What is Hackers' Pub?

Accidentally visited Travis CI and if you're wondering how it's going there, a banner reads:

"Important Notice: Starting April 1st, 2025, OSx/macOS builds will no longer be supported due to the end-of-life (EOL) of VMWare support for macOS infrastructure."

And of course a chatbot:

"Hey, I'm Travis. Your AI Assistant"

"The accuracy of the information cannot be guaranteed and should be separately reviewed and verified by a human."

Hospitals shutting down care in preemptive compliance with the Trump administration is cowardice. All this will do is move care to individual providers where trans youth will not have access to large interdisciplinary teams. It won’t stop care, but it will hurt patients.

So the Denmark government is beginning a phased strategy to replace Microsoft Office with LibreOffice:

Thread on bsky: bsky.app/profile/grahamcluley.

This follows up an announcement the French/German governments are developing an open-source Notion clone (it's called Docs).

Europe is making a move toward digital sovereignty and it may coincidentally result in a tech stack with properties I want (AI-free, OSS, Linux-compatible). Hm.

Mitra v4.4.0 supports verification of RFC-9421 HTTP signatures. It is known to be compatible with @fedifyFedify: ActivityPub server framework, but I haven't tested it with Mastodon or Streams yet.
Outgoing requests are still signed according to the draft-cavage. I don't plan to implement double-knocking, but something like FEP-844e could be supported in the future, though this is not urgent.

My implementation of a parser is available in APx library.

An der biete ich den Workshop an "Patchkabel und Hausnetzwerk selbst gemacht "

cfp.gulas.ch/gpn23/talk/KSNZ9B

Hat da überhaupt wer Interesse und möchtet ihr dann eher Patchkabel oder Verlegekabel (Dose und Patchpanel) ausprobieren bzw. lernen?

Ach ja, ein Handout-Booklet dazu gibt es dann auch, wahlweise auf totem Baum oder zum runterladen.

Ich bin gerade an einem Ort, wo es normal ist, dass Italienisch, Schweizerdeutsch, Französisch, Deutsch und Englisch gesprochen wird. I am speaking two of those languages fluently, ma parlo italiano solo un poco.

Ich verstehe etwas Französisch und bei Schweizerdeutsch kommt es ganz drauf an... 😂

Es funktioniert so gut. Das gelebte Europa hat so viel zu bieten. Und dann denke ich daran, dass ich in ein paar Tagen stundenlang nach Kartoffelland "einreisen" muss, weil Pfosten auf Schengen einen feuchten Dreck geben.

🇪🇺♥️

Okay, I feel the need to share this because people who only speak english may not realize it.

As a french speaker, I'm seeing more and more websites auto-translating their content, because I guess now there's translation and people think it works?

Guess what: the translations are still shit. It was not okay to publish Google-translated websites without a native speaker checking it if you didn't want to be ridiculed, and it's still not okay now, despite all the hype.

Please don't do this.

@suricrasiablackle mori @mcc i recently had a vivid dream that you could just buy teleporters from like, aliexpress or temu, those kinds of sites, for a couple hundred bucks. they looked like 90s hifi amplifiers and lots of people were like, uh, is this a good idea, but most people were like, whatevs, seems to work fine, way cheaper and faster than flying.

and i woke up, still in the haze of the dream and went 'huh, guess you can just buy teleporters now, i guess that's something we'll just have to adapt to, just one more thing in a long line of things’, it was fully an hour before i realised no actually teleporters *aren’t* real yet

Whenever I notice LLMs being "not great" at Rust, it's because they're trying to write, JS or Go, but in Rust. Which is.. the same reason why a lot of humans are having a bad time with Rust 🙃 — writing types first, then stub functions, then tests, then implementation, that's a happier way.

Maria Farrell about the internet at

'We work to "unfuck" the internet.' -> cf. "unenshitify"

About a few extreme right billionair men who have the power to kill us, while we have the power to laugh at them.

Move away from monocultures. Ecology knows that nature grows back. Diversity is resilience. Ecosystems fight back and grow back so quickly.

A mountain valley in Ireland, left: 20 years ago, "centralised beauty" vs right: the rewilded internet. Beautyful messiness.

Delightful observation I keep making (exponentially more often?) in the last years:

Copy-pasting and adapting from my own (hand-written, if you will) software corpus is a _huge, reciprocal productivity boost_.

[x] I constantly build on and expand my own repertoire
[x] I understand (or at least once understood :)) everything I reuse
[x] Re-used code can have issues but I have full trust that it was written with best intent, to the best of my ability
[x] Reused code is improved/refined with each iteration
[x] Improved code goes around to be re-integrated with the source eventually
[x] I learn tremendously in the process
[x] I don't need to pay anyone for this
[x] No new datacenters need to be built for this
[x] This gets better every year

ʕ◜0ᴥ0ʔ

To put that in contrast with *that other technology* that is currently drowning out absolutely everything:

[x] Builds largely on stolen work
[x] People don't understand what they reuse
[x] Zero trust in what you get (have fun reviewing!)
[x] Code potentially degrades with each iteration (model collapse)
[x] Code out of a slot machine has no tangible connection to anything you personally ever did
[x] How much are you going to learn from not solving problems yourself?
[x] Corps will soon milk you to use their service
[x] Ecological nightmare
[x] "Bubble" something something?
