What is Hackers' Pub?

Hot take:

"I work in Tech" to mean exclusively silly-valley software development is the same classist, ignorant bullshit as Hollywood's "The Industry" to mean acting, and as someone not a software developer but very much a worker in technology, I am sick of pretending otherwise.

I will not be elaborating further.

Is anyone from #YYJ going to FediCon in Vancouver, and if so, what do you hope to come away with from the conference? #fedicon

I have titles for almost 60% of the sessions at Fedicon.

Still waiting for the other 40% 🙂

One of my daughters did all the work on this one! Hell, why not, let’s build the entire frickin Milky Way Galaxy, should only take 6 to 8 weeks

Today's vacation adulting was performing three trivial tasks that did not involve leaving my home or any significant effort, but I've ben putting off for months because brains are weird. Please clap.

Making a class in Python with just two static methods is basically "Tell me you used to code in Java without telling me you used to code in Java"

Trying to further improve #swad, and as I'm still unhappy with the amount of memory needed ....

Well, this little and special custom #allocator (only dealing with equally sized objects on a single thread and actively preventing #fragmentation) reduces the resident set in my tests by 5 to 10 MiB, compared to "pooling" with linked lists in whatever #FreeBSD's #jemalloc serves me. At least something. 🙈

The resident set now stabilizes at 79MiB after many runs of my somewhat heavy jmeter test simulating 1000 distinct clients.

FreeBSD installer console is so much better than the nux ones I have used. They feel broken and outlandish.

Has anyone had problems with running mastodon on FreeBSD in the past, especially with updating it?
Whenever I try to run “RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile” there is a node process at about 400% indefinitely. Does anyone know a solution to that?
To install it I followed @stefanoStefano Marinelli's guide (https://it-notes.dragas.net/2022/11/23/installing-mastodon-on-a-freebsd-jail/)

Kubuntu shutting down gracefully – without forcing off the computer – following an insane zpool-scrub(8) command:

lol, apparently machine-learning systems have serious trouble decoding human morse code? self-clocked, sloppy human timing, full of local slang & abbrevs, and not much of a real life training corpus

so learn morse to dodge the panopticon for a while

What would you like to see built with FreeBSD?

FreeBSD is more than just an operating system — it’s the foundation for powerful tools, applications, and creative projects.

We want to hear from you: What would you like to see us explore, create, or showcase next using FreeBSD as the base platform?

When using ZFS as the file system the "df" command is reporting the pool size
and not file system sizes. It also does not know about descendent ZFS
datasets, snapshots, quotas, and reservations with their individual space usage.
Use the built-in "zfs list" command to get a better overview of space usage:

zfs list -o space

Seriously. What’s your excuse for still being on X at this point. They’ve literally built HitlerBot.

The received wisdom is that growth on Mastodon and Bluesky comes from big waves of new users who flee other networks when their owners say or do something particularly evil. But according to @laurenshof, that's no longer a given. "Musk managed to put himself up high on the list of people whose actions directly led for the largest number of deaths in the twenty-first century due to his involvement in the shutdown of USAID, but such evil did not meaningfully lead to people leaving Musk’s social network for other places," Hof writes for his Connected Places newsletter. Here, he takes a look at what's happening.

"look the computer can generate more code faster" the world absolutely does not need or want more code, nothing needs more code for the sake of code, we need utility, functionality and empathy, an encoded understanding of the problem being solved and the humans around it. Code is the price we pay for that encoded understanding. What you've created is an entropy spigot pointed at the proxy metric graph you’re stuck using because your management doesn't understand anything.

I have a modest project here that I've been able to prove out to myself with a demo Bash contraption, but I understand that the Right Thing These Days if you're turning a toy demo into a Real Thing is to rewrite it in Python (legibility, error handling, etc.)

The goal of the project is uncomplicated - it is to make it as simple as possible for a website operator to share the defensive actions they've taken, and benefit from those of others.

Does this sound like it's of any interest to you?
