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.
Are you happy right now? No? Did you vote for Harris?

Very happy to announce my book The Linux Memory Manager is now available to pre-order at
https://nostarch.com/linux-memory-manager
It's a comprehensive 1,300 page exploration of how memory functions in Linux that goes into great depth on the subject, and is the first book of its kind for 20 years :)
This White House doesn’t care about free speech or informing the American people.
It cares about controlling the narrative by shutting out the press and punishing anyone who challenges it in even the smallest of ways.
All Americans should object to this unconstitutional ban on The Associated Press.

mastodon app should encourage necro replying rather than discourage. the popup should be like "this post is only an hour old. would you like to schedule a reply for 6 months in the future?"

Starting with version 3.17.0, Mitra can verify HTTP signatures generated using Ed25519 keys. Both publicKey and FEP-521a key representations are supported.
I know only one service capable of generating such signatures, it's FedBOX, and we have done successful federation tests with its developer, 
@mariusormarius.
RFC 9421 support is planned too.
(Another nice feature of FedBOX is implementation of ActivityPub C2S API. I had the opportunity to use it, and it actually works!)

I need to re-do an intro post? Alrighty then! I'm Rycochet, I'm a squirrel person, he/him, I like music, robot toys, retro tech and snarking a whole bunch. I'm an occasional artist, ukulele mangler, coffee drinker and Brit. I like to reply to people and I make no apology for that, it feels like a more worthwhile response to an interesting toot than a like, and it helps meet new people and make them feel like they're not shouting into the void.
Since quote posts are coming, here’s a great blog post by

Today i'm launching Sinfully Southern, my new Bonfire store! 🖤
https://www.bonfire.com/store/sinfully-southern/
Bonfire allows you to fundraise on behalf of nonprofits. All proceeds from the "All Abortion Bans Are Extreme" shirt go to the Kentucky Health Justice Center, which supports gender affirming and reproductive care 
I don't want to clog up my personal feed, so most of my posts about the store will be on my brand account over on BlueSky. If you don't to see anything, filter out #SinfullySouthern.
Brand account:

20 years after having released the first edition of NHAM - a physical magazine to promote music and arts in a provincial UK town - I'm delighted to launch NHAM online music magazine: A platform that will endeavour to connect many of the dots in our amazing indie music scene here in the Fedi and beyond: https://nham.co.uk/

I urge you to read this essay. It's the last one in a collection of essays I've been reading by Stuart Hall, the brilliant marxist cultural theorist active in the U.K. from the 1960s through 2014.
The Great Moving Right Show describes the changing political, economic and social climate in Great Britain in the 1970s which gave rise to Margaret Thatcher.
As I've been reading it, the parallels to the rise of Trump and his rightwing cronies in the U.S. were profound. It seems that the people at Black Agenda Report felt the same way.
A long essay, very worth your time.
I think Thatcherism was a blueprint for the GOP.

Bringing this highly requested feature to #Mastodon and the fediverse is not as trivial as some might think, but quote posts are coming. Here is our latest write-up about our progress:
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/bringing-quote-posts-to-mastodon/
For those who missed my closing talk at #FOSDEM on the #SocialWebFOSDEM track (which was part of the "After Hours" event), I've recorded a standalone version. Feel free to boost for reach - and also share with civic institutions and community leaders. #FediverseForFreedom
As mentioned in Trunk & Tidbits earlier this week, we're sharing our approach to building quote posts for Mastodon. More to do here, but this is the background. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/bringing-quote-posts-to-mastodon/
There is a seed of courage hidden (often deeply, it is true) in the heart of the fattest and most timid hobbit, waiting for some final and desperate danger to make it grow.
this quote from the fellowship of the ring resonates with me today

Have y'all seen this? I used to have a delusion that then-President Obama knew me. So I started emailing them all the time. Then I started donating to the Obama Foundation. I was absolutely floored when this popped up in my mailbox! I've got a whole collection from various Presidents and First Ladies now! Not even hyperbole!💯

So, last night #Bluesky was down for a while. You know, stuff happens. mastodon.online also had a tough time yesterday. But, when bsky.social went down, all of Bluesky stopped working. When mastodon.online went down, Mastodon kept right in ticking.
Show your love for #railsANDtrails! Help #BuildtheQueensLink with donations so they can study the benefits of their vision!

"Are you venting, or do you want to discuss solutions" is critical metadata that should be included in every Fediverse post
To me, it feels like the Activity Types should have been past-tense verbs, rather than present-tense verbs.
I.e.:
• "Accepted" rather than "Accept"
• "Added" rather than "Add"
• "Announced" rather than "Announce"
• "Arrived" rather than "Arrive"
• "Blocked" rather than "Block"
• "Created" rather than "Create"
• etc
Present-tense verbs feel like commands.
Past-tense verbs feel like events.
Activities are events not commands.

don't mind me, just answering some Frequently Asked Questions about my creative works here 
ART USAGE:
Can I use your art as a PFP and/or Banner? Maybe repost it too?
Starting February 26th, all my art made for social media specifically (both old and new) is licensed under the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license, so as long as you follow its terms I'm ok with it.
Keep in mind this is for SOCIAL MEDIA ART specifically, art made for commissions or for my Ko-Fi/Itch.io stores for instance don't apply to this (for more information on my commissions license, read my ToS/FAQ at Carrd! as for Ko-Fi/Itch.io, it should be detailed on the description of what you're looking at.)
Do I need to give you credit if I use your palettes?
Not at all! While credits for using them is appreciated, it isn't required for these.
OTHER
Commissions when?
When I can actually work on them (and don't feel so bad about my art).
What's the best way to support you?
by being part of my Ko-Fi memberships! I know it pesters some people, but this is genuinely the best way to support me all time around and allows me to do more silly art for you all.
If you can't afford to donate at all, just do some word-of-mouth! doing a boost or a follow helps a lot more than you may think
