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.

The lack of functional discovery features on Mastodon is so nice. One of the worst experiences on Bluesky is making a post and then 18 hours later completely random people start Discovering it. And they're almost never happy to see it, nor do they remotely understand the intent or context. Make a post for your friends on Bluesky and wake up the next morning to a bunch of messages from mystery people along the lines of "why did you post this??". And I just want to know well why did you read it??

The infosec hell was never users writing down their password in a post-it stuck to their monitor.

The true infosec hell is developers trusting centralized repositories of "open source" that nobody reads nor audits.

Again I have to battle against devs that, for pure convenience and laziness, put users and the company at the mercy of any random of the internet, with the willing to perform a supply chain attack.

I’ll be forever amused that the narrative around Zohran Mamdani has gone from he’s a communist who will drive rich people from New York to even Trump saluting this guy has a point, this country is now unaffordable for the average person.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Hard to separate this iteration of fascism/authoritarianism from Big Tech. Big Tech has funded it; Big Tech's guiding ethos "move fast and break things" and "overconfidence in technocracy" informs how it governs; Big Tech's constant rent-seeking took over the federal government.

Since I am deeply involved in computer security, every time Danielle gets frustrated by having to jump through too many security hoops to access her accounts she looks at me and says jokingly, “This is all YOUR PEOPLE’S fault!” Hoo boy does this bring the issue of appropriate security controls home in a meaningful way.

Remember kids, the last leg of the CIA triad is “availability”.

You meet the users where they are to stop them doing the stupidest shit imaginable.

You have literally no idea how much this paid off. The number of infected media players people downloaded in the age before Windows Media Player had more than three codecs is unimaginable

Who knows if I saved the entire firm doing this

Every corporate machine comes with
VLC because people kept trying to
download infected crap to play their
anime

Ich muss sagen, ich bin wirklich sehr froh über meine Bubble hier!

Es wird nicht genervt reagiert, wenn (ent)gendert wird, sich jemand vegan ernährt, psychische Erkrankungen sind keine Psychomacke, nicht cis hetero sein kein kindische Phase, es wird nicht über DIE Ausländer geschimpft, wer keinen Alkohol trinkt, trinkt halt keinen und so weiter.

Danke, dass es euch gibt! Ist ja in der Realität sonst nicht auszuhalten.

Randall Munroe's comic has the power to make you laugh, to make you think ... and sometimes to make you cry. For the right reasons.

Wishing another fifteen (and many more) to Randall Munroe, his wife (name unknown but it's not Megan), and everyone else.

We have a very cool phraseologism in Polish: napisać/zapisać kredą w kominie. The literal translation is: to write with a chalk in a chimney. And the meaning is to emphasise that something rare and extraordinary has happened. For example:

"She has agreed with me. I'll write with a chalk in a chimney."

So, please write with a chalk in a chimney, that I have cleaned the bathroom.

Please note, this sentence also contains a bit of autoirony, but that's another story.

We need your help. Because 404 Media uses Ghost (a privacy-forward stack) we don't know much about our readers. Do they find us through articles, or podcasts? Are readers on Bluesky, Mastodon, both? Please fill this out to help us grow sustainably, it takes 1 min! 404media.co/please-please-do-o

배트맨 효과: 임신부로 변장한 실험자가 지하철에 그냥 탔을 때 양보받을 확률이 37.66%, 배트맨 변장을 한 제2의 실험자가 함께 탔을 때 양보받을 확률이 67.21%. 그런데 양보한 사람들의 44%가 배트맨을 보지 못했다고 말함. 논문은 비일상적인 사건이 일어났을 때 그것을 무의식적으로라도 인식하면 사람들이 루틴에서 벗어나 지금의 순간을 보고 그에 반응하게 된다는 가설로 이를 설명하고 있다. 유교적으로 의미가 깊은 연구... www.nature.com/articles/s44...
