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.

Hello, new friends!

As the great @FediFollows@social.growyourown.servicesFediFollows 🎅 posted about this service, many of you started following me and the cities. And I'm so glad about it!

If you want to know something more about FediMeteo and its story (and how all this is still working on a 4 euro/month VPS powered by ), you can have a look here:

Dec 5 is again.

I NEED to replace my recumbent that I had to leave in the US. I need the transportation and I need the exercise to even tread water with my health. I can cycle longer than I can walk for. I can't just use a regular bike or even a regular trike. Rare trike, plus shipping is $$$.

Things are tough for everyone. I'm grateful for the folks who've already donated! Please consider buying my music or using Bandcamp as a conduit to donate (with the "premium" of music).

Green and brown generic Bandcamp Friday graphic that has been modified with a photo of a Greenspeed Magnum XL recumbent trike, which has a weight capacity of 400 lbs, rare among recumbent trikes. Text says "Bandcamp Friday December 5" and I've inserted my music site:  meganlynch.bandcamp.com

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!

나치 겪은 독일은 안다‥방치 했다간 공동체 집어삼켜 (영상) imnews.imbc.com/replay/2025/... "지난해에만 독일 전역에서 4만 건이 넘는 극우 범죄가 적발됐습니다. 조직원은 군인, 경찰, 공무원은 물론 판검사 등 법조인 임용도 불가능합니다. 공적 영역에서 영구 격리시키는 겁니다. 민주사회를 지키려면 이를 좀먹는 극우 세력 박멸을 위한 국가적 노력이 당연하다는 게, 독일 사회의 흔들림 없는 원칙입니다."

“한국인들 데이터 유출됐어도 쿠팡 계속 쓸 것, 손실 제한적”···JP모건의 씁쓸한 전망 www.khan.co.kr/article/2025... "JP모건은 다만 쿠팡이 보상안을 내놓거나 정부가 징벌적 손해배상금 등을 부과할 가능성이 있는 만큼 “상당한 일회성 손실(sizable one-off loss)”을 기록해 단기적으론 주가를 둘러싼 환경이 악화될 것이라고 내다봤다. 국내 이커머스 시장을 쿠팡이 독점하고 있어 이번 개인정보 유출 사태가 일시적 충격에 그칠 것이라고 본 것이다."

Grâce à un accord passé avec la société Mistral AI, le CNRS s’est doté d’un agent conversationnel sécurisé en intelligence artificielle générative, avec des modèles à la pointe de la recherche en IA générative. Cet agent est baptisé Emmy, en référence à la mathématicienne Emmy Noether.

Cet agent aura certainement des réponses sur les sujets les plus pointus, car l'agent ne tait rien.

RE: toot.cafe/@aardrian/1156518984

"Because people have varying needs across disparate contexts from assorted expectations with unequal skill levels using almost random technologies, never mind current moods and real-life distractions, to suggest one thing will be accessible for everyone in all those circumstances is pure hubris. Or lack of empathy. Maybe a mix."

Bottom line being we can't win them all, but we can do our best to enable as many people as possible.

Earlier I mentioned that fun and joy are actually very important. Indeed, the success of *all* social networks, and indeed, almost every kind of tech, has been rooted in people having joyful, often shared, experiences together.

Joy is part of resistance. And joy is part of our tech.
