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.

#PSA: things that are still broken in #KDE #Plasma #Wayland session (minor) as of 6.3.4

  • Windowshade only works with X11 windows
  • No compatibility with wtype, and ydotool doesn't handle Unicode (or at least, not emoji) (So, now way to inject text into the active window, like for an emoji picker)
  • No way (that I've found so far) to get the title/name of the active window
    • Correction: this is doable with kdotool: kdotool getwindowname $(kdotool getactivewindow)

That's it so far. I'll add to this if I find/remember anything else.

One more thing I've just observed: the mouse cursor doesn't disappear in LibreOffice Calc when just moving the selection cursor with the arrow keys. It does disappear (as I have specified in settings) when you actually type something in, though.

Got my hair cut for the first time in probably a year because I have an interview tomorrow for a job I really want to get (and think I have a pretty good shot at).

It looks decent, but has revealed a good deal more grey than I'm accustomed to seeing.

The new Naked Gun trailer looks like it might be OK, but I'm concerned by the blood spatter when Liam Neeson is beating up the bank robber. Naked Gun is cartoonish. You don't need blood spatter, you need comical sound effects.

語言學其實蠻有趣的,
一個詞彙在不同語言可能本身就帶有一些特殊的語感,這是翻譯也很難翻出來的。

例如computer原本是指從事計算工作的人,在類比計算器剛發明時還要用electric computer去跟表示職業的computer做區分。而現在computer這個詞在英文語感裡只有計算、運算,浪漫點頂多帶點思考的成分。然而在中文界翻譯的「電腦」,多了一層「以電氣運作的賽博腦袋」的語感,其實這個譯詞以現在的標準來看也是不可思議的前衛與先進。

Hackers' Pub에도 팀 계정 같은 걸 만들어야 하나 싶은 생각이 가끔 드는데… 이를테면 현재로서는 Hackers' Pub 공식 계정을 깔끔하게 만들 방법이 떠오르지 않는다. 안 쓰는 메일 주소로 새 계정을 파는 식으로 해야 하는데, 별로 그런 식으로 풀고 싶지가 않다.

Looked up how journalists publish a correction because I think I have a few self-corrections I want to put out. Interesting, the world of journalism & publication :)

I've been reflecting lately on projects like @fedifyFedify: an ActivityPub server framework, @holloHollo :hollo:, and @botkitBotKit by Fedify :botkit:. Sometimes I wonder if I'm solving problems that very few people actually need solved. How many developers truly want to build their own server from scratch?

It feels a bit like inventing shoes that let people walk on their hands all day. Would there be a viable market? How many would actually buy them?

That's the sense I get with these projects. They do have users who find them tremendously valuable, but the total user base is inherently limited. The tools serve an important function for a small audience of specialized developers.

There are moments when my motivation wavers. When the user community consists of just a handful of enthusiastic supporters, it's sometimes difficult to maintain momentum and justify the ongoing investment of time and energy.

And yet, there's something meaningful about creating specialized tools that solve complex problems well, even if they're only used by a few. Perhaps that's enough.

A lot of Fediverse software has a HEALTH-CHECK URL.

But not all Fediverse does.

It would be better if ALL Fediverse software had a HEALTH-CHECK URL.

...

A HEALTH-CHECK URL is a special URL that tell others if the system is running properly.

It would return "200 OK" if everything is fine. And return "500 Internal Server Error" if there is a problem

...

A HEALTH-CHECK URL is important to those who actual run and administrate Fediverse servers
