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.

Today we launch the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) with project contributions of MCP (Anthropic), goose (Block) and AGENTS.md (OpenAI), creating a shared ecosystem for tools, standards, and community-driven innovation.

⚠️ The Free Software Foundation Europe deleted its account on X ⚠️

The platform never aligned with our values and no longer serves as a space for communication. What initially intended to be a place for dialogue and information exchange has turned into a centralised arena of hostility, misinformation, and profit-driven control, far removed from the ideals of freedom we stand for.

RE: mastodon.social/@Mastodon/1156

I’m proud to share my first blog as @Mastodon’s Community Director. Well the first one posted under my name at least 😉

Digital social networking is one of the most important threads in the fabric of our societies. Right now, we’re letting that thread be controlled by social media platforms that let advertisements for scams stay up because they’re profitable, and that use their algorithms to run human research experiments on us without our consent. That’s not the society I want.

“By making the news and truth contingent on advertising budgets we’ve created an environment where any narrative can win, as long as the storyteller is willing to pay. If we allow these conditions to continue, we will leave behind the voices that truly matter; the people and their public institutions. It is critical that those voices not be silenced forever. The promise of the is the promise of a better way forward: free from ads and manipulative algorithms, a place built by and for people like you, where is a right and not a privilege.”

In this thread, we asked folks to crowdsource a list of resources so you can find your local representative. Find them, contact them, and tell them this: if you care about a free and just future, and if you care about , you must leave X and join the fediverse.

Apparently the hardest part of writing detective fiction is contriving a way for a detective to be present at a murder scene. Which is why so much detective fiction has implausible coincidences to frame the story: detectives who just happen to be invited to the country manor when a murder happens, detectives that happen to have a relative in trouble, detectives who just happen to be visiting the village fair as someone is shot, and so on.

@dpiponiDan Piponi (1/2)

A hush had fallen over the Drones Club smoking-room, a circumstance which, in itself, was nearly as shocking as the thing which had caused it. There, in the wingback chair by the fire, lay the Hon. Alby "Biffy" Bassington-Fitch, cold as yesterday’s mutton, and with a most definitive paper-knife protruding from his back.

By his side, on the occasional table, sat a half-finished whiskey and soda and a neatly addressed envelope containing an I.O.U. for a sum that would have made a tax-collector blanch.

"Murdered!" breathed Freddie Littlehorn, with a sort of ghastly relish. "Struck down in his prime! A mystery!"

"A dashed outrage," agreed Cyril Ponsford-Smythe, peering at the deceased as a critically-minded horticulturalist might regard a disappointing melon. "Who on earth could have done it?"

"The butler, what?" suggested someone from the back.

"We haven’t got a butler," Freddie pointed out, rather deflating the theory.

We've written a new guide on Federated Identity (FedCM).

The articles helps you to understand what's happening under the surface when a website works with an identity provider (IdP) to add federated sign-in for their users.

We cover the main flows as defined in the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol and its security features.
We also present how the FedCM API helps with moving away from third party cookies, and we list some strengths and weaknesses of Federated Identity.

Interesting, AS1299 (Arelion/Telia) has made ASPA objects for... AS0 (aka never transit)

This is... a bold move.

Glad that they will be the lab rat for how well this works in practice for a "transit free carrier", given that in practice it seems that a lot of the transit free carriers are not entirely transit free
