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.
If you missed 
@molly0xfffMolly White's #SXSW conversation with 
@mikeMike McCue about digital sovereignty, you missed out — one audience member said it was "worth the badge alone." Luckily, it's now available on the SXSW site. Check it out here:

We're working on editing all the #FediverseHouse panels and talks, and we'll post them and let you know here as soon as they're ready!
proposal to people coopting terms like “fediverse” or “social web” to just be honest and say you want a “united social media” or “united social network” instead. that’s what federation and bridging are in service of: grand unity within your envisioned “global town square”. it then follows that some people are maximalists trying to expand the network of networks until it covers everyone. it then also follows that some people are opposed to this when they say “fediverse” or “social web”.

Yep, Windows XP icons were designed and produced on a Mac in FreeHand.
Microsoft was our first paying client back in 1997: we made the icon suite for Outlook Express on Mac OS 9. It was the email counterpart to Internet Explorer 5.

@pixelfed I noticed when I try to share photos directly out of my Gallery app (Fossify) from my AOSP 15 phone, that out of the 4 Pixelfed compatible client apps I have installed, Pixeldroid and Fedilab come out as available options to upload with, but the official Pixelfed app (as well as Pixelix) do not. Anyway to fix this for the official app?

Dug into Xata Agent, a new LLM-driven system to help monitor and optimize a PostgreSQL database. It's built around "playbooks", which are prompts that look like this. Building software with LLMs is so weird! https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/13/xata-agent/

Palestinians in Gaza's border areas have continued to be killed and injured on a daily basis since the ceasefire began in mid-January. A resident of Shuja'iyya tells Mondoweiss, "The war has not stopped, quite the opposite. The war intensified."

I still can't believe that a speech of mine got played on nationwide radio. What an odd situation. I wonder who even heard it.
Commissions now open. DM me for requests, sfw only plz :).
I've been studying fsync() for a couple of years and I thought I'd seen every weird way that it could be used and misused, but this week I learned of one more that exists in the wild: if the program crashes between write() and fsync(), on restart, fsync() after open() to ensure those writes are on disk.
I am pretty sure this doesn't do what people think it does, and here's why:
https://despairlabs.com/blog/posts/2025-03-13-fsync-after-open-is-an-elaborate-no-op/
fsync() after open() is an elaborate no-op
I have spent the last couple of years of my life trying to make sense of fsync() and bringing OpenZFS up to code. I’ve read a lot of horror stories about this apparently-simple syscall in that time, usually written by people who tried very hard to get it right but ended up losing data in different ways. I hesitate to say I enjoy reading these things, because they usually start with some catastrophic data loss situation and that’s just miserably unfair. At least, I think they’re important reads, and I’m always glad to see another story of fsync() done right, or done wrong.

I hate the recovery from post-exertion malaise. The worst part isn't just the helpless uselessness, it's not knowing how long it's going to last.
지금을 대 윤석열 토벌전의 특정한 중대국면이라고 인식하면 사건 하나하나에 일희일비하며 지치기 쉽습니다. 이것은 사회대개혁을 위해 수십 년 전부터 이어져 온 거대한 물결 속 높은 파도 중 하나일 뿐입니다. 투쟁은 12월 3일에 시작되지 아니하였으며 3월에 갑자기 끝날 리도 없습니다. 우리가 완전히 승리할 날은 오지 않겠지만 같은 이유에서 완전히 패배할 날도 오지 않을 것입니다. 이겨도 결코 다 이긴 것이 아니겠지만 진다 해도 결코 온전히 진 것이 아닐 것입니다. 오직 정의롭게, 포기하지 말기.
no, i will not cw all political posts unless i think it's necessary due to something specific (csa, sa, racists being violent, are examples) or not especially relevant to everyone outside of a place (such as canadian regional stuff or not really relevant to anyone outside of canada).
the personal is political in capitalism. what i choose to cw is at my discretion. if you have a problem with me having self-agency to decide when it's appropriate or not, then do not follow me.
this is not a debate.
I've never once gotten a security vulnerability report in my software. Until this year. This year I've gotten 4 beg bounties (all of which are completely false/irrelevant reports). If you haven't read 
@troyhunt's post about Beg Bounties, I highly recommend reading it.
These people are actively harming software security.
Two big LLM releases today - Cohere's Command A https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/13/command-a/ and Ai2's OLMo 2
OLMo claims to be "the first fully-open model (all data, code, weights, and details are freely available) to outperform GPT3.5-Turbo and GPT-4o mini", which feels notable https://allenai.org/blog/olmo2-32B
すてきカツ!!
every fiber of my body is a guitar string begging to be played
every noise I make, every sound produced outside of my own will
every sharp breath I take, every exhale I dare
play my heartstrings like the muse you are, let my body dance to your melody
every shiver running down my spine, any quiver of my skin, shall be the muses to your epic
like a conductor leading an Orchester, your tongue in my mouth is all I can focus on, being just a musician in your ensemble
following the rhythm you dictate my body executing every note with exact precision, mindlessly like it practiced all its life
show me your newest song, I yearn for this performance
today is either the 9th or 10th anniversary of me tweeting that i just keep getting hotter and smarter https://pixel.kitchen/@jenn/109377182473207093
We're at $820 of my matching goal of $5000 for United Farm Workers! I'm really hoping we can get to $1000 soon.
They're one of the most organized, on-the-ground organizations supporting farm communities and hence many undocumented workers. Wages are shockingly low in agriculture, so anything helps! https://ufw.org/sparechange/

ok so 
@timonskuTimon 🛠 visited and soldered his custom multitouch trackpad design for the MNT Reform Next. and it works! i just had to bring my windows 10 VM up to date to run azoteq's config/debug GUI which you can see here, and figure out the correct rx/tx col/row mappings. next step will be integrating the new chip in our open source firmware.
