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.
In case you missed it, I shared a list of books on heists, thefts, and scams! https://xoxo.zone/@Ashedryden/115708939003686107 #bookstodon

1920년대 상하이를 시작으로 20년 가까이 이어지는 인연에 대한 만화인데, 일본의 상하이 습격과 2차세계대전이 스토리의 핵심 요소로 동작한다. 일본 대형 출판사에서 이런 소재의 만화를...?

Tomorrow, the #Koralmbahn enters regular passenger service — triggering the biggest overhaul of the Styrian S-Bahn system in years.
Lines are reorganised, new routes introduced, and long-distance services expanded, reshaping rail travel across Styria and beyond.
To keep things readable, I’ve fully updated my Styrian rail network diagram to reflect the new structure.
Here’s to day one of a new #railway era 🚆✨

La presenza femminile su Mastodon è ancora limitata e spesso meno visibile di quanto meriterebbe. Questo starter pack nasce per contrastare quello squilibrio e dare più spazio, voce e rilievo alle donne nel Fediverso:

Movie piracy is bad. That's why I want to know the best sites to block so I live free of sin.
I used to block dopebox.to, but since it doesn't work the way I want, I no longer need to block it.
What other good sites are there that I should block or whatever?

Today, I once again wake up worrying about #Rust 's future.
Why is a shitbag such as #dtolnay still allowed to single-handedly maintain fundamental libraries for the ecosystem? Why is he part of Library API team? How is he not permabanned for single-handedly permanently damaging Rust by killing off comptime reflection over his racism? How is he not permabanned for the power play he attempted to pull with his "RFC" after pushing pre-compiled binary to serde without notice? Why are MIC companies routinely tolerated at Rust conventions? Why does no one talk about it, despite the problems not being solved? Has #Ruby takeover taught people nothing? Will Rust survive another year without turning into #fashtech?
So many questions. I think about them every time I use Rust, which is often.
Apropos of nothing.
Excellent video, well worth a watch.
I completely agree with the premise. I love my tech, don't get me wrong... but I prefer to own my media, where possible - at least the stuff I really care about. And having an analog backup of data or manual override for digital controls is mandatory for anything important.
To every artist out there that does stickers: I love you.
I know it can be a pain to find a good vendor and keep track of inventory and whatnot - but it makes your art very accessible for folks who might not be able to afford prints or commissions, and I really appreciate that.
I also just love stickers, but I really love accessible art.
quick question about on-hill gear: do I go with the alien look (red lenses) or cyborg (greenish lenses)?
I just revisited a little piece I wrote about ten years ago, about TV clock idents.
Turns out:
· There is at least one person out there in the world who also recreates TV clock idents in JavaScript
· The Polish TV clock wasn’t even Polish!

Hmm, I'm starting to get some fan noise from the previously silent Noctua air cooler on the household server. It's been in roughly 24/7/365 service since 2022-03-24: I can't really begrudge it anything for gradually failing. I'll have to book some time and schedule an outage window to replace it this week. Or maybe early January.
Online age verification isn't the same as a quick ID flash: it's surveillance. These systems collect your data and undermine your ability to anonymously access and discuss sensitive topics online. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/why-isnt-online-age-verification-just-showing-your-id-person

How are you ending 2025 with whatever brings you joy?
I keep circling around the current media landscape (social, cultural, music/movies/literature) and I've wound up with an idea I can't execute on, but I want out in the world so maybe someone else can try it.
These are the core ideas motivating me:
1) We can't trust "big tech" cloud services. "The cloud" is just "other people's computers" and we cannot trust those other people with our shared music/movies/books or even our documents (think Google Drive or Dropbox).

The UK Online Safety Act returns to Parliament.
It's enabled iffy age-assurance providers, wrongly censored content and shuttered small sites while doing nothing to tackle the dominance of major platforms.

Elon Musk and X are once again proving why institutions should never rely on corporate-owned, centrally-controlled social media platforms to reach their people.

The weather in Denmark is really strange. Decades ago we would have snowstorms at this time of year with temperatures down to –20 ℃, but today it was +9 ℃ and next week it will be +10 ℃.
I took this photo on a hike through the forest of Gødding today, where it felt like a typical mild September day.
I wonder if we have seen the last white Christmas in Denmark.
