What is Hackers' Pub?

A reminder: when displaying dates and times in apps, do just that. Display dates and times. Don't withhold information have from the user. Don't try to be clever.

Just saw an app tell me that a particular message was sent to me on Wednesday. Which Wednesday? In the time zone I am currently in, it's Wednesday. If the message was sent on Wednesday 3rd December, that is the information you give the user.

Even better, include the time. That way, people can more clearly see intervals and durations.

Cheese - for the grater good.

@nlswrnrNils Those are all things that need fixing, but that's largely unrelated to the actual capitalism that underpins the system. That's a function of suboptimal taxation and wealth redistribution.

At #w3cTPAC in Kobe 🇯🇵, several W3C chartered work groups as well as community-run groups had #AI on their group meeting's agenda. For example, #WebNN got fresh proposals (dynamic shapes, tensor binding), and WebMCP got more in-depth discussion as way to let web apps expose JavaScript-based tools to AI agents integrated in browsers.

I like that full data migration is built-in, but I imagine migrating *from Mastodon* might not be? Looks like there's a discussion thread:

i've been playing Sleep literally since the day i was born and i honestly might quit at this point. the fact that you STILL have to buy the godawful CPAP DLC to avoid the constant random "Interrupted Breathing" debuff is such bullshit.

i can deal with nightmares. i can deal with "Woken By Alarm" tanking your mood for two fucking hours. but this is literally unplayable. and i'm not a casual either, i've unlocked both "Sleeps on a Plane" and "Ignoring Partner's Snoring". fix your fucking game

@Mastodon is powered by a protocol called ActivityPub. While sick in bed, I spent today learning about it. Fabulous work by its authors! My humblest thanks to them.

the original BDSM was obsoleted in the 1990s; these days there are multiple continuations of it, including NetBDSM, FreeBDSM, OpenBDSM, and several others,,

Ed Zitron offers 15K words on whether Nvidia is like Enron (or several other famous fraudsters) or not. It's amusing and erudite and most people just won't have time to plow through it. Which is a pity, because 80% of the way through there’s a section called:

“Is NVIDIA Shipping Millions Of GPUs And Putting Them In Warehouses? Where Are The 6 Million Shipped Blackwell GPUs?”

His findings are absolutely shocking. Tl;dr: That headline just above.

Folks still using Audible, here’s my semi-regular plug that Libro.fm continues to be awesome for me after many years! I had a question late last night and this morning they answered and solved it with their fast and friendly customer support.

Also - they let you download your audio files! You can take them and put them in any other audio device or app you might want to use.

#decemberAdventure day 9: back to #gopher

A number of years ago I setup my own search tool for the gopherspace. I've not re-done a full crawl since getting it working, and due to some design issues, it eventually stopped working reliably enough to keep running. Due to RSI issues, I have prioritized other projects in the intervening years, but have slowly made a list of notes and plans for fixing it. Today's adventure is the first part in implementing my plan and getting it back to a useable state.

I've rewritten the crawler. The new one is a lot less buggy than the original, and has a number of improvement including a correctly working filter (supporting robots.txt and a defined list of servers not to index), better discovery of servers from the gopher maps, tracking when servers were last scanned, request rate limiting, and facilities for avoiding recording duplicate entries.

My initial tests have been on my main gopher server (forthworks.com:70) and a number of my private ones. This totals 32k selectors across 3 servers. I'm going to start a broader scan of the public gopherspace soon, so will update once I get through the initial scan of a few servers.

My full logs are at https://charles.childe.rs/DA2025

Going a bit off the beaten path for #FreeSoftwareAdvent, today I get to appreciate HaikuOS¹. While it has some issues (mostly keyboard-mapping) that prevent me from using it as the main OS on my writerdeck netbook, it is AMAZING in how well it uses resources. That little underpowered Atom processor with its 2G of RAM just flies. It boots in a fraction of the time of anything else (other than DOS) that I've installed on the hardware. The GUI and all the applications are delightfully snappy.

So please join me in sending a little praise toward the @haiku project for all the wonderful work they do!
