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.
Did you know that science has progressed to the point that you can get your blood checked for antibodies against COVID19 and if those antibodies are coming from vaccination or infection? I do this check once a year. And the results are in. Still vaccination only. My regimen of #WearAMask and avoiding risky situations seems to work. Next year I'll order the test again. In Germany it costs around €50-75, depending on the lab. Ask your doctor to get it done. That's how I did it.

What started in late 2024 finally landed in early 2026 🎉
I now have a working PoC for #CloudNativeBuildpacks on #FreeBSD and #Podman.
Next up: revisiting the steps, simplifying them, documenting everything, and iterating until this becomes something more useful than just “Hello, world”.

New addition to the Ben Brown Society for the Preservation of Max Headroom:
"Max Headroom Incident" trading cards from "G.A.S." which makes trading cards of random pop culture things.
What’s it like living in Minneapolis / St. Paul right now?
This weekend, ICE abducted two people straight out of a car near where I live. Just straight up stopped the car and took them.
I found out because neighbors were trying to figure out what to do with the car, which ICE just left there blocking the street.

anyone got experience using deguassing wands, such as the one pictured, on CRTs that don't have built-in degaussing coils? do they work? any sage advice from arcade & retro tech enthusiasts?
the little 4-inch CRTs we used in the infopoints at EMF Camp have some nonlinear warping that isn't corrected by tweaking the deflection oscillator amplitude/phase adjustment pots, and also isn't consistent with the tube curvature, so I'm suspicious of static magnetic fields.
I've been working on a tricky problem in Optique (my CLI parser library): how do you make one option's value affect another option's validation and shell completion?
Think git -C <path> branch --delete <TAB>—the branch completions should come from the repo at <path>, not the current directory.
I think I've found a solution that fits naturally with Optique's architecture: declare dependencies between value parsers, then topologically sort them at parse time.

I'm not going to link to the domain, but I'm resizing/upgrading our database to deal with the uptick in traffic on Django Packages.
I also put the website in bot fight mode for a while.
It'll be back up soon.

Tried to use Google to find an old page on my web site, using the 'site:' qualifier. It returned no hits.
Given the amount of search engine traffic I see in the logs, that isn't Google, maybe they've just given up trying to index the web?

@stuxstux⚡ is correct: they are noobs, and they will not hide from consequences.
They will, however, get one of themselves killed — which is exactly what their bosses’ bosses want.

#hypernormalization is a powerful obstacle.
@verbraucherzentrale_sh Klar! Alle Akteure können die vielen verschiedenen social Media-Kanäle nur im Rahmen ihrer Ressourcen bespielen. Und ich finde es aus verschiedenen Gründen auch legitim, wenn man nicht komplett #FediFirst oder #FediOnly geht. Aber wenigstens eine +1-Strategie muss doch möglich sein. Gerade, wenn es um #Verbraucherschutz gehen soll! Und erst recht, wenn man sich aus öffentlichen Zuwendungen finanziert!
@verbraucherzentrale_sh Drüben bei @gerichteSH müssen wir auch öfter einmal einzelne Projekte mangels verfügbarer Arbeitskraft auf Halde legen. Aber wir kämen NIE (!) auf die Idee, die Arbeit auf Mastodon zugunsten anderer Netzwerke auszusetzen.
The frogs are already boiling.
Or are we just going to let the bosses steal and degrade our jobs, pocket the automation dividend *and* keep us occupied with full-time bullshit drudgery
The sunrise combined with the freezing cold was actually quite pretty this morning.
