What is Hackers' Pub?

Pomoc Ukrajině přepočtená na počet kafí na osobu za měsíc. Překvapilo mě, jak málo kafí to je. Utvrzuje mě to ve víře, že Ukrajina + Evropská unie + Koalice ochotných + mezinárodní právo, že jsme řádově silnější než Rusko.

This week streams!
GBC World update: the seaside town now features a Mall! A frightening number of italian cars out of the nineties can be seen in the parking lot (available in iconic colors such as: moldy green, blinding red and sad beige). And then Battle and Overworld Sprite for a Vampire Lord boss!
Both the GBC World and new enemies sprites are coming to itch!

I also got to use this Python oddity for real in a test suite:
https://github.com/coveragepy/coveragepy/blob/main/tests/test_misc.py#L24-L30

# Make two sets which are equal but iterate differently.
numset1 = set(range(20))
numset2 = set(range(20))
for i in range(0, 20, 2):
numset2.remove(i)
for i in range(0, 20, 2):
numset2.add(i)

def test_scrambled_sets():
assert numset1 == numset2
assert list(numset1) != list(numset2)

anyway, until then, here's the "Hello world" post on rue's blog: rue-lang.dev/blog/hello-w...

Hello, World! | Blog | Rue

After years of fucking around, compromising and second guessing, I have settled on 3 principles when it comes to my blog:

1. No analytics beyond whatever is baked into Ghost
2. No sponsorships and no advertising, not now, not ever
3. I will never charge more than $2.50 a month for membership and I will never raise my prices

とにかく日本の国民皆保険制度を壊させてはいけない。でも今もう既に、なし崩し的に壊され始めてる。絶対に許すな！自民党はアメリカみたいな国にしようとしてるからね。日本の厚労省のお手本はアメリカとイギリスだから。イギリスだって今、NHSが機能しなくなってて大変なことになってるんだから。

Just added Web Reachability API (at least that’s what I’m calling it) support to https://ip.small-web.org.

It’s for testing the reachability of your Small Web servers (using a domain or, more importantly, an IPv4/IPv6 address). I’m using it to implement Web Numbers¹ support in Auto Encrypt² and Kitten³.

Protocol:

• At http://<endpoint> return an empty HTTP 200 response that includes the following custom header: 'web-reachability-id': ‘<uuid>'
• Hit: https://ip.small-web.org/reach/<endpoint>/<uuid>/
• If you get a 200 response back, your endpoint is reachable. Anything else signals an error.

Enjoy! 💕

Some things about the fascists and the AI insanity truly startle me—like I didn't think the tech bros could find a way to actually destroy thinking...yet they made a device that short circuits the process of thinking.

I didn't think that was a thing you could destroy.

When we’re giving advice on who to follow to make this place more full of ***life*** for folk arriving, we should add:

- search works well, though not everyone’s posts are searchable; at least you’ll find a starter set of folk to follow
- look at who boosts posts in your areas of interest and look at their timeline; these folk tend to be the connectors in networks, and on fedi, we rely on boosts to move signal

And to all, a good solstice.

Strangers, purportedly men, sending a private message that just says 'do you mind if I ask you something?' or 'can I ask you a question?' Is this some new scam? I’ve just blocked my third in two days. I blocked them quicker than a reply guy on a 5000-character instance who lectured me about Linux, so I didn’t notice if the messages were all from the same server. The wording was similar but the profiles were different. Strange scam, if it is one. There were no dodgy links.

What I'm listening to today: "Butter the Soul", Cornershop

If you remember this band at all it's probably for their pop-rock tribute to Bollywood singer Asha Bhosle (the track Norman Cook really liked). Did you ever listen to the album? It's almost entirely instrumental funk with sitars and it kind of rules. This track mixes in some turntablism in a way which feels very "UK band in 1997" but works. Is this lo-fi hip hop

3. Leadership is about doing what is necessary, not just what is popular. Read literally anything our founders wrote about virtue, and the inherent risks to a society based on democratic processes to sustain the rule of law to the extent that unvirtuous people gain power.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/opinion/democrats-liberals-oil-gas-industry.html
