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.

Politics has been on my mind so very much over the last while. Yes, yours too, I would imagine. For obvious reasons.

But if my commentary, boosts, and so on have caused you any additional stress, I apologize.

Please remember to take care of yourself, and anyone else you have bandwidth for. If that includes unfollowing or muting me for a while, I won't take offense. I'm also going to try to keep my eyes open for nicer things to boost when I can.

Hang in there. From here or there, with this party or that, even whether you're nice or mean--as human beings, we're all in this together. Let's all try to be better tomorrow than we were today. As brothers and sisters and nonbinary-existers, I love you. Be well.

PINNED POST:
- The basis of my internet identity is fannish. if you're considering following me for something else, you're welcome as long as you don't mind weird fanfiction content too.
- Musician + mature student studying engineering, posting about it very unprofessionally.
- I like rabbits.

One of the classic videos inside Google was "I just want to serve 5 terabytes of data", satirizing the complexity of doing anything at Google scale. The video features animated characters Panda Woman (trying to serve data) and Broccoli Man (presenting more and more obstacles). I was reminded of this video because I'm at the Phoenix airport and I'm sure that the synthesized announcement voice here is the same as Broccoli Man. I keep expecting an announcement of "Five terabytes is so little that I've forgotten how to count that low."

fedi meta, lolisho

This might paint a big fat target on my back and sever connections (though i’ve occasionally talked about this here and nothing has really happened) but i figured it’s good to make my stances clear here as it could also make some feel safer around me.

Someone on Mastodon Network posted this:

If you are a self-proclaimed lolicon, if you enjoy sexualized artwork of characters who are minors, you are not welcome here. Please unfollow me immediately, and do not return.

And while i am none of these things, i have always strongly believed that there’s no such thing as “problematic art” that those who are anywhere near should be deleted from society - because those are my views of freedom. Learning in some recent years that actual victims of CSA find comfort in lolisho only solidifies those views further.

If you agree with what i quoted here, i would ask you to reconsider, otherwise you might be covered by the “bigots are not wellcome here” clause of my bio as you make some feel unsafe and discriminate them on the basis of them being “weird”. Block me, mute, unfollow, whatever. It’s fine if you want to stay far away from lolisho because it makes you uncomfortable but if you think those who engage with it are evil and should perish you should stay away from me please n thank you .

On the other hand, lolicons (be it CSA survivors coping with trauma, or ones with paraphilias using fiction as a safe harmless outlet, or those who like it just because) and otherwise “problematic” people or entities are welcome on this profile.

My brain feels like tapioca. I hate being sick. Negative for covid (so far), but given the season it could be anything. I feel like I’ve been getting sick a lot more over the past year.
