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.
I wrote a photo essay with 20+ of my favourite tech museums in the world, and tried to figure out what makes a great museum in the process.
I am very curious what tech museums you like – and why!
(Will work on any device, but worth checking out on the biggest screen you or your neighbour might have.)
It's my first Fediversary! Still happy to be here, no regrets leaving IG--in fact, it's been a relief.

Maybe you want to boycott U.S. products. Or you’re concerned about security and privacy. Or you’ve seen the Trump administration retaliate against political enemies by cutting off their access to U.S.-based digital services and don’t want to be vulnerable to the same sanctions.
Whatever the reason, you may find this very useful. https://www.threads.com/@parismarx/post/DTGdaPDkpos
latam, war, Greenland, domestic violence as a metaphor
it still feels infuriating how when one year ago when Trump started talking of invasion everyone was like "blustering", "impossible", "distraction from Epstein" etc. and I was like, this is war, this is how war happens, there's a process until you get a country to bomb and what he's doing *right now*, these statements, these are parts of the process, we're going to see war. and now that several ships have been blown up in violation of every norm and nobody did anything, now that he has bombed the capital of a lat-am country and kidnapped the president with the express purpose of appropriating resources and nobody did anything, *now* people act as if they never called me crazy/doomer/news-obsessed etc. for saying, this is war, we're going to war.
I guess at least *now* people aren't doubting anymore that Greenland and Canada are on the menu too, though you did call me crazy when I said "this is real" the very first time Trump started joking about Greenland and Canada. look, if the boyfriend of your friend starts joking about punching him if he runs his mouth again, you have to understand that his joking is already the process that leads to backhand slaps happening. the violence doesn't happen overnight. the violence is built, and the words is how you build it.
oh my, it's only the 5th day of the new year. i'm already exhausted.

I would love getting the address of the rss-feed.
@himmelssohn It'll be on https://journal.bsd.cafe, I am an authorized contributor, I just haven't gotten off my ass and done a post yet - I think there is an RSS feed for it,

Okay, 2026 is the year I am going to actually get back into writing.
I have three ideas for articles lined up.
1) Advanced, and often crazy, networking under FreeBSD.
2) MPLS on JunOS in my home, the how and why.
3) A brief history of IP Networking; Classful vs CIDR and FLSM vs VLSM.
Now I just gotta do it.

I can't honestly say I have any sympathy for people who feel betrayed by #GitHub, considering that GitHub has always been a #proprietary platform.
If you are a #FOSS coder, why on Earth would you ever host your FOSS code on a non-FOSS #infrastructure system??
It's a recipe for betrayal. Andreesen Horowitz invested $100M USD in GitHub all the way back in 2012, and *now* you're upset?? #VultureCapital

#Optique 0.9.0 is here!
This release brings #async/await support to #CLI parsers. Now you can validate input against external resources—databases, APIs, Git repositories—directly at parse time, with full #TypeScript type safety.
The new @optique/git package showcases this: validate branch names, tags, and commit SHAs against an actual Git repo, complete with shell completion suggestions.

Periodic reminder that RSA had Kristi Noem keynote last year, and as the 'will you be at RSA?' emails start to roll in, the answer is of course, 'hell to the fucking no'.
I want to mumble for a bit about "worldbuilding". Of course the term is vague and disputed, but I find a lot of folks seem to think in terms of 'players/readers that like it and those that don't'.
I think this idea is a bad one, because I hear devs talking about making worldbuilding stuff for that group, or avoiding it because of the other group.
Seems like a bad way to organize your process.
Worldbuilding is useful in specific ways, and useless if done without those goals. 🧵

Does anyone know what other Swift conferences happening during the year in the United States? I always remember the One More Thing Conference in California but I thought there were others. Looking to perhaps attend something else this year (or at least use it as an excuse to get out of the bad Chicago weather for a few days).
