What is Hackers' Pub?

Signal provides:

- Excellent protection against third party interception of communications (wiretapping).

- Limited protection against compromised (hacked) or lost devices

- No protection against certain common usage mistakes (accidentally including a reporter in your large group war planning chat).

We have been experiencing an attack for the past 2 days, which has been causing some 429 issues for some users. This is faking normal browser User-Agents, which is making it hard to block without also causing some captchas and rate limits for users. We're working to resolve it.

30 years of craigslist, or, how did that happen?

Okay, I'm not even sure when I sent out the first email, since I never had any idea that my little effort would go anywhere.

Seems like a good idea to do now, as I'm in my sunset years, focused on geriatric matters including moisturizer and prunes.

The (short) video here is my best take at early history, setting the record straight, since there's a lot of misinformation out there.

Please humor me and take a look!

「Alpha 小隊進入第 34 信號塔空域，開始搜索反抗軍活動跡象」
隨著轟鳴的氣流聲，五架宛如四軸旋翼機一般靈活的靈能戰鬥機，從低空以人字型編隊呼嘯而過。

「各小隊員報告情況」領頭機的短髮女性駕駛員向著僚機下達命令。

「二號無異狀」
「三號無異狀」
「四號無⋯」

此時所有戰機的艙內突然警報大作。

「五號右翼不明武器升空，該死，怎麼可能？為什麼反抗軍手上會有破壞者防空詭雷？」

只見編隊不遠處有一顆灰色海膽狀的物體從地面噴射而起。

「三號、五號，冷靜下來！快集中精神演化靈能飛彈進行反擊」隊長在通訊頻道中低喝著。

編隊右方兩台戰機的武器艙發射出數枚帶著藍色尾焰的微型靈能飛彈，但此時前方防空詭雷的針刺全數脫落噴射而出，成為數十枚致命的防空飛彈朝他們而來。

稀稀落落的靈能飛彈提前引爆，炸出一片威力驚人的藍色火焰牆，試圖要攔截針刺飛彈的攻擊，但依舊有約十枚飛彈穿過了彈幕繼續迫近。

tonight's #pixelfont recreation: steve marsden/david cooke/hewson consultants' "technician ted" (aka "the chip factory: featuring technician ted", 1984) on the #amstrad and #spectrum https://www.splintered.co.uk/experiments/1551 #pixelart #retro

In slightly more retro repair news, I started troubleshooting another green screen #Amiga500. I got as far as seeing some messed up data lines on the oscilloscope. I suspected the RAM or the Agnus, pulled the Agnus, broke off one of the pins. Need to source a new 8371 now. Dang. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

trying to make a list of programs that create a pseudoterminal to do something cool, so far I have:

- asciinema (to record your session)
- unbuffer (to "trick" any application into think it's writing to a TTY)
- tmux/screen/sshd/tmate
- terminal "servers" that you can use to have a terminal in a web browser

what else? I know there's `script` but I've never actually been able to find a practical use for script that I understood

@blindcoderBenjamin thank you!

Wrote about my illness. https://72.peteashton.com/the-state-of-pete/

This took me a couple of weeks to write and is partly in lieu of me being able to stay in touch with a number of friends and family. Chronic fatigue is a fucking arse, but I'm slowly learning how to manage it.

嗨所有使用 Windows 的大家，有個東西需要測試：

1. 下載 a 版：https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/jobs/9504161601/artifacts/browse/build/ 裡面的檔案並解壓縮（有兩層），執行裡面的「Run Inkscape !.bat」
2. 下載 b 版： https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/jobs/9505088400/artifacts/browse/build/ 裡面的檔案並解壓縮（有兩層），執行裡面的「Run Inkscape !.bat」
3. 紀錄兩者感覺起來的啟動速度差異

再回覆我比較快的是 a 版還是 b 版，還有快了多少！我們正在測試把 UI 敘述檔跟擴充功能編譯成物件會不會影響啟動速度

I need someone who already has an account on https://git.lix.systems/ to file a bug report for me. I have repeatedly tried to create an account and the email confirmation email just never shows up.

I would also accept "manual creation of a non-github-based account" for me (as per the FAQ). No, I can't use Matrix to ask for one. I don't want to talk about that.

hey fedi, do you know how to make soup

You can use "whereis" to search standard binary, manual page and source
directories for the specified programs. This can be particularly handy
when you are trying to find where in the ports tree an application is.

Try "whereis firefox" and "whereis whereis".

I've noticed something that I think is worth pointing out: pretty much ALL of the pushback I have gotten on LinkedIn over the past few months over stories critical of this administration has come from men in IT. Many of whom no doubt idolize Musk, who in their minds can walk on water.

Conversely, the response almost universally I've seen from female non/male people in IT and security professionals on LinkedIn has been a great deal more appropriate, i.e. horror, disgust and revulsion for the way this administration is treating federal employees, veterans, the courts, judges, lawyers, journalists, and important, long-standing U.S. policy interests.

I guess what I'm saying is nobody should expect the men in IT to lead the resistance. So many of them are like this guy: angry, aggressive, and really excited about the good old US of A going back to the 80s. Like the 1880s.

@rawrmonstarTegan yeah that's a bit too much. The kid is 7, and will just want to send lots of emoji 😅

What is just breathtaking about the signal war plans story is that they *could* have done this for years with nobody knowing. It’s a real risk, one that could have of course resulted in adversaries intercepting the US’s secret information. But they can’t stop being *flagrant* incompetent fuckups for even a few seconds, making the worst mistake possible (including an editor of a major publication!) almost immediately. Truly they are a towering, living monument to dysfunction.

Now let's talk about what we can all do to help in this moment.

I for one want to be able to tell my kids what I did.

The options are vast and run the gamut from phone calls to political volunteering to protest.

Let's start with how we think about elected representatives.

Over at https://indivisible.org/resource/guide, look at Chapter 2: A Quick Primer on Constituent Power. It notes that reps pay a lot of attention to local press, tally phone calls, etc.

Is there a handy IM I can install on Android that doesn't need a unique phone number during setup?

I want to put an IM on the phone that my eldest sometimes is allowed to use, so they can leave me messages, I think they'd be amused by it. But the phone doesn't have its own SIM or number.

(We still very much have control over this phone - if messages are sent to or come from others, I will be able to see them etc.)

Nope. Brain broken now. Can't brain. But it's cool, because it is literally impossible to be as bad at my job as *texting military plans to the editor of a major magazine* https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/trump-administration-accidentally-texted-me-its-war-plans/682151/?gift=kPTlqn0J1iP9IBZcsdI5IVJpB2t9BYyxpzU4sooa69M&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share

저는 여러분들이 왜 국내 게임사에 부정적인 의견을 갖고 계신지 알고 있습니다. 하지만, 아직 개발중인 게임에 사실이 아닌 내용들을 퍼뜨리지 말아주시길 간곡히 부탁드립니다. 성소수자이자, 국내 게임 산업 종사자를 꿈꾸는 저로서는 단순 '한국'기업이기에 다양성을 챙기지 않을 거란 말들이 다소 속상하네요.

Wins of the Resistance is BACK!

Trump is not invincible.

The fight is difficult. Some battles we will lose. But - we can win, have already won, and will still win!

The key is realizing it. If we believe they are invincible, they will be. If we believe we can defeat them, we will.

Millions of people taking simple action will change the world.

I want to chronicle the wins that are happening and what we can do to make things better. Let's begin!

The Trump admin uses Signal to coordinate military operations... and somebody in the Signal group added a member of the press into the group about which targets to bomb in error, and didn't notice. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/trump-administration-accidentally-texted-me-its-war-plans/682151/
