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.

Help request. My brother has Stage 4 colorectal cancer.

His life insurance has refused to pay out on a technicality, meaning he and his loved ones cannot afford the mortgage on their home.

I've never asked for anything in return for infosec stuff, but if you have anything spare, please chuck it this direction instead:

@Ben Pate 🤘🏻 In the words of a diaspora* developer, if Mozilla and Vivaldi "implemented ActivityPub", they'd actually "implement Mastodon". That'd mean catching more users with less effort than implementing vanilla ActivityPub and implementing features that Mastodon doesn't have. Besides, both used to have or still have a Mastodon server, but they don't seem to be aware that there's a Fediverse beyond Mastodon, much less what it's like and how it works.

In fact, they wouldn't even implement the ActivityPub C2S API at all. They'd implement the Mastodon client API and only the Mastodon client API.

Yeah, probably, maybe, possibly, idk. It’s all speculation in the absence of a C2S API that developers want to use. I don’t think I could say what any browser maker might do.. esp if they see AP as a threat to their moats.

I want to focus on what WE can do right now. Move the ecosystem forward. Maybe in a few years the W3C will catch up C2S and we can all build to that, too.

But we can’t wait for that before we fix the UX that Tim laid out.

HEXACO 성격검사를 해봤는데 뭔가 해상도가 꽤 높고 나랑 잘 맞는다고 느껴졌다 (한국어를 지원하지만 결과지는 영어입니다. 연구 목적으로 지정성별과 현재 성별정체성을 물어보는데 무응답으로 제출해도 됩니다.) survey.ucalgary.ca/jfe/form/SV_...

Dear and beloved Fedi friends,

I would love your input on something:

Problem:

Right now, the account recovery flow on Mastodon has some issues. Imagine this scenario: an account has 2FA setup and the owner contacts the admins/mods through e-mail, that they have lost access to the 2FA app and requesting disabling it.

We do not keep logs, nor do we retain IP addresses. So, the problem here is that if the mailbox was breached, we can either help with the recovery (not knowing the request is not legit) or we can refuse to help with the recovery.

Possible solution:

It wouldn't be that much trouble to add some custom fields to the account page, where the account holder can fill in their wish as to how to verify such a request (think something like alternative means of contact, some signing key, etc).

Question:

Should I implement this (and trying to upstream it with a PR) or just put a policy in place like "your account security is your responsibility, can't help you if you lose access to your MFA"?

Hello Fedi friends!

My decision to upload the Fedi promo video to YouTube 2 weeks ago was really controversial.

@randahlRandahl Fink posted a nice message about the video & encouraged his followers to like / comment on it so the YouTube algorithm would serve it to more people. He was inundated by hostile comments for days. Sorry Randahl!

Well, exhibit A of why this was a good decision in hindsight (see pic).

How else are people going to hear about the Fediverse?

As always, thanks for the support ❤️

screenshot of 2 comments on YouTube. The first reads: "Thanks to my youtube feed that recommends this video. Heart emoji. I will definitely be part of this community." The second comment reads: "I heard of Mastodon but never used it. This is the first I am hearing of the Fediverse itself. I am intrigued!"

어떤 코미디 채널에서 시위, 집회 투쟁하는 노동자를 희화화하는 걸 우연히 유튜브에서 봤고… 너무너무 불쾌하게 느껴졌어 누가 봐도 비웃는 톤이었고 사용한 대사도 임금 쟁취 이런것이어서 누가봐도 투쟁하는 노동자였고 하나도 웃기지 않았고 이런 것을 코미디라고 내놓은 의도가 궁금했다…

iOSなどでChromeがクラッシュした時にタブ復元オプションがまれに表示されず、閉じたウィンドウを再度開くこともできず、開いていたタブ情報がデバイスから完全に失われるときがある(履歴を遡る方法は現実的ではない)

万が一そうなった時のしゅいろ流回復術がある(100%成功するわけではない)
1. タブが復元できず完全に失われたことが確定したら
1秒でも早くデバイスのネットワークを切断するか電源をオフにする(まっさらなタブ情報がGoogleアカウント側に同期され上書きされるのを防ぐ)
2. 別のデバイス(PCなど)で、
LANケーブルを抜くなどしてネットワークから切断してからChromeを開く
3. 履歴ページを開くと、運が良ければタブが消える前のタブ一覧データがキャッシュとして残っているので、そこから復元できる

この方法で2〜3回は救われた
