What is Hackers' Pub?

Happy Trans Day of Visibility 2025!  Stay loud and proud.

In case you were wondering what kind of story would lead me to say "I'm going to need a moment to come up with something more printable than 'fuck no,'" it is this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/04/01/waltz-national-security-council-signal-gmail/

チェンソーマンの人（マジで名前を思い出せないのだが検索する手間をかけるほどでも無いと思うので）もそうなんだけど、「読者と同じ範囲と深度しかない知識で描いちゃってる」んだと思うんですよねー(;´Д`)>BT
小説にせよマンガにせよ、「何を描かないか」は「何を描くか」と同じくらいに大切なので、「単に知らないから描かない」という最悪のやり方ばっかりが蔓延ってるのが今のニッポンオタクの現状だと思うんすよ。
「何を描かないか」をきちんと考えてれば「何を描くか」と同じように「何故描かないか（描くか）」が自然と示唆されるもんです。

Thanks to a wonderful effort by @fredldotmeDon Fredl's Circus, DeltaTouch is now available as a snap 🎉

$ sudo snap install deltatouch
$ sudo snap connect deltatouch:lomiri-ui-toolkit lomiri-ui-toolkit-core24

If you want the app to access cam and mic, connect the interfaces:

$ sudo snap connect deltatouch:camera
$ sudo snap connect deltatouch:audio-record

Many thanks Alfred!

Slackさんtodayじゃなくて日付を教えてくれんか…

We have one week to RSVP to a party in Stockholm in late May.

If we make the trip to Europe, what @astro shenanigans can we get up to while we're there? Who's got my back, and will be my excuse to say yes to the dress??

Do you want to talk about our lord and savior #nixos ?

Wtf is this bloody procrastination game where I only get off my arse and do the thing I need to do if I happen to notice the time when it's at a round number?

"Ah it's 10:08, bang goes my idea to get started at 10:00, guess I'll start at 10:15 instead."

FAILS 2-7. LFG California! 🎉🏳️‍⚧️ Fuck terfs. Fuck transphobes. Fuck Gavin Newsom. Protect trans kids

Organizers Log:

An update about the Fediverse Conference in Canada (FediCon) on August 1st & Saturday August 2nd I have been organizing.

I have paid the deposit to reserve the room chosen for the conference.

I also signed the contract for it.

The next thing I need to deal with is — catering, audio & visual requirements, room set up.

These will be additional costs.

(There are more things to do after those. But, that is what is next.)

small Nix tool I wrote tonight: nix-binary-cache-gc

https://codeberg.org/cyclopentane/nix-binary-cache-gc

Essentially it's a garbage collector for static binary caches (i.e. directories that statically contain .narinfo and .nar files and that are served by a regular webserver). It's dependency-aware, and uses the #tvix / #snix crates.

(Previously I just deleted all files older than a certain amount of days with find and rm, but that tore up the dependency graphs on the cache and regularly caused errors)

We just released version 5.6.0 of the #ActivityPub plugin for #WordPress

https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/

Some features:

* A Mastodon import (beta)
* Improvements to the Welcome-Page
* Basic Move functionality
* A bunch of Outbox improvements
* A ton of smaller changes and fixes

thanks a lot to @obenlandKonstantin Obenland’s , @mattwiebe and all other contributors!

Found a place down the road that will make me a one off LP vinyl for about £10.

Feel like I should create something to put on it. Shame there are only 24 hours in a day.

@davatron5000Dave Rupert @zachleatZach Leatherman One issue: in the comments of the issue it was brought up that the feature will violate w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#resize-text — and I don't think there is any world where this issue can be implemented in a way it would not, with the way the SC is written right now. I am not sure if we can do anything about it aside from somehow changing the SC in the future. If you have any thoughts about this, I'll be happy to hear them :)

Trans Woman Arrested, Sent to ...

whenever something is written in red text now I just assume it’s transphobic

Realizing I now have a visceral, primordial-level negative reaction to "app" before even the next word in the sentence.

Based on the replies received, it does sound like at present that if cross-posting is a consideration, it is something done locally, and not something that is explicitly declared when federating outward or retrieved via AP.

There are also multiple definitions of cross-posting:

1. Multiple, disparate topics sharing the same attachment url (PieFed)
2. Author targeting multiple audiences
3. Non-author sharing object to additional audiences

One of those is really not like the other, which does complicate things somewhat. Thankfully, it does seem like that the way PieFed handles it, is local to the instance.

A good first step might be to narrow down the definition of cross-posting—at least from a protocol level—to a combination of the latter two:

"A user (which may or may not be the object author) sharing an object to additional audiences"

Of course, this also happens to be what I'm looking for: the association of an as:announce activity with an as:target pointing to an as:Group actor.

Would this be of interest to anybody here? The fallback mechanism is to just treat the announce as usual.

Within the context of threaded discussions, contexts (aka "topics", "posts", "threads", etc.) are associated with an audience (aka "forum", "category", "community", etc.).

What happens currently when a context is moved from one audience to another? How does ActivityPub enabled software communicate this?

I recently moved this topic from one category to another, and in doing so, realized that I have absolutely no idea what happens to the group association as seen by other software.

@rimu@piefed.social also said in the other thread:

Also moving what NodeBB calls a topic (a post in Lemmy/PieFed) from what NodeBB calls a category (community in Lemmy/PieFed) into a different category (without spawning a new topic or leaving the old copy behind) is much needed but not implemented in Lemmy/PieFed/Mbin.

One solution would be to federate an Update activity, though this is problematic because audience, the relevant field in question, is on its way out.

Another solution would involve the Move activity, which would be an explicit signal that something moved somewhere. In this case, the Move would indicate the context moved to the new audience, or in AP software that have not implemented FEP 7888, then the top-level object will have moved to the new audience.

Anyone else going to be at NAB this year? This'll be my first time.

Besides trying to spot every time server with a < 1 ppm oscillator on the show floor, what should I look for?

….MATH, people, MATH. With THAC0 you had to do actual math every time you took a swing at Ettin or something and every time they swung back at you. No more. Now it’s de-mathed. It’s making our children and odd adults stupider. Now, let me move on to Blibdoolpoolp: hot or not?
