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.

Ha ha — but also note that the 21% figure is itself •generated by an automated tool•:

❝The next day, he got a response from Max Spero, chief executive of Pangram Labs in New York City, which develops tools to detect AI-generated text. Pangram screened all 19,490 studies and 75,800 peer reviews.…Pangram’s analysis revealed that around 21% of the ICLR peer reviews were fully AI-generated, and more than half contained signs of AI use.❞

The word “revealed” is doing way too much work there.

Around a quarter of papers at an AI conference were found to have been written by AI. Additionally, a good portion of the peer reviews were also found to have been done by AI. People at the event are now raising concerns everything was essentially bollocks. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-03506-6

Like Pixelfed and PeerTube, Loops is in a weird spot of technically being very very good, but lacking dedicated people to make media specifically for it.

I think these platforms would benefit tremendously by aggressively courting the creators on YouTube and Tiktok and Instagram Reels to try creating stuff on the Fediverse.

While it’s true that the Big Platforms have a massive hold over online creators when it comes to financial incentive, I still think there’s some worthwhile things we can do.

  1. Ask Big Creators what tools / features they need specifically. Is posting on the Fediverse as easy for them as simply having an API their tools can hook into, like Buffer does for scheduled posts? Is adding a new platform a matter of friction, or is the friction more related to engaging with yet another part of the Web?

  2. Get some rough numbers on how much creators make on a monthly or even quarterly basis from posting. I know some people make a substantial amount month over month just by making videos for Tiktok. We don’t really have a comparable thing on our end, but knowing these metrics might still be useful.

  3. Figure out how to onboard video makers and their followers onto the Fediverse at the same time. Do you get a handful of creators to commit to a launch date in the future, or get people to agree to mirror their stuff somewhere? I feel like getting mutuals onto the same network at the same time is an under-explored aspect of Fediverse Advocacy.

GNOME Foundation Update, 2025-11-28

Welcome to another GNOME Foundation update; an overview of everything that's been happening at the Foundation. There was no update last week, due to me being away from my computer last Friday, so this post covers a two week period rather than the usual single week. Many thanks to everyone who responded to my request...

When the UK's new nuclear power plant Hinkley Point C starts to produce power in 2030, its guaranteed 'strike price' will have risen to ~150 £/MWh (170 €/MWh). Average wholesale electricity prices will probably be around half of that, so that's a 50% subsidy.
At an annual production of 25 million MWh (3.2 GW in baseload), I'd say that's £1.9 billion per year in subsidies.

드디어 힘든 싸움 끝에 마스토돈을 쿠버네티스에 띄워서 접속하는데 성공은 했지만... 지금은 기존 DB를 tailnet으로 접속하고 있는데 디비왔다갔다 레디스왔다갔다 하다 보니 페이지 뜨는데 5초가 넘게 걸려서 이걸 실제로 적용했다간 파멸이 분명하다... hosts로 먼저 테스트해보길 잘 했다...
