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.

is there a macOS application that can do basic audio routing/mixing? e.g., mix these inputs and send the audio to this output, then send this other input to a different output. something like Cantabile (for Windows), if anyone knows that.

at the moment i use Logic to do this, but it's rather overkill for something this basic.

I made a new version of the Snake game in

I used to draw each body segment with it's own X operator, but suddenly I realized that I need only 2 - X for printing the char and X for erasing it. ​The tip of the tail receives the coordinates of the head with a delay, and this delay = the length of the snake.

Using enough Q operators I can make the maximum length of the snake as long as I want without worrying that Orca can only count to 35, it feels like cheating.

Howdy, happy to be here! Long time developer, coder, experimenter. Enjoy building self hosted local AI systems ala llama/StableDiff, messin' with linux, python, C, lora mesh, meshtastic, mesh core and alls that open source goodness.

Ultimately enjoy disconnecting and spending time in and/or living in the deep woods.

Few months ago, i promised myself that my code should be in the operating system i use.

I have a modified Linux kernel that i run . But that will never make it in mainline because i will need to go through a gazillion repos to check i did not break something.

With FreeBSD it took me months to learn the structure and get patches merged.

How i did it ?

1) I upgraded to 16-CURRENT
2) I targeted the region that nobody likes to touch => Drivers.

it boring, cause lot of kernel panic (Reboots) , but that taught me lot about the industry, expecially how some vendors will add complexity for the sake of complexity.

---

One of my initial fear was that i will get rejected or roasted by the maintainer because 'the driver is fine or hardware is 10-15 year old).

It did not happen. in fact, i learn more C coding from those review (I'm a ruby dev, so lot of optimisations is not a concern there)

Today, i'm targeting Realtek drivers.

요즘 스레드에 RSA-2048을 해독했다는 양반이 있어서 글을 처음부터 끝까지 정독했다.

그리고 코드 없이 개념적으로 가능한지 따져봄. 이 사람의 주장은 너무 중구난방이라 깔끔하게 한줄로 요약하면 이렇다.

"d = | q - p | 의 d(거리)가 0에 수렴할수록 RSA가 깨질 가능성이 높아진다."

그리고 이건 얼추 사실은 맞음.

거리가 가까워질수록 Fermat's Factorization를 이용한 공격이 가능해지고, 이와 관련된 공식 취약점 CVE (예: CVE-2022-26320)도 존재한다.

참고로 어려운게 아니라 고등과정 곱셈 공식 중 하나다.

RSA-2048에서는 사실상 불가능하고, RSA-256 수준에선 가능할 수 있다. (RSA-2048은 특정 조건 만족시 가능)

RSA-2048을 풀었다고 주장하시는 분이 올린 코드를 봤을 때, 그냥 q를 저장해놓고 n mod q 먹여서 0이 되는지 확인하고 p를 유도하는 것임.

그냥 답지가지고 장난치는거라 생각하면 된다.

그치만 너무 많은 데이터가 들어가면 복잡해지기는 무슨 개재밌음 기계장치의 가열된 배기가 새어나오는 소리랑 한숨이랑 비슷하지 않나 사실 원리적으로는 비슷할지도 이런 생각하는데 당연히 재밌지

I've been boycotting Samsung for years now. People outside Korea often seem surprised when I mention this—after all, Samsung is one of the most recognizable Korean brands globally. So let me explain.

It started after I read Think Samsung (三星(삼성)을 생각한다) by Kim Yong-chul, a former Samsung lawyer turned whistleblower. The book exposed systematic corruption, slush funds, and how the conglomerate wielded its influence to evade accountability. It painted a picture of a company that operated as if it were above the law.

But what pushed me from mere dislike to active boycott was the 2015 merger between Samsung C&T and Cheil Industries. This wasn't just questionable corporate governance—it was engineered to help Lee Jae-yong consolidate control of the Samsung empire. The merger ratio heavily undervalued Samsung C&T, and the National Pension Service, despite its fiduciary duty to Korean citizens, voted in favor of it. Korean pensioners lost billions.

The whole affair later became central to the corruption scandal that brought down President Park Geun-hye. Lee Jae-yong was convicted of bribery. And yet Samsung continues as if nothing happened.

I'm under no illusion that my personal boycott hurts Samsung in any meaningful way. But some things aren't about effectiveness. They're about not being complicit.

:blob_keyboard:おしらせ:blob_e_guitar:
ここ半年くらい居させていただいた「おとすきー」という音楽サーバーが2/22に閉鎖するため、ユーザーがコンピレーションアルバム配布の企画を立ち上げてくださいました
:ablobcatnodmeltcry:
そのアルバムのジャケットイラストを描かせていただいたので、ここでもお知らせしておきます
:blobcat_gu1:描かれているのは「おとすきーくん」というマスコットキャラです。

こちらから見れます〜!

アルバム自体はダウンロードの無料配布なので、また配布されるようになったらお知らせしますね!

13 years ago this evening, I sat down with some old friends of Aaron Swartz and together we actually looked through the filings in his criminal case.

We came away feeling, actually, pretty good. He clearly had some good representation; they were tearing pretty thoroughly into the government prosecutor’s arguments. We thought things were looking good for him. We thought he could actually win.

The next morning I was awoken by a terrible phone call.
