What is Hackers' Pub?

hey #berlin are you a cool hacker person who could help us pick a simple mailbox lock?

our collective cannot get to our own mail right now because someone kindly replaced our lock but also didn't give us the key 🤣

we even have a new replacement lock to go in there! i think in the right hands this would take all of 30 seconds to do. let me know

I wonder how close Tumblr is to that ActivityPub support

Once again feeling frustration about a smol thing in Firefox caused by me failing to check one little setting or port one little about: flag between my desktop and laptop

Firefox would be a lot more bearable if I had access to the settings syncing, except
- I don't want to use any Firefox connected services, and
- Although you *can* self-host the profile sync, there's no documentation for self-hosting the account server, and an account server is required to use the profile sync, so it's useless

Hi everyone! Time for a Bridgy Fed status update. We have a lot of new features and bug fixes to announce since the last time, so here we go!

• Added a web-based UI for enabling and configuring the bridge for your accounts.
• Added support for fediverse split domain mode, ie when your webfinger address and server are on different domains
• We now fully support Bluesky custom handle changes and propagate them to bridged accounts
• Fediverse instance admins can now automatically enable the bridge for their users and automatically give them custom Bluesky handles
• Redesigned our Bluesky firehose server, which has significantly improved its reliability and reduced delays in both directions
• Implemented ATProto sync v1.1. This isn’t a user-visible change, but it’s an important part of reducing the cost of running an ATProto relay
• Implemented pinned posts for fediverse => Bluesky
• Detect videos that are too long for Bluesky and link to them instead of including them as broken video embeds (thank you @Daft-Freak!)
• Improved our compatibility with Mastodon profile updates
• Improved our handling of HTML in web link previews
• Made DMs smarter about understanding handle formats and encodings
• Started using an image proxy for Threads, to work around its image URLs expiring
• Bug fix for images that are reused across fediverse posts and drafts
• Link to audio attachments instead of ignoring them (thank you @Daft-Freak!)
• Improve fediverse instances’ hashtag handling so that they open inside the local instance
• Added “Open in Mastodon” support for user pages on fed.brid.gy
• Improved our nodeinfo support for Friendica
• Handle fediverse posts with over 8 hashtags
• Fediverse => Bluesky: fix text formatting for posts with < and > characters
• Bluesky => fediverse: add support for “out-of-line” hashtags
• Make our fediverse posts more translate-able
• When a user tries to enable the bridge but isn’t eligible, DM them an explanation
• Don’t apply spam filters to users who aren’t bridged and follow a bridged user
• Improved our deploy process so that it no longer causes delays temporarily

As usual, feel free to ping us with feedback, questions, and bug reports, and please support us on Patreon! You can follow the now label on GitHub to see what we’re currently focusing on. See you on the bridge!

While I understand and on some level commend Apple's dedication to requiring "apps" to keep current with platform technology (it's irresponsible to connect stuff to a network that doesn't have active security support), this is a good reminder that you should never buy games that you might care about from Apple because they all stop working eventually, with no compatibility layer, emulator, or shim that will help you get them running again https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/06/apple-details-the-end-of-intel-mac-support-and-a-phaseout-for-rosetta-2/

Dear Fedi friends,

By now you might have seen the post announcing the release of my promotional video for the Fediverse. But in case you have boosts turned off, here we go: https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/

I posted about it this morning from my #GoToSocial account because I have a 5000 character limit there. And I had so many people to thank for their help. It really takes a village.

Thank you for all the wonderful feedback so far ❤️

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:mwfuydik5635s6did55pikiv/post/3lr7423tmpk2l

My brain is working completely fine today and I'm feeling very normal which is why I'm just cycling and cycling and cycling on the comparable magnitudes of infinities.

There are infinite even numbers, odd numbers, and integers. The even number and odd numbers are the same size, but the integers are larger. Counting numbers (positive integers) and odd numbers are the same size. Fractions are way larger than integers — they have a whole extra dimension! But all those collections of numbers are the smaller size of infinities: the countable ones.

The real numbers are uncountable, and so much bigger than any of those, even the multidimensional fractions, despite being all on a line. But the complex numbers are also uncountable, but with a whole dimension beyond the real numbers.

What a weird concept! (And this is just a concept, numbers aren't real. They are useful, though.) Numbers are nowhere near as weird as brains are, except Banach-Tarski, which calls into question the whole idea that numbers are useful for determining how much of something there is.

And I know someone got excited when I started talking about infinities and was waiting for it so here you go: "biject". You're welcome.

Oh My God the lag on this is crazy

DW's Berlin Briefing today claims:

> An additional working day would increase the gross domestic product by up to €8.6 billion ($9.8 bn).

Yet, as far as I know, research has also proven that a four day working week actually increases productivity.

So that's fun.

とても当たり前のことを言うけど、今37歳の人は2021年に33歳、2013年には25歳で、そこから2年前には大学卒業で東日本大震災の年だったのか。
37歳っていうと結構隔りがあるようにも感じるけど思った程でもないというか、感覚上の時間の流れに、数年前と10-20年前を断片的に認識しようとしたときとまとめて認識した時にかなり誤差があるとは度々感じる。
