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.
I just discovered why some of my followers from larger #Mastodon instances (like mastodon.social) would mysteriously unfollow me after a while!
Turns out Mastodon implements the FEP-8fcf specification (Followers collection synchronization across servers), but it expected all followers to be in a single page collection. When followers were split across multiple pages, it would only see the first page and incorrectly remove all followers from subsequent pages!
This explains so much about the strange behavior I've been seeing with #Hollo and other #Fedify-based servers over the past few months. Some people would follow me from large instances, then mysteriously unfollow later without any action on their part.
Thankfully this fix has been marked for backporting, so it should appear in an upcoming patch release rather than waiting for the next major version. Great news for all of us building on #ActivityPub!
This is why I love open source—we can identify, understand, and fix these kinds of interoperability issues together. 😊
A reminder, the Fediverse cost money.
Yes, it is free for YOU to use, but your local administrator pays for domain registration, web hosting, storage space, CDN, and of course, bandwidth.
The busier and more active your Fedi site, the most it cost.
If you are able, consider reaching out to your admin, and asking how you can help. Even small contributions add up and make a difference.

You *should* be very careful which #Nix substituters (caches) you trust since you have to trust who can push to them. Effectively you are trusting them with root on your machine.
You *should* be wary of “community” caches if you don’t want to have to vet who has access there.
You *should* build things from source yourself if you do not wish to trust the #NixOS build farm and Hydra infrastructure (or to lessen the load on their CDN)
What you should ABSOLUTELY NOT do is trust some random VC backed company (which may or may not have a business relationship with military-industrial-complex contractors) over the actual NixOS project which stewards the actual sources you trust to be secure in the first place

🚀 GNOME 48 is on its way to Fedora 42 and Ubuntu 25.04!
But why wait? If you’re as excited as we are, you can try it out right now in a virtual machine with GNOME OS!

The "federated" service that isn't federated. Which is owned by one company. 🤔 (I know folks like it, hi all of you through the bridge... but it is not owned by the people, it is owned by one single company).
Here's an interesting question: Have you noticed people using idioms less often?
Someone told me they've heard older people bemoaning the disappearance of idioms from daily language.
It's not something I've noticed. Have you?

Today is the 30th anniversary of the launch of the first wiki by Ward Cunningham. A page that anyone could edit. Right from the browser. It was generally seen as a bad idea. What if people did bad things?
Originally to support the software development community in creating a repository of software design patterns, wikis were later used for many other goals (even an encyclopedia!), and became part of Web 2.0, together with blogs, fora and social media.
Thank you, Ward!
wow, even getting spam DMs here on Mastodon now… DMs sharing ASL for no reason, def not suspicious

@samueldr I suppose you mean "nix drama" sarcastically? This is DetSys drama. Nothing more, nothing less.
