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.

As hyped as Claude Code + Obsidian is, I have no desire to upload my personal unencrypted vault data to Anthropic or anyone else.

I hope that the ideas of private inference and confidential computing that Moxie described take off. It's how all LLMs should work.

Confidential computing
This is the domain of confidential computing. Confidential computing uses hardware-enforced isolation to run code in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). The host machine provides CPU, memory, and power, but cannot access the TEE’s memory or execution state.

LLMs are fundamentally stateless—input in, output out—which makes them ideal for this environment. For Confer, we run inference inside a confidential VM. Your prompts are encrypted from your device directly into the TEE using Noise Pipes, processed there, and responses are encrypted back. The host never sees plaintext.

But this raises an obvious concern: even if we have encrypted pipes in and out of an encrypted environment, it really matters what is running inside that environment. The client needs assurance that the code running is actually doing what it claims.

종교에 대한 의견

사실 기독교의 성경주의에 대해서...
성경을 제 입맛대로 해석하지않고 거기 있는 행위들 진짜 따르는 사람에 대해서는 별로 악감정없다.
“완전한 사람이 되려거든, 네 재산을 모두 팔아 가난한 사람에게 나누어주거라” 라던지

Does anyone happen to own an ATM that they’re willing to sell? Preferably NCR or Wincor/Diebold Nixdorf. I‘m based in Hamburg and the ATM is mainly intended for . Will also take only parts or broken or ancient ATMs as well. Very long shot but worth a try :)

🌗 網紅與 OnlyFans 模特兒正主導 O-1 簽證申請:「這就是現在的美國夢」
➤ 從演算法到綠卡:解析網紅如何憑藉社羣影響力獲取「傑出人才」簽證
theguardian.com/us-news/2026/j
過去曾被視為專屬於好萊塢巨星、頂尖運動員或科學家的美國 O-1「傑出人才」簽證,如今正迎來一批全新的申請主力:社羣媒體網紅、電競選手與內容創作者。隨著數位經濟崛起,美國政府在 2014 至 2024 年間核發的 O-1 簽證數量激增了 50%。這些申請者正巧妙地將龐大的粉絲追蹤數、可觀的訂閱收入以及數位平臺的市場影響力,轉化為符合法規要求的「傑出能力」證明。律師與創作者均指出,這不僅反映了美國移民政策正逐步適應演算法時代,更重新定義了當代取得美國永久居留權的門檻與途徑。
+ 「沒想到 100 萬粉絲現在能跟奧運獎牌發揮同樣的移民效力,時代真的變了。」
+ 「這對於有才華但非傳統領域的人來說是好事,但也讓人思考『傑出』的定義是否過於商業化。」

Watching them all fall in line to brazenly lie to protect their new secret police/terror squads from accountability for shooting a scared mom in the face 3 times, is a reminder (in case we still needed one) that it’s no where near enough to just replace Trump. It’s the entire immoral & corrupt GOP.

Hi, I’m José. Just moved over from Twitter.

I’m a software engineer based in the UK. At work I build distributed systems in Rust; outside work I experiment with languages and systems programming, and I read a lot (classics, sci-fi, history). My blog is linked in my profile (recently migrated from GitHub to Codeberg).

I love talking about low-level code, performance, and distributed systems, and anything book related.

Feel free to say hi, and I’m always happy to receive book recommendations.

Health Canada suddenly being really good.

> Confirms that SARS2 transmits w/o symptoms

> Confirms it hangs in the air and is primarily spread via breathing

> Recommends correct filtration and masking

> Confirms it passes to your pets and that you should mask around them when sick

This is honestly the best guidance I've seen from a gov't agency in several years. Very pleased, tbh.

Here's the part on air quality:

Demain, c'est le grand jour, et je suis dans mes petits souliers !

Sans Pitié, le film auquel j'ai modestement participé, réalisé par Julien Hosmalin (qui va réaliser cette année Nous rêvions juste de liberté) sort en salle ! C'est un film sombre mais magnifique, avec des comédiens bouleversants, et si vous voulez nous soutenir allez-y dès les premiers jours ! Le monde du cinéma est lui aussi... sans pitié !!

Important news regarding our use of Twitter: Owing to the current circumstances, we have taken the decision to stop using our Twitter account. We cannot in good conscience continue to use a platform which is linked to image-based sexual harassment and violence, and AI-generated child sexual abuse material.

Owing to the current circumstances, we have taken the decision to stop using our Twitter account. We cannot in good conscience continue to use a platform which is linked to image-based sexual harassment and violence, and AI-generated child sexual abuse material. 

Over the years, we have had a largely positive experience on Twitter, and used the platform to extend our educational work outside of the physical walls of the museum. This has meant the world to us and enabled us to build a community. 

However, under present circumstances, we are ceasing activity on this platform. We will review our stance if circumstances change. You can connect with us on Mastodon, Bluesky and Instagram. Our social links are in our bio.

We'd like to thank our community on Twitter for all of their support over the years, and we hope to see you on the other side. Our doors are also open to come and visit the Vagina Museum - admission is free! 

Ovary and out, 
The Vagina Museum team x
