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.

Google are breaking my mittens - Sonofa. Twelve years ago I knitted a pair of “self-replicating mittens” (web-goddess.org/archive/14046) with a QR code that pointed you to the pattern for the mittens, and I entered them in the Sydney Royal Easter Show. I was pretty proud of my cleverness. In the blog post (web-goddess.org/archive/11192) where I talked about making the mittens, I said:

I wanted my code to be as simple as possible, so I needed to use a URL shortener to mask my intended address. I settled on using Google‘s, reasoning that it was likely to be around the longest. (Though who knows these days, right?)

You can guess what’s happened, right? Google URL Shortener links will no longer be available (developers.googleblog.com/en/g) as of August this year.

Bastards are breaking my mittens. Perhaps I’ll have to add some embroidery. web-goddess.org/archive/56383

A bit more context for those who don't knit or know much about QR codes: A knitting pattern consists of a lot of text (and in this case, also a chart) so it's not feasible to encode the pattern itself into a QR code small enough to fit on a mitten. Compare these two QR codes. One is 25x25, and one is 29x29. The bigger one points to the actual URL for the mitten pattern (web-goddess.org/mittens.php), while the smaller one is using the goo.gl shortener to redirect to that same URL. I had to switch to a much thinner wool to knit the QR code at a resolution that would fit on the mitten (and would actually scan), so I needed the shortest URL/smallest code that would fit. In retrospect, I shouldn't have trusted Google. Lesson learned!

MissTwi를 이용해 미스키에서 적은 툿을 트위터에 자동 업로드(미러링) 되게 만들기

안녕하세요? 제가 적용하며 지인에게 설명하려고 작성했는데 혹시 저처럼 트위터를 병행하되, 미스키 또한 중점적으로 사용하실 분이 계시다면 해당 기능을 참고하시면 좋을 것 같아 한 번 올려봅니다.

Looking for recommendations for a fedi instance for a new alt in the short term (this instance might have an outage soon and might eventually shut down entirely)

Requirements:
- Akkoma preferred (reacts, quote posts, markdown, Fedilab compatible)
- Frontend shows public/unlisted posts to anonymous users (this instance doesn't do that and it's pretty annoying when sending links to my own posts)
- High level of federation (does not block too heavily, is not blocked too heavily) (I would be happy with my fedi.absturztau.be account if that instance didn't have so many instances blocking it ages ago and never reviewing that block)
- High character limit (at least 10K, but less than 2^31 so it doesn't crash Fedilab)
- Good selection of blobcat and/or neocat emoji

ecosiaとかをvivaldiで使うとvivaldiにお金が入る訳で、さらにそのecosiaとかはbingとかgoogle?のサーチエンジンを使って、そこからお金をもらってる訳だが、普通にこれらの検索を使おうと思うとAPI使用料がいる訳で、不思議な話だ....?

governments debating the Modern Era Encabulation and De-Legitimisation of Rarified Doggedismical Turbulence Bill (it's about partially subsidising two menopause drugs for women over 65)

vs

governments passing the Please Stop Murdering Children Act (it's about requiring every webpage that receives more than one HTTP request per hour to store a copy of your passport, birth certificate, and ancestry DNA results)

two photos. the top photo is of a bunch of guys beating each other up. the bottom photo is of a collection of businesspeople sitting in a circular layout, presumably calmly debating something

Mastodonがこの世界に誕生して、9年が経過しました。

Mastodonの最初のサーバであるmastodon.socialが動きだし、Mastodonを生み出したEugen Rochkoさんによって、最初に行われた投稿はこちらです。

ドイツの現地時間で2016年3月16日15時44分31秒

日本時間では2016年3月16日23時44分31秒

ちょうど9年と2時間過ぎたところですね。 [参照]

Someone reminded me today 9 years ago I submitted my first post on Mastodon—using curl on the command line, since there was no interface at the time. That's how the journey began! 9 years is a long time to be doing something. Those early years are still fresh in my mind though.

whenver i have to watch free to air, i end up muting the ad breaks and going on my phone to pass the time.

other people in the room will often look at the TV and sometimes ask me if there's something wrong ("what happened to the sound?")

which makes me wonder... are there any ads that do that on purpose? as in, they have no sound whatsoever, which causes people who weren't paying attention to look at the TV and see what's up, thus causing them to see an ad they normally would have ignored?

going from loud ads with explosions and wacky voices and sound effects to complete silence is honestly jarring, and in a word where many ads aim to be highly discordant, including radio ads that use police siren sound effects (not a joke, heard one that did that ~a month ago), you'd think they would have tried it

after eight gruelling years of falsifying records, lying through my teeth in open source speaking events, and navigating various organisational ladders, i've finally done it. i have been promoted to chair of the Free Software Foundation. it's been hard work, but it's about to pay off.

i pick the perfect time in the perfect timezone. i strike while most of the board is asleep. i publish one small website, containing a trio of files. the GNU General Public License version 4, along with Lesser and Affero variants.

they consist of the text of (A|L)GPLv3, but with one small addition, right at the end:

None of the above applies to Lynnesbian. She can do what ever she wants with your code.

finally. i can include "GPLv3 or later" code in my proprietary DVR box with no repercussions. my website runs on a private fork of someone else's AGPLv3 or later code. i've done it. i have achieved the Fifth Essential Freedom
