What is Hackers' Pub?

thinking about the facebook atomic clock i could make one does anybody want one because i probably can't justify the cost of that for a single board

Something that routinely blows my mind: academics are often less political than industry folks I meet

todo.txt has a screencast rather than docs to "find out what the CLI can do" https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli/wiki/User-Documentation

The screencast is on Vimeo, and the video is "unrated," so it requires signing in and verifying your age 🤡

Good example of how parts of the Internet have become an unserious place.

oh man, #snac has no docs, except man pages which I hate because the search functionality was updated last before notepad on windows had CTRL+F or before windows even existed, it's broken, and I can't get info or get the basic config.

#SelfHosting week 0:
Phase 0. Choosing domain name for self hosting: plusbrothers.online seems available. the .net is my main website based on #WordPress
Considering also plusbrothers.community but who knows if it's possible. Something that warns users that's the same site but with other purposes.
What to do there: Mastodon instance with more than 500 characters if possible. Then Castopod, and maybe a WordPress to transfer English blog there.
Finally, choosing the most appropriate VPS server where to install #YunoHost currently confronting most famous VPS vendors' websites user interface for #accessibility - this is a showcase for customer care. Less accessible means less disability-friendly, that means "I'd prefer you don't come to us". Hostinger has an accessibility statement but it's very superficial and maybe copy-pasted from a template just because obliged by european laws, not for real care.

Hi #fediverse! I'm working on Hackers' Pub, a small #ActivityPub-powered social platform for developers and tech folks.

We're currently drafting a content #moderation (#flag/#report) system and would really appreciate any feedback from those who have experience with federated moderation—we're still learning.

Some ideas we're exploring:

• Protecting reporter anonymity while giving reported users enough context to understand and improve
• Graduated responses (warning → content removal → suspension) rather than jumping to bans
• Using LLM to help match reports to code of conduct provisions
• Supporting ActivityPub Flag activity for cross-instance reports

Our guiding principle is that moderation should be about growth, not punishment. Expulsion is the last resort.

Here's the full draft if you're curious: https://github.com/hackers-pub/hackerspub/issues/192.

If you've dealt with moderation in federated contexts, what challenges did you run into? What worked well? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

我前幾天努力的提起勁回了日本筆友的信，她是一個很常來台灣玩的人。上一封寫給她的信裡面我提到大學的時候有時候晚上睡不著就騎著腳踏車去漁人碼頭看海，一直看到天亮才又騎回宿舍。然後她回我「漁人碼頭は夕焼けで有名とお聞きしましたが、朝日も素敵でしょうね。（聽說漁人碼頭的夕陽很有名，日出應該也很棒吧）」

…………太陽是東方升起西方落下的啊！！！夕陽很有名的地方必定看不見日出啊！！！
但是我忍住吐槽的衝動認真的回信了！我覺得我很棒！希望她沒有覺得我刻意無視她寫的這句話耶

Did you know that I have a website where I curate apps, websites, and resources for not only the Fediverse (ActivityPub) but for ATProto as well?

Check it out here: https://fediverseresources.com?ref=promo

I'm always looking for contributors and assistant curators. Reach out if you're interested.

Dear contributors to projects I work on,

If you are programming with LLMs under the assumption that they will fill in the gaps in your own abilities, I can assure you that they will not. I prefer to not spend my time reviewing code you submit that you do not understand.

Thank you,

There's not only an #Apple Steve. MS has their own stereotypical #DotNet version.

Talking of Steve-like jobs, this particular CEB Distinguished Engineer at #Microsoft sure loves to sprinkle #AI fairydust into disbelieving eyes, with 💫 dizzying enthusiast levels:

> “Our North Star is 1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code”

Rookie: What should I do?

CEB: We'll keep you out of the wind first few days. 250k LoC is fine.

Linux is good now. The author had enough of Windows and Microsoft shenanigans. I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop

I really struggle with the concept of “deserving” good things. It just feels… off to me.

I don’t understand why it matters. I think I want to live in a world where we do good things because we can and because people matter to us, not because those people are owed it or have earned it.

What good I do in the world I don’t do because the other person deserves it, I do it because I want to be the kind of person that does good. I don’t understand why anyone cares whether it’s deserved.

지금 이야기 듣고 있는데, 사내 게시판에는 장기 휴가 중의 본인상으로 올라왔고 구체적인 내용을 다들 몰랐다고 합니다. 왜 장기 휴가 중인지, 왜 돌아가셨는지. 그저 건강이 안 좋아서 그랬다고 생각했다고. 가해자 쪽도 그만두었다고만 들었고 사유는 몰랐다고 하고요. 그렇게 보니 "카카오대표가 올렸다는 추모의 글"도 맥락을 거세하고 올리지 않았을까요.-_-a++++++

“We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism”

Among the laws going into effect this year in New Jersey: minimum wage increase and allowing 17-year-olds who are turning 18 before general election to vote in primaries.

"By allowing these 17-year-olds to vote in primary elections we are allowing them to weigh in on which candidates they want representing their party in the general election, just like everyone else who will be voting in November."
