Andrew Zonenberg's presentation was also outstandingly excellent!Speaking of birds who need a thought-bubble, here’s a shouty male who is in need of a talk-bubble. What do you think he’s saying?

@stefanoStefano Marinelli and I are going to give a talk together at #EuroBSDCon 2025 
Fantastic!
The title of our talk is: Liberating the social web using BSD.
Would love to see you at Zagreb - but the talk will be livestreamed and published for on-demand viewing too.
Sooo looking forward to this!
What I'm listening to today: "Goldener Reiter", Joachim Witt
A long time ago I got captivated by this odd 1980 Krautrock track, with its weird mix of melancholy and peppy, 90s CGI video, and breaking into English with "und I'm feeling up" in the chorus. I was wrong about everything! The video (now copyright-claimed off YouTube) was for a 1994 remix and re-synced with the original audio; there's no English; and the lyrics are about medical abuse so uh, CW German speakers

Sometimes, I receive questions which leave both me, and the person asking, bamboozled.
> Your website loads so quickly! What CDN do you use?
There is no CDN. It is just really small and simple, mostly text.
> Sure, but is that Cloudflare, or...?
None. It is a tiny website, just a few kilobytes per page, on a tiny server, at my home, connected to the Internet via my ISP, Andrews & Arnold.
> But are you / they in the cloud?
No. The webserver is in Newbury, in my garage.
> Neil, please can you pass my questions to your technical person? I don't think you understand, your website cannot be in your home. It must be in the cloud or have a CDN.
*Neil puts on glasses and false nose and moustache*
It is as if the "old magic" has got lost in a sea of "cloud" and "node" and "react" and the like.
Putting files of text on a webserver, and hosting it, is so old fashioned, so ancient, that it is almost inconceivable.
‘혼인평등’ 헌법소원 낸 동성부부…“정치·제도 빼고 다 바뀌고 있어요” https://www.hani.co.kr/arti/society/society_general/1205571.html
"서울동부지방법원은 예상대로 지난 4월 두 사람의 혼인신고 불수리 불복 소송을 각하하고 위헌법률심판제청도 기각했다. 다시 그 결과를 쥐고 찾은 곳이 헌법재판소다. 올해 1월부터 같은 과정을 겪은 다른 동성 부부들이 순차적으로 참여하는 헌법소원심판 대열에 지난달 합류했다. “동성 결혼을 허용하지 않는 민법의 위헌 여부를 따져 달라”는 것이다. 국내에서 동성혼 법제화를 요구하는 첫 헌법소원들이다."

I've switched to a new brand of ginger tea
The brand is just whatever ginger is in my supermarket, cut up and with hot water poured over it
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber
The thinner the slices, the more intense the aroma. I also use crushed green cardamom or one or two cloves as an additional addition.
Now that I've seen the first trailer of Project Hail Mary, I'm cautiously optimistic that they didn't fsck up one of my favourite books of the past five years 🥳
Big spoiler warning though: If you haven't read the book yet, IMHO you should consider avoiding the trailer, at least its second half. You have been warned 😉
2023 und 2024 sind jeweils rund 3000 Menschen an Hitze gestorben, so eine Studie von UBA und RKI. Das ist die Größenordnung, über die wir reden. Also reden müssten.

What I'm listening to today: "Untitled A ( Rock To The Beat )", Ferro
Another from the "Techno Vinyl Records" account's collection, this one's a little more genrefucky, with a more variety, bringing in strange sounds and "House Music" feels. A good gradual buildup.
(Honestly, I linked you that other track yesterday so I could link you this track today. This is how much variety you can get out of a initially-seemingly-rigid genre with some slight changes in texture.)

OMG just came up with a design for an Aurie database structure that should be good and performant and I am excited

@BibliothecarisUniversityofGroningenLibrary if they are technically the same age as the university itself?
ETA: The university's founding is 1614, I can't find a separate date for the library
