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.

RE: mastodon.social/@dansup/115497

Seems like bsky starts experimenting using mediabunny (mediabunny.dev/) to compress videos github.com/bluesky-social/soci

Loops did the same too.

The bundle size is quite big, tho' I think will still be smaller than ffmpeg-wasm (github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.w), used on tools.rotato.app/compress (I've been using this for videos I upload here instead of Handbrake app)

A new Current is rolling out with a handful of cosmetic changes and bug fixes for .

User visible changes are:

1. If your server allows quoting the "boost" button now also shows a pair of quotes.
2. Following feedback, the background colour for quotes/ preview cards in light mode is slightly darker and in dark mode is slightly lighter.

FediMod FIRES is also rapidly approaching 1.0.0, and there's now instructions available for how to setup and install your own FIRES server.

That's also why my contributions to Mastodon have dropped off a bit this year, as I've needed to focus on FediMod FIRES, since it was income I could rely on.

I've still landed some pretty big changes in mastodon this year: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p

I've also been having to take on work outside of the fediverse to try to keep things sustainable, but of course that means I'm busy doing that work instead of working on the open social web.

Small note: the previous figure I'd shared for community support accidentally omitted the €1730 from GitHub Sponsors because I don't see that in my normal Stripe dashboard

The NLNet amount also jumped up as I was able to submit another request for payment, which has since been approved.

I've also submitted grant applications for FediMod FIRES (to continue development) and for the ActivityPub Trust & Safety Taskforce, which if approved will unlock funds for myself and others on the taskforce, allowing us to spend more time on that work.

Hey people, I've an ask: If you appreciate all that I do for the fediverse and open social web, and you'd like to see me continue to do that work, please support my work financially.

Right now I'm having to look for work outside of the Fediverse because I simply cannot make ends meet.

I need €60-70k per year to support myself, with costs everywhere feeling increased (so that number may even be too low)

Right now, year to date, I've received a total of €20,170 in financial support from the community, and €22,450 from NLNet grants. I've also only had minimal freelance work this year, as I've been busy on grant work & try to focus on the fediverse & open social web.

So my total income isn't yet enough to be regularly sustainable. I've had problems being able to make rent payments this year because cashflow on grants comes in large chunks usually months after the work has been done.

So if you want to see me keep doing what I'm doing, please support my work!

Jon Seager, VP of Engineering at Canonical and I had a discussion about using Rust in Ubuntu. 🦀 🎙️

Jon is super honest about the tradeoffs of the migration (we cover uutils and sudo-rs) as well as future projects. We also touch on the costs of legacy software in C.

Podcast here: corrode.dev/podcast/s05e05-can

Thanks @jnsgrukJon Seager!

Astronomers may have just caught the first direct hint of dark matter. A new study says gamma rays near the Milky Way’s center—seen by NASA’s Fermi spacecraft—match what you’d expect from colliding WIMPs, those long-proposed dark matter particles. Not everyone’s convinced yet, since other galaxies don’t show the same signal, but if it holds, it’s huge. Full story: theguardian.com/science/2025/n

Vast red-hued Milky Way galaxy core filled with countless stars and cosmic dust clouds.

We're VERY pleased to announce that we've been successful in our third funding round from @NGIZeroNGI Zero open source funding!

nlnet.nl/news/2025/20251127-45

With that funding, next year we'll be working on:

* built-in slicing and printing! (using existing systems and APIs, no wheel reinvention here)
* version control!
* comments and likes, with federation!
* plugins! (to enable adding additional features like model customisation without overloading the core)
* ... and plenty more!

Manyfold Year 3, here we come!

외환시장은 균형을 맞추는 시장인지라, 적은 액수라도 한 방향(원화 매도)로 계속 이어지면 흐름에 영향을 줌. 정부로서도 고민이 많겠네. 장기적 흐름이라 딱히 대응책이 없음.

나는 개인 해외 투자에 대해서, 너무 투기적이거나 묻지마식인 투자 행태와 환율 하락시 대규모 환차손 발생 가능성을 우려하고 있음. 이거 일본 버블 때 미국 부동산 사들이던 행태하고 비슷하거든.

ブルアカ スバルネタバレ含む

時間が空いてしまったからかもしれないけど、もう少し自分はスバルに対しての寄り添いがあっても良かったと思った
正直マイアの方を実装してスバル後でイベストでもう1回掘り下げてからでも良かったと思う
それくらいスバルの心理描写は結構刺さった

1/5 🚨 European Commission slammed for breaching transparency laws 🚨

🔎 The European Ombudsperson has found that the Commission disregarded important transparency rules while preparing the Regulation, which is a part of the legislation to "counter migrant smuggling" ➡️ ombudsman.europa.eu/en/press-r

The Ombudsperson's inquiry follows a complaint lodged by @edri and Platform for Undocumented Migrants (@PICUM) on behalf of the coalition 👏🏾

European Commission building in the centre. It is surrounded by 4 people - 2 people in the top are looking at their phones, one looks distressed. 2 people at the bottom are security personnel. CCTV cameras surround the building.

전세계 남자들 사이에서 실력으로 추앙받는 동양인 남자를 보니 어떻게든 마운팅 걸고 싶은 찌질남의 모습이다.
