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.

The for Sunday 4 January 2026 is:

The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.

@ me, if you like, or just include the tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.

If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you’re able to.

高市首相は周りに馬車馬のように働いていただき、ワークライフバランスという言葉を捨て、働いて働いて働いて働いて働いて、参りますと豪語し世間と政界ははしゃいでいるが、国民は働いて働いて働いて働いて馬車馬のように働いて税金を搾り取られて、こんな状態だっていうのに有ろう事か労働に殺されている国民だっているんですけど

If Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark wants the US to bomb Nuuk and abduct the Greenland government, I recommend continuing the European line of Trump appeasement.

Alternatively, now would be a good time to condemn Trump’s new war with Venezuela and mobilize an international coalition for the defence of Greenland.

here's a thesis: joy is power. it threatens authority. therefore, authorities strive to control it.

it is telling to then see where joy and its instruments are expressly permitted, and where they are being suppressed.

there is a history to joy. the counterculture movement was suppressed precisely because it started out as joyful.

and it is understandable then why minority issues co-opted symbols of joy: the rainbow. the word "gay".

but this is just a thesis. i'm still building it.

"The ICT sector uses 12% of Switzerland’s electricity, according to the study, which considered all electronic devices for private and professional use (such as smartphones, tablets, laptops), as well as telecommunications networks and data centres in the country in 2024. The total electricity demand is just below the annual output of the Gösgen nuclear plant in western Switzerland."

I finally got the data transfer from the AISC110C high-speed camera sensor working!

It's a 5€ chip that outputs 80x120 video at up to 40k fps.

Data is read with a Xilinx Spartan7 and transmitted via USB3 with a Cypress FX3, each on its own little PCB.

The front PCB is exchangeable, making this a neat modular platform. I already have an analog video frontend with the ADV7182 and am working on a Cameralink interface.

Videos are coming tomorrow, I need more light for the high framerates.

A greyscale image of a hand giving thumbs-up. It's a video capture of the highspeed sensor, albeit only recording at 30fps with 8ms exposure time in this case.A stack of three PCBs sitting on a grey 3D-printed base (the back of the camera housing)  lying on top of a hand. The uppermost PCB has the image sensor on top. Between the upper and middle PCB a 80 pin connector is visible. The middle and lower PCB have some components visible on their top sides.The grey 3D-printed casing of the PCB stack is sitting in a bracket on top of a camera mount. On the front a metal CS-mount thread is screwed into the 3D-print. Inside that, a printed adapter is holding a black M12 lens.

고양이를 사랑하는 옆집 아줌마가 고양이가 죽기전에 복제기술이 개발되어 고양이를 복제해서 계속 같이 살고 싶다고 했다한다. 물론 그 심정을 이해도 하지만 갈 때가 되서 가는 놈을 쿨하게 보내주면 안될까? 갑자기 간 전의 냥이놈이 아직도 맘 한 구석네 있지만 한 두 놈 더 돌봐주고 가면 다들 같이 볼 수 있지 않을까하는 생각을 한다. 물론 난 유물론자이다.

rhetorical question

what's the bloody point of accepting posix regular expressions but not "extended" posix regular expressions.

(surprisingly many tools do this, for no discernible reason)

e.g. inotifywait, severely limiting the usefulness of the important -exclude option without good reason

RE: social.vivaldi.net/@everton137

Has anyone here come across Venezuelans on the Fediverse? I personally know only one Venezuelan refugee, and they live in Brazil.

If we don’t have a meaningful presence from the Global South or from other vulnerable regions, that, to me, exposes one of the key limitations of this social space.

Are we, in fact, just a small, relatively privileged group talking mostly among ourselves?

@fasnix @C_OttenburgCarola Ottenburg @kaffeeringeSteffen Voß Installing Google apps on GrapheneOS installs those as regular sandboxed apps with no special access or privileges whatsoever exactly like any other apps you install. GrapheneOS provides a compatibility layer enabling Google Play to run as sandboxed apps in the standard app sandbox. A common misconception is that we provide a special sandbox for it or that it requires using a secondary user, work profile or Private Space in order to contain it. That's optional.

Super Talk von Meredith Whittaker und Udbhav Tiwari von Signal über die Gefahren und Probleme von "agentic AI", also Hilfsprogramme, die mittels "KI" Aufgaben erledigen sollen.

Spoiler: things are broken, eh klar.

Faire la morale, la morale chrétienne, être moralisateur, donneur de leçon : la morale a mauvaise presse.

Mais j’ai l’impression que quand on parle d’éthique, les gens entendent ou comprennent morale.

Alors que pour moi, la morale, c’est surplombant, inflexible, top-down, alors que l’éthique, c’est un chantier permanent, une réflexion, notamment sur ce qui est moral ou non, personnel et donc bottom-up.

Et l’intégrité, c’est être fidèle à son éthique.

Bref, pour vous :
