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.
If I would be living out my specific "fame", I would go to #39C3 with a t-shirt saying "I have 10K+ followers in the Fediverse". At #FOSDEM I would wear a T-Shirt saying "I use garage as my S3 object store and I like it a lot" :)
(disclaimer: at Red Hat I am part of the marketing team, so target audience analysis comes quite naturally to me ;)
@malwaretechMarcus Hutchins 
huh, neat.
The Dutch words โzolderโ (โatticโ) and โsolariumโ (โtanning salonโ) are doublets: they both stem from Latin โsลlฤriumโ (โroof terraceโ).
Dutch โsolariumโ comes from English, which in turn borrowed it from Latin in the nineteenth century.
โZolderโ entered the language at least fifteen centuries earlier: it was borrowed from spoken Latin into Proto-West Germanic, the distant ancestor of Dutch, English, German and others.
Hereโs number 9 in my series: Dutch doublets from Latin.

Soon we'll start seeing posts of all the things people are proud of accomplishing in 2025, and what they're hoping to do in 2026.
I'm here to tell you, if all you did was survive 2025, that's an accomplishment worth celebrating. Life is hard, and getting through a year is tough. I'm proud of you.

Team/single dude behind Blacksky announces plans to ship an open payments app based on ATProto tech. I am very curious about this, as Rudy has managed to build at least one thing nobody else succeeded at, but also skeptical because:
- Blacksky works well but has not (yet?) lived up to its promises on independence/uncensorability
- I know people who tried to create payment processors and the hard part is preventing the upstream from censoring you, not building web apps.

My Mum finally received her diagnosis after suffering a heart attack on Sunday.
The angiogram indicates that the attack caused one of her arteries to become completely blocked, so it looks like she will be having a heart bypass at some point.
She has been so well cared for over at the QA hospital in Portsmouth since she was transferred on Monday.
I'm more concerned about my Dad as he's started to have a few falls in recent weeks. Just off to see him and walk their dog now. Fortunately my brother lives near Portsmouth so he can get in and see Mum, so I'm not heading over the Solent every day.
Not the Christmas that we'd planned for, but it could be worse!

@malwaretechMarcus Hutchins it amuses me I could write a standin for midwit billionaires via a very small Python script. and it would consume far far far less resources than those LLM data ingest, training & inference systems. eg. ElonMusk.py

@malwaretechMarcus Hutchins I donโt think the market for midwit richie rich techie podcasts will admit a larger pool of influencers. The people who follow them are born followers, and they want to hang with the big dogs, so there is a natural power law in effect there. TLDR we are stuck with the Paypal mafia forever
Iโve seen reference to โevalโ w.r.t. AI. What does it mean?
I agree with 
@nikitonsky , and I think this is at root of much of the managerial mania for LLMs.
Having their terrible ideas go unchecked by underlings with expertise is basically crack cocaine for bad org leadership.
hi, claude successfully ported aasvg to rust so I can use it in dodeca
https://github.com/bearcove/aasvg-rs
it has zero deps and produces the exact same output enjoyyyy
(except mine has light-dark support)
@sunil Would it? I don't think so. Notifications to your friends of which game you're playing right now happens regardless of the game. Having a profile, adding friends, and several other social features aren't related to which game you play. I think only some games do deeper integration, like allowing online gaming with your friends, or sharing achievements (high scores, goals met) to the activity feed.
@malwaretechMarcus Hutchins This is how money turns into opinion and opinion turns into damage...

Reviewing Classic Christmas Stories As A Klingon:
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. A Ferenghi businessman is haunted by three spirits who attempt to remind him of his honor. The Ferenghi should have simply slain the demons who attacked him. 3/5 Christmas Bat'leths. Glory to Tiny Tim!
The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry. Two pathetic humans attempt a mating ceremony in which they sell their most prized possessions in order to purchase gifts for each other. Incomprehensible. Why does the female not simply bite the male to show her affection. 1/5 Christmas Bat'leths.
The Nutcracker by E.T.A. Hoffman. A child's toy comes to life and defeats the evil Rat King in glorious hand-to-hand combat. Then the toy's honor is memorialized in dance and song. A true warrior's tale! 5/5 Christmas Bat'leths.
A Charlie Brown Christmas by Charles M. Shulz. A young warrior struggles with internal demons of self-doubt and depression. While selecting a Christmas tree, he symbolically chooses one which reflects how he views himself - a weak tree, unable to support even a single ornament. He lashes out at those he considers his closest friends, attempting to remind them of their honor, and eventually gives up, believing his efforts were ultimately meaningless. But he is mistaken. His words were spoken with the heart of a true Klingon warrior, and his friends wrap the tree in their most prized possessions, giving it the strength to stand on its own, holding the weight of ornaments many times its own weight over. They gather around and sing songs of bravery and courage, and remind the young Klingon that he too will be welcomed into Sto-vo-Kor. Because sometimes the greatest battle a warrior will ever fight is the one inside his own mind and heart. 6/5 Christmas Bat'leths. Glory to the House of Brown.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr Seuss. A cautionary tale. A Klingon from a lowly house is shunned by his peers and forced to live without honor on the outskirts of town. Instead of seeking honor and glory on his own like a true Klingon, he instead sneaks around under cover of darkness and steals the town's presents with the help of his faithful targ. As punishment, Kah'less removes his warrior spirit and he is doomed to stay in the small town facing his dishonor every day. If he had the heart of a warrior, he would have done battle against Whoville and claimed the glory of Christmas for his own. 4/5 Christmas Bat'leths.
The Nightmare Before Christmas by Tim Burton. The King of Halloween Town assigns three children to kidnap the demon Sandy Claws because he is a coward who refuses to fight his own battles. They too fail, because none of them possess the heart of a warrior. 0/5 Christmas Bat'leths. Tim Burton has no honor.
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer by Robert L. May. A young warrior is shunned by his peers due to a physical deformity. He leaves his family and house to seek his own glory. He returns after defeating a dentist, a filthy gold-loving Ferenghi prospector, and an abominable snowman. Recognizing his fearless warrior spirit, he is given the place of honor at the front of Santa's sleigh. 5/5 Christmas Bat'leths. Glory upon the House of Rudolph!

Do you want help with using Mastodon or the wider Fediverse?
Please feel free to ask if you have any questions about using this place! There's no such thing as a silly question, it's fine to ask about anything however simple.
I'm especially keen to help new or non-technical people on here ๐ And yes I am a human being, I don't use AIs!
(Alternatively, you can browse my website at https://fedi.tips which has lots of easy-to-understand help and advice.)
I haven't written any code by hand in a text editor since the first week of November. My commit graph looks like ๐. Unless calamity strikes, it seems unlikely that I will spend any meaningful time for the rest of my life manually writing code. This will impact me personally and professionally and affect how I spend nearly all of my time, but I am as ready as I can be. I will solve problems with computers until they can do it all themselves or they put me in the ground. That's the job.

blacksmiths are WAY overcomplicating things imo. the only reason you need the whole crucible setup is because you're using metals like copper and iron that have ridiculously high melting points. i've been using gallium and it's so much easier. my men are about to do battle with my new gallium blades and your men are still waiting on ONE greatsword lmao
