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.

So today I found out that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was TED’s most watched talk of the year. It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZOo...

This Is What a Digital Coup Lo...

“Rural America knows the truth long before the rest of the country feels it. Nothing collapses all at once. It just stops working in small places first while everyone else calls it local hardship. That’s why wood banks—like a food bank but for fuel—are important. They’re the clearest sign that basic systems in this country have already failed.”

ちょっとニュースつけたら、避難所は毛布1枚で寒かった、自助努力があった人はましだった、というトーンのストーリーが作られていて、目ん玉飛び出たわよ!
そりゃ何かしらの備蓄はあるに越したことはないけれど、北国の避難所に、暖を取るものが毛布1枚しかないことがそもそも問題だって。

だいたい、備蓄があったとしても、出先で被災した場合は、自宅にあるそれらは使えないじゃない。

という訳で、国は真面目に避難所の環境整備やってください。毎年のように地震や水害が起こっているにも関わらず、お粗末すぎるよほんとに。

From the Deutsche Bahn website: "Error: Your browser's behavior resembles that of a bot."

What on Earth am I supposed to _do_ with that? Why are _websites_ of all things placing, on the end user, the burden of proving that they are sufficiently "human"?

I also can't help but see this as an allegory for dealing with neurotypical and/or culturally naive people in general. There's always some criterion from determing whether you are "human enough", you're never going to understand what it actually is, and you'll never "pass" it without tolerating some of the most invasive nonsense imaginable.

It makes me want to scream.

この一週間くらいで胎動明らか強くなってて、左右グニュングニュン動いて蹴ってを繰り返しててあまりにも痛い。唸り続けて本当に寝れなくなってしまった。
寝ても2、3時間で起きる。
私のポケスリ多分唸り声で埋まってるわ
😇
元気なのは喜ばしいし愛しいが、私のキツイという感情は両立する…

Do any other German-Americans have a family dish that is shredded dill pickles, hard yellow cheese like cheddar or Colby, and mayo that is eaten on bread or with crackers? I grew up with it and I’ve not met any other families that eat this lol

Trying to contact company A about making an order. They do not answer their phones. They will not respond to voice mail messages. They do not respond to email.

Trying to contact company B about a in-warranty return. The website customer service "contact us" form, when submitted, the submit button turns light gray and nothing happens. This occurs in both Firefox on Linux and Chrome on Windows. No posted phone number.

Beginning to develop something like "Dead Internet Theory", but for capitalism

Had a play with in live mode from a USB stick on an older laptop tonight just to see if the hardware was supported.

Boy am I out of practice at configuring stuff on the command line! I've become spoilt by GUIs in recent years.

Didn't help with the bug in 15.0 where the WiFi firmware file was incorrectly named and couldn't be loaded for the Intel 8260. Got there eventually, but it seemed to be very slow with iwlwifi. More experimentation required!

This is my face that there doesn't seem to be a Linux tool that will directly delete a login from a single supplementary group, with a usage like a hypothetical 'usermod --del-from-group agrp alogin'. You can entirely replace someone's list of supplementary groups or entirely replace the list of logins for a supplementary group, but not directly remove a single login from a single group without surrounding it with get-and-modify-group-state stuff.

update: oops, missed 'usermod -r ...'
