What is Hackers' Pub?

Odin is spending his first night without us – he's staying with my husband's parents because there's going to be cleaning chemicals in here tomorrow and the cleaning people insisted that any pet be gone for 24 hours for their own safety.

And I am so worried 😭 my poor tiny baby 😭 okay mainly I'm worried because he's bigger and stronger than the people trying to care for him without me

"French lawmakers are preparing a renewed push to limit children’s online exposure, unveiling a proposal that would block anyone under 15 from using social media platforms.

The draft legislation, reviewed by AFP, sets September 2026 as the target date for enforcement.

President Emmanuel Macron has endorsed the plan and urged Parliament to take it up.

France’s effort follows a similar move in Australia, which recently became the first country to impose an outright ban on under-16s accessing social media.

To apply such a rule, online platforms would need to verify every user’s age at sign-up or login. This would go far beyond the current model of self-declared birthdays and instead rely on official credentials such as national IDs, driver’s licenses, or government-backed digital identity wallets.

In effect, it would introduce a form of digital ID into everyday internet use."

Finally! Europe has a politician with a spine:

Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sanchez is a signatory to the strong criticism of Trump’s illegal intervention in Venezuela, and stressing that Trump taking over Venezuelas natural resources is incompatible with international law.

- Switched my daily driver machine to the Pocket Reform
- Got a weird new keyboard and monitor setup to go with it
- Trying to run Guix on top of Debian because things aren't really ready to run Guix on top of the Pocket (or I haven't figured out how to yet)
- Guix in general is pretty far behind on ARM in terms of available packages
- Forced to finally switch to Wayland to make all this work
- Some things only work in GNOME
- Some things only work in Sway

Hands On WIth The Raspberry Pi Compute Module Zero

Want to use sed(1) to edit a file in place? Well, to replace every 'e' with
an 'o', in a file named 'foo', you can do:

sed -i.bak s/e/o/g foo

And you'll get a backup of the original in a file named 'foo.bak', but if you
want no backup:

sed -i '' s/e/o/g foo

In the light of me looking for an alternative to plasma6 some more tweaking of lxqt. It's slowly getting there... Panel on the left, some pinned apps, icon only taskmanager, systray, using Qogir icons and XFWM4 for windowmanaging and with elementary theme for xfwm4, gtk and gtk-qt5/6, (forgot how cool it looked). The wallpaper is by @orbiteOrbite / OrbiteLambda and is called "oiseau d'hiver".

The left panel with the pinned program launches and the bottom with the virtual desktop switcher are set to intellihide to get out of the way if windows get maximized

Will see if I can get DockbarX lxqt plugin to work on FreeBSD for a real dockapp handling. It doesn't seem to be in pkgs.

Now, I just have to remember what I did on this spare machine to transfer it on to my other machines...🤷‍♀️

What might a Terraform library look like in Unison, given the programming model that Unison Cloud supports?

Ever wanted a PicoGUS or PicoMEM but for PCMCIA? yyzkevin's PicoPCMCIA adds modern WiFi networking, Sound Blaster, GUS, CD-ROM, and storage to any computer with a PCMCIA slot. He's getting closer to launch and is now taking deposits for the first run of cards. https://www.yyzkevin.com/picopcmcia/

Both the Sound Blaster and CD-ROM emulation on the PicoGUS originally came from this ambitious project so it's awesome seeing it get close to done!

I've been out of the loop for a couple of years on Linux phones. I'm poking around on blogs and Mastodon posts, but I figured I'd just ask:

Whats currently (as of January 2026) the most functional, stable, boring phone + OS combination?

Edit: I have been so thrilled with the conversations! Thank you all for sharing projects, experiences, knowledge, and links! I'm also following a lot of new folks :) This post is at 400+ boosts, so no need to continue boosting :)

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
