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.

Some personal thoughts 🧵

I usually don’t post about politics. I post about my work, my research group and how I try to juggle family and academic life. Because, you know, having a family and running a lab and traveling to conferences together with my little coworker is all I ever wanted. It’s my little dream come true!

Excellent, and rather worrying, blog from Carole Cadwalladr. An investigative journalist who I greatly admire. Best known for exposing some of the darker powers behind Brexit, and being greatly punished as a result:

'In 2016, I stumbled on a story about social media, data and ‘fake news’. That led me on a fantastical journalistic journey that turned into the Cambridge Analytica/Facebook scandal and a long-running investigation into Trump, Brexit and Russia. This was a story that was so far above my pay grade, it was unreal. I kept on hoping for a crack team of investigative reporters of the type that you see in the movies to turn up. They never did.

The one big lesson I learned was that investigative journalism = journalism + time. Keeping going is the key. I’m hoping that this newsletter will help in the mission. Help me keep me going. And help me to connect to a network who cares about the same issues that I do.'

My weirdo sci-fi slowburning romance debut novel More Bugs is available in eBook form now! 👽

It's also been getting some fresh blurbs and attention from year end lists... 👀

Thank you to everyone who has read it and said such nice things so far :eboy:

eBook: knighterrantpress.com/product-
Print: knighterrantpress.com/product-
Minisite: emreed.net/more_bugs

eReader devices and a paperback book showing the cover of More Bugs, a cool and creepy illustration of a person pulling away the side of their face to show a large beetle crawling out. Has a quote from David Lewis, writing in Strange Horizons' 2024 in review: "a psychologically rich love story with subcutaneous insectoids who are all at once unsettling and touchingly romantic." and a blurb from Eve Harms, author of Transmuted: "An insightful and thought-provoking portrait of suburban alienation and longing with a delightful dash of body horror. Through engrossing prose, Reed stealthily weaves the impossible and everyday to reveal the suffocating dread of our personal histories."

Many people just use their devices as tools to type words and use the internet. We aren't interested in or good at software. Spending hours of our leisure time learning how to set up and maintain something new or different on a computer is as interesting to us as unblocking drains or learning a sport we hate. Please let us moan about AI enshittification or express a wish for a Digital Deshittification subscription service without yelling 'do it yourself' and 'Linux!' at us every time.

So as I am taking inventory of a first aid kit that was supplied to me (yes, I am pedantic enough to fucking inventory a first aid kit so I know what to replace if I use it): companies. Please. Put product numbers on your packaging. I don't care how useless you think it is, your opaque-ass package means I can't tell if this is gauze, a bandage, or just surgical tape because I have no sight nor discernable texture and SOMEONE didn't want to put anything except their NAME on it!

Thank you for coming to my ted talk complaint.

계정을 얌전하게 쓰고 싶지만 사실 원래 분위기는 이런 쪽에 가까운 사람입니다.
물론…. 저건 거의 농담이고, 하지 않는 일들도 당연히 있습니다.
예를 들면, 어떤 경우에도 남을 해하는 것을 목적으로 하는 상담은 하지 않습니다.
가끔 농담으로 악마 소환해줘! 저주해줘! 하는 분들이 계시는데, 진지하게 대답하자면 일단은 역량이 부족합니다. 소환 류가 항상 어려워요.
저주는 하고 싶지도 않고, 품이 너무 많이 듭니다.
이런 얘기 하는 사람 신기하죠?

The nyckelharpa is a folk instrument from Sweden 🇸🇪 with a long standing tradition there. "Nyckelharpa" is a Swedish word, "nyckel" meaning "key" and "harpa" being a general term for a stringed instrument. Its key features (hah, see what I did there?) are the sympathetic strings and a keybox full of wooden keys. Some translate it into English to "keyed fiddle" 🗝️ 🎻 "viola de teclas" in Spanish or "viola d'amore a chiavi" in Italian - although it is not a fiddle or viola ;)

How it works: I produce the sound with a bow on the strings, like on any other bowed instrument, but instead of touching the strings with the fingers of my left hand and pushing them down on a fretboard or fingerboard to play a melody, I press a key. The key moves a little wooden tangent to the string and tada, the note changes 🎉 The magical sound of the nyckelharpa is created from its sympathetic strings (usually 12) which are enhancing every note I play on the four melody strings.

If you want to hear some nyckelharpa music, you're welcome on my duos bandcamp aklejafolk.bandcamp.com or search for "Akleja" wherever you like to stream music. More names you can look for there are Josefina Paulson, Hazelius Hedin, Emilia Amper, Väsen, Daniel Pettersson / Sotali, Erik Rydvall - there are so many FANTASTIC players out there! 😭

The instrument pictured here was made by Mats Wester.

A close-up of the keybox and keys (some have gold paint on them) of a nyckelharpa. You can see the delicate carving job the luthier did on the key heads and instrument. On the right you can see the wooden pegs that touch the strings to change the note and some sympathetic strings next to the highest playing string.A closeup of the head stock of a nyckelharpa. You can see the four big friction pegs that hold the melody strings and mechanics on the left and right side of the head, holding the twelve sympathetic strings. The headstock design is elegant and light and there is some decorations burnt into the wood.A close-up of one of the f-holes on the soundboard of a nyckelharpa. You see the distinct outline of the body and a traditional decorative pattern burnt next to the rim. In the corners, these form little flowers. On the right side you can see the bridge and a lot of strings (thick ones for melody playing, thin ones are sympathetic strings) going over it. The wood has a honey colour.

To reiterate the thing I have always maintained and try very hard to live up to: I don't lie. I doubly don't lie to the people I love /who may depend on the things I offer/.

If I can't provide something I say so. If I say I can provide something i intend to and will maintain the resources to do so.

Because letting someone think they have a safety net when they don't, even with the best of intentions ('i let you think so to give you the psychological safety to solve it yourself'), is unethical

Quick update on shipping to the US. The situation is the same, except we are currently able to ship to the US. The tariff cost will still apply to new orders.

February community update releasing soon.

안녕하세요! :hollo:

Hollo의 새로운 계획에 대해 여러분의 의견을 듣고자 합니다.

지금까지 Hollo는 셀프 호스팅을 기본 원칙으로 삼아왔습니다. 이는 앞으로도 변함없이 유지될 것이며, 소스 코드는 계속해서 AGPLv3 라이선스로 공개됩니다.

최근 저희는 프로젝트의 지속 가능한 발전을 위해, Open Collective(@opencollective)를 통해 일정 금액 이상을 정기적으로 후원해 주시는 분들을 위한 호스팅 서비스 제공을 검토하고 있습니다.

이는 기술적인 부분에 신경 쓰지 않고도 Hollo를 이용하고 싶으신 분들을 위한 추가 옵션이 될 것입니다. 물론 지금처럼 직접 설치하고 운영하시는 것도 계속 가능합니다.

아래 인용된 영어 게시물의 투표에 참여해 주시면 감사하겠습니다! 📊

  1. 좋은 생각입니다! 호스팅 서비스를 이용하고 싶어요.
  2. 괜찮네요! 전 셀프 호스팅을 계속하지만 응원합니다.
  3. 다른 방식으로 후원을 늘리는 게 좋겠어요.
  4. 현재처럼 순수 셀프 호스팅으로 남았으면 좋겠어요.

💭 추가 의견이나 제안이 있으시다면 댓글로 남겨주세요!

みなさん、こんにちは! :hollo:

Holloの新しい計画について、みなさんのご意見をお聞かせください。

これまでHolloは、セルフホスティングを基本原則としてきました。これは今後も変わることなく維持され、ソースコードは引き続きAGPLv3ライセンスで公開されます。

最近、プロジェクトの持続可能な発展のため、Open Collective (@opencollective )を通じて一定額以上を定期的にご支援いただいている方々向けに、ホスティングサービスの提供を検討しています。

これは、技術的な部分を気にすることなくHolloを利用したい方のための追加オプションとなります。もちろん、現在のように自身でインストールして運用することも引き続き可能です。

引用させていただいた英語の投稿のアンケートにご参加ください!📊

  1. 良いアイデアです!ホスティングサービスを利用したいです。
  2. いいですね!私はセルフホスティングを続けますが、応援しています。
  3. 他の方法でサポートを増やすのが良いと思います。
  4. 現状通り純粋なセルフホスティングのままが良いです。

💭 追加のご意見やご提案がございましたら、コメントでお寄せください!

everyone! :hollo:

We'd like to hear your thoughts on something we've been considering.

As you know, Hollo has always been focused on self-hosting—this won't change, and our source code will continue to be available under the AGPLv3 license.

We're exploring ways to make the project more sustainable, and we're considering offering a hosting service for those who regularly support us with a certain amount through @opencollective.

This would be an additional option for those who want to use Hollo without managing the technical aspects themselves. Of course, you'll still be able to self-host just like you do now.

What are your thoughts on this idea? Please vote below! 📊

💭 Have additional thoughts or suggestions? Feel free to share them in the comments!

I'm renting out a room in my house in Waterloo, ON, Canada. It's currently live on misterbandb.com . I'm happy to provide it for a sliding scale or free if you send me a message. I'm mostly trying to meet people and maybe get some income while I find a job.

Oki so new time, as my old one is from a year ago! :D

Hi! I'm Miia! I like unions, bodily autonomy and human rights.

I don't like bosses, cops, priests or the state.

I'm learning how to weld and I do a bit of blacksmithing and other metalwork :3

I also cook a lot! And I talk about food all the time :D

So uhh, I guess that's it?

Oh! One more thing!

Fascists suck.

So I'm a few days late, but I found out that it's customary to write an , and so here it is <3

Hi! I'm Liz, a woman who has recently entered her 40's. I've been out and open since October, 2021, and at this point feel like a elder.

I'm a Sr. (Software) Engineering Manager with almost 20 years of experience in software development. I also have a few years in there as a Senior Product Manager, but my passion definitely lies on the engineering side of things.

I've been involved in Olympic for almost 30 years in some capacity, and for the last several I have been an armorer at collegiate, (US) national, and international events.

I am here on Mastodon after deciding to leave anything Meta behind, and realizing that BlueSky isn't the safe haven that it purports to be. I hope all of the Threads and Twitter users that ended up there don't get burned, but I'm not taking my chances with that.

Things I am likely to post about: Trans and other LGBTQIA2S+ rights, software development, vintage/retro gaming and computing, Olympic fencing and my cat.
