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.

Really excited to share this image for today. I took this image on my first ever trip to last year. We ventured to the in Northern Italy for some hiking where we were greeted with freshly snow capped mountains. It made for an incredible welcome to our trip to this area.

This image has become one of my favorites from the trip. Hopefully I will return someday.

An image of towering mountains from the North Italian Dolomites. The snow covered peaks surround a large cirque like a crown. Blue sky and some light greens from the forest below add color. And heavy clouds sweep into the valley from the sides of the image

Dass die Union kein Bock auf ein AfD-Verbotsverfahren hat, ist gar nicht so überraschend, wenn man bedenkt, dass deren Forderungen, die dann dort auf ihre Vereinbarkeit mit dem Grundgesetz hin untersucht würden, zu einem großen Teil auch von ihr selbst kommen könnten.

@stefanoStefano Marinelli Hi Stefano, quick note about this blog post

https://it-notes.dragas.net/2023/12/13/how-to-create-a-freebsd-jail-hosting-xrdp-and-xfce-remote-access-desktop/

If you also install pulseaudio-module-xrdp package audio will work over the xrdp without requiring any additional configuration or services enabled, etc. Even if the hardware has no audio devices. It just works.

You know what I love about the Fediverse?

I don't feel compelled to follow everyone I interact with. My "algorithm" is the timeline I have made for myself, as contributed to by the people I have chosen to follow.

Many interactions are just two ships passing in the night, and that is it. Sometimes, we pass again and I choose to follow. Sometimes, I don't.

But it's not like I have lost all chance to ever see this person again. The algorithm of commercial platforms emphasizes following all interactions, no matter how ephemeral. Because anyone you don't explicitly follow may be lost forever in the soup of populist commercialization.

Hello Fedi, I'm kzimmermann, and now it's no secret that I just moved here from .

Perhaps my reasons for doing so were not clear. Yes, everyone had a personal reason, but I think mine were a little different, as I had been planning this move for a few months now.

I tried to summarize them here, but ended up writing something of a novel instead. Oh well. Here it goes:

kzimmermann.0x.no/articles/mov

Mirror for those without IPv6: tilde.town/~kzimmermann/articl

Copying my bio information:

I'm an amateur hacker who works towards the advancement free software. Advocates for privacy and user freedom. Enjoyer of casual FOSS Gameplay. Historically, a fedizen since 2015.

I have a backup blog (in tilde.town) and a Peertube channel for those who like bad FOSS gameplay.

Please boost this so people get the news of my new home!

HN bullshit

Orange website commenters when presented with the intricacies of a new to them engineering domain: Where's the LLM integration so I can do it too?!

On when to use coordinates and other concrete constructions in mathematics, and when to use coordinate-free formulations and abstractions:

1. If your priority is to perform computations in mathematics, use coordinates and concrete constructions.
2. If your priority is to generalize to as broad a range of use cases as possible, use coordinate-free formulations and abstractions.
3. If your priority is to actually understand what is going on behind the mathematical formalism, learn how the coordinate-based and coordinate-free approaches are equivalent.

EDIT: in order to illustrate this point, let me give the concrete example that motivated this abstract statement. In my analysis class today I gave two proofs of Plancherel's theorem on compact abelian groups. The first approach used the Stone-Weierstrass theorem to reduce to showing that multiplicative characters separated points, and then for groups written explicitly in coordinates such as products of cyclic groups, or tori, one explicitly wrote down enough characters to separate points. This is a quick proof but relies on coordinates. Then I gave the coordinate free proof in which one simultaneously diagonalized convolution operators to obtain an eigenbasis of characters. This is more advanced (it requires the spectral theorem for compact operators) but has the advantage of generalization, for instance to the Peter-Weyl theorem for compact nonabelian groups.

Though even the concrete proof involved one abstraction step: in order for the Stone-Weierstrass theorem to be useful, it had to be abstracted from the more concrete Weierstrass approximation theorem, which only applied to polynomials, and not to trigonometric polynomials.

I was asked by a 20 year younger friend how my internet was back then. I needed a moment but then I told her the story of an IRC channel and how we made the day for a young girl who happened to be on our IRC channel. Because this is what my internet was like back then and I wish sometimes it still was like this. Let me tell the story:

I was 25, the channel members were like 20 to 30 years old. Somehow this young girl found her way to us. She was 14 when she joined the channel. >>

Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

Check out the End of 10 initiative to learn more! If you know anyone else who might find this useful, share it with them!
