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.

I’ve grown a lot this year, and fixed a lot of relationships too.

I’m only successful because of you, and you’ve helped me become a better and stronger leader.

No more drama, ego or insults. What we’re building together is far more important.

So I’ll listen and focus on your feedback.

Together we’ll make 2026 the year of the social web 🚀

@maguayMatthew Guay in your recent newsletter, you highlight the delay in a post from Threads showing up in Mastodon as a potential issue with the "speed" of federation. Note that Threads specifically builds in a delay (I think at least 5 minutes, it may be more) before sending posts to the ActivityPub world - it's an intentional thing on their side.

some apps will choose to index these JSON files as rows in database for faster querying and aggregation, while others may actually retrieve those files from your hosting on the fly (possibly backed by community caches)

the metaphor i find most useful is that your "posts", "likes", etc, are really just JSON files in this paradigm — and more concretely, concepts like "bluesky post" or "tangled repo" or "leaflet comment" are like JSON file formats. and then different apps — arbitrary even — interpret these formats

“Difficult to overstate how profound a🚨failure DOGE was. Spending in FY25: not only⬆️than in FY24 –but⬆️than it was projected to be when Trump took office.*

The little bit of spending DOGE cut has💔already killed 100s of 1000s & will eventually kill millions.”
-B Kogan

Former DOGE employees take new roles in the admin. Musk initially led DOGE, prompting its work on X.

DOGE mandate: to slash govt: continues, & some red states have employed its tactics.

What’s really special about Loops is how wild, wacky and pure it is.

The community has started doing things I never expected, like create video responses, and I’m over here in awe because ppl actually like, use and enjoy it, so it drives me to implement and build new features like Video Comment Replies and it’s a dream 🥰

It’s a positive feedback loop of community driven evolution.

That’s why I made this Governance page on our website.

Loops belongs to you ❤️

so in short, AT decouples hosting from apps hosting is very cheap and we assume it'll be abundantly available (both via companies, communities, and ability to self-host) apps, on the other hand, are not always cheap to run (but can be) but they can come and go without killing your data

of course if your *hosting* disappears then you're kind of more screwed. unless you have a backup (which are trivial to do already and will probably be automated). if you do have a backup and a rotation key, you can change where your hosting points, and apps will be slurping your data from there

so in principle this means that another app could decide to index those leaflets and in that way "import" them into the new blogging app and give them a new life. it's like google going down doesn't kill the websites, it just means they won't be accessible through google. someone else can index

Starup Orbital Arc has designed a smaller, more efficient thruster for launching satellites. By using nanoscale tips that polarize electrons instead of plasma generation, these thrusters can have a 30-40 percent improvement in power efficiency.

in that sense, yes, app developers usually host your data too (at least, their own app-specific projections of your data) however if an app goes down or disappears, the only thing that disappears is that app's database (projection), not the source of truth (your data on your hosting)
