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.

Hello :ablobwave:!

I'm Kestral, a writer, nerd, and technoculturalist currently living in the UK. I am non-binary and use they/them pronouns. :nonbinary: :sq_they_them:

There are loads of words used to describe how I spend my time, like "generalist" and "portfolio career" and "can't decide what they want to be when they grow up."

I prefer the latter.

Re-introducing myself here as part of the great hackers.town migration of 2025.

Hack the fucking planet.

:hackers_town:

does anyone know if there's a way to search a man page for a specific flag? whenever I search for “ -C" I always end up finding a bunch of other mentions of the flag instead of the flag's documentation itself

the only thing I know is to add a bunch of spaces before the -C

Okay this has provoked a lot of tributary conversations which are giving me an hypothesis.

For the purposes of this poll, typing “fast” means reliably more than 100 words per minute, and “liking” LLMs means that you personally interact with and use their output voluntarily, even if you maybe still have a lot of reservations about the ethics or safety of doing so.

@stefanoStefano Marinelli HA - of course - if you slect y after init (BTW - default is N).
But as always - I don’t like modify the code in place - so I select no and in next stages try to provide local config as you presented in Getting started - and this way doesn’t work (don’t recognise config option).
Assuming that I have 2 or more different sites to prepare - I event don’t want to setup any defaults.

I should suck it up and learn to program properly in TypeScript. There's a growing list of software that I'd like to use and extend that uses TypeScript (Obsidian, Lume, Fedify), not to mention its utility for web programming. The language itself is pretty good, though I'm not thrilled by a lot of the tooling and ecosystem around it. Hopefully there's a way of writing usable code in it that keeps the messiness at bay.

Die "LGBT-freien Zonen" in Polen sind endgültig Geschichte.
Heute hat der Łańcucki-Landkreis als letzte Gebietseinheit einen entsprechenden diskriminierenden queerfeindlichen Beschluss aufgehoben.

推測に過ぎないんだけど、たぶんモデレーションをがっつりやりたいのかな、って雰囲気を感ずる。で、力が及ばない言語についてはsuspendedにしてるのかな、と<mastodon. green
ただ結果としてゼノフォビアと同様の挙動になっちゃってるのが何とも難しいところよね。

uspol, depictions of violence

Macklemore - fucked up

yt is hindering access to this momentous work of art and ofc collects data on anyone who views it there
not even newpipe or invidious are able to circumvent it
feel free to not only boost, but also repost on your own instance
the more the merrier the redundancy

ActivityPub 5.8.0 for WordPress is out now! 🎉

This update includes two things I’ve been especially excited about: new email templates and user-specific notification settings.

Emails now have way more information—mentions and direct messages embed the full post, and the refreshed design looks more modern and polished. New follower emails come with a profile card to help you get a sense of who’s engaging with your content.

👉 Full changelog: wordpress.org/plugins/activity
