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.
@lwnLWN.net is currently under the heaviest scraper attack seen yet. It is a DDOS attack involving tens of thousands of addresses, and that is affecting the responsiveness of the site, unfortunately.Here are some thoughful words on community, the "forkiverse" and the fediverse more generally from

중국이 해외 AI를 활용해서, 미성년자가 성적인 대화를 할 수 있게 개조한 서비스를 제공한 개발자와 운영자를 체포, 4년/18개월 징역을 먹였습니다.

중국 법원은 이 서비스가 음란물이라고 판결했습니다. 조사 결과 피고인들은 성능향상이 아니라 섹텐을 위해 시스템을 튜닝했다고.

this was very annoying yesterday, twenty bucks feels low, but i have no idea what a fair dollar amount for one day of cellular inconvenience should be.

something i didn't realize was a problem until like the last year is that when i say "infrared", half of the people reading it will go "yep, that's right, near infrared in the range of 750 nm to 1500 nm that shows up on silicon sensors" and the other half will go "yep, that's right, far infrared in the range of 1500 nm to 1 mm that shows up on microbolometers" (qualifying it as "NIR" or "LWIR" does not help very much in my experience)
@whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ Free-space communication using anything longer than 1.2um (e.g. 1550nm SFP modules) might be quite unlikely to be detected, due to invisibility to Si cameras. The government where I live believes itself entitled to regulate all communication via infrared, but has graciously granted the public a licence to use TV remotes, perhaps to gratify themselves that they are not being disobeyed. The power limit of 125mW probably means that many hot objects are illegal to communicate with.

ActivityPub standardization is back! The #W3C just announced a new Working Group to evolve #ActivityPub and #ActivityStream and related standards! This is extremely good news. It's not like all the world's federated social media protocol problems were already solved! lists.w3.org/Archive...
Very often theorems with short statements have long proofs, but, occasionally, useful theorems have statements that are longer than their proofs, and, moreover, where it is more difficult to understand the statement than the proof.

I missed designing languages. https://ooc-lang.github.io/ was back in 2009!! 17 years ago! The language I'm making now is not a programming language but it's still really nice to design.
anyway it's been half a day of posting about gas town, expect me to not post much about it after this. just kinda wanted to get this out there.

I hope #Wikimedia got something good out of this, otherwise it feels a lot like extortion. "Give us direct access to your data or we're going to scrape the shit outta your site over and over and over until you go broke paying for data transfers." I mean, logically this kind of deal makes sense to avoid the constant data scraping, but wow it feels like they're getting screwed in the deal unless there's some part of the arrangement that isn't public yet.
