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.

Current status: doing extremely "I don't know what I'm really doing, I'm copying from a website¹" things with Linux tc to see if I can improve my home Internet latency under load without doing too much damage to bandwidth or breaking my firewall rules. So far, it seems to work and things² claim to like the result.

Me @ me every SINGLE afternoon at the preprogrammed time we set the robot vacuum to run the past 3 years: the robot vacuum can't hurt you. the robot vacuum has to make that noise to run. the robot vacuum can't hurt you. the robot vacuum doesn't know you're overstimulated. the robot vacuum can't

Robin Sloan asserts (provocatively) that AGI is already here (and has been for a few years). “We’ve got this ubiquitous term, Artificial General Intelligence, & it appears that the Artificial Intelligence has become Really Very General, so … ?” robinsloan.com/winter-garden/a

@zkatkat I appreciate the intent behind this because the free software project I dedicated most of my life (MediaWiki) to is actively used by the CIA (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellip) to do bad and illegal things. But I've yet to see someone provide an anti-MIC licensing provision that practically works in today's world where everything is unfortunately tied up in MIC. I am not sure if it's even possible to exist in modern (Western) society without being complicit in some kind of war crime.

mozilla: we just don’t know how to satisfy our users’ demands for “no AI”, after all what is AI? translation? spellchecking? TLS? if we start slopcoding features will they demand we disable those too? so many gray areas!

firefox users: if it’s not core browsing functionally make it an add-on that isn’t installed by default. and then consider not writing the add-on if it turns out nobody wants it.

mozilla: I know what I’ll do! I’ll write a poll where one of the options is 🤷, that’ll fix it!

European Union needs to get its shit together and man the fuck up. The US is giving it a powerful growth engine for the next decades (aka replace all American tech crap). It's time to not be afraid and show some balls. Yes, it's not cost free (it might cost a lot!), it might end up in lots of dead people, but we have been here twice already. Rise up European Union, tell Trump to fuck off and fight for our future.

Less than a month left until the Free and Open Source Software Developers’ European Meeting (FOSDEM)!

With over 900 events already announced, here's my little companion web app that works on desktop and can be installed on mobile to help you with the planning: fosdem.sojourner.rocks/2026

New features this year (more improvement suggestions welcome):
- Speaker biographies (click on the person's name or visit the speakers page).
- Bookmark export.

@zkatkat I've been thinking along those lines as well, not as carefully or as deeply, to be sure, but one of the pieces that got me down that road is that there's no way with AGPLv3 to express the constraint that "if you scrape this work for AI training, copyright can't stop you, but you lose the benefits of the license." That feels like it points to a pretty fundamental limitation with the intellectual framing of *GPL licenses — Freedom Zero was a mistake, as you say.

RE: androiddev.social/@MishaalRahm

I feel like you have to ask yourself, what is the point of open sourcing your software like this? This also goes for companies who are antagonistic to their upstreams or “trust me bro I’ll open source it when it’s ready”. What do you think the goal of open sourcing is? And if your answer isn’t to collaborate with other people to make something you couldn’t do alone, why not?

Wow, moving from GitHub to Codeberg is cool. Haven't run Gentoo for years now but still have a soft spot for it (I learned so much running it as main driver).

I also use Codeberg für my code (and joined the association) but we can't just "move everything to Codeberg". That's neither sustainable nor a good model. We should have more associations like Codeberg to offer those kinds of services. Create a whole web of forges for collaboration while we can watch GitHub go to hell.
