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.

Been thinking a lot about @algernonI'm in my database, and I don't like it's recent post on FLOSS and LLM training. The frustration with AI companies is spot on, but I wonder if there's a different strategic path. Instead of withdrawal, what if this is our GPL moment for AI—a chance to evolve copyleft to cover training? Tried to work through the idea here: Histomat of F/OSS: We should reclaim LLMs, not reject them.

My CPAP machine seems to be breaking, which I suspect is related to me not changing the filter enough the first few months that I had it >.>

I hope I don’t have to pay through the nose for this but as long as I get a new one soon I’ll be happy. I can see such a huge difference in myself when I don’t use it versus when I do.

NEW, by me: A hacking campaign targeted high-profile Gmail and WhatsApp users across the Middle East this week, sent as a phishing lure over WhatsApp.

I obtained a copy of the phishing page and analyzed it with the help of experts. The attack aimed to steal passwords, hijack WhatsApp accounts, and grab victims' location data.

But a bug in the code also *exposed* victims' data, allowing us to see dozens of people who had fallen victim.

これ森山元幹事長にいろいろ突っ込んで聞いていておもしろかったけど、これ見ると石破とか自民党内のリベラル寄りはいずれ中道改革に合流する可能性がありそうという印象になった。今回はさすがにないだろうけど。もしそうなると自民は一気に多様性を失って国民政党みたいなものではなくなりそう。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14cLwTb8xrg

진짜 저도 이해 불가능합니다. 재판을 처음 넘어간게 초범이라니… 실제 저지를 범죄/죄의 횟수 다 따지는게 맞다고 개인적으로 생각합니다. 예: A. 한번 가정폭력 휘둘렀음 —> (초범 인정) B. 78번 가정폭력 휘둘렀음 —> (이건 처음 재판가도 78범으로 쳐야죠 초범이 아니라)

Periodic reminder: I've already said many times that I think Fediverse (or at least a future flavor of it) wins in the end. It's too asymmetrically powerful in its ability to resist centralized pressure from very rich fashy tech bros. The inter-instance infighting and Fediverse drama of the month that we lament, is actually its strength.

This has very little to do with *technical* decentralization. It is about *social* decentralization. Mastodon mega instances are not socially decentralized. But the human building blocks for evolving to many smaller instances, are there.

And every time another social media platform messes up, there is a net flow of users towards alternatives, usually Fediverse, but often other platforms too. So if BlueSky does one day flip and turn just like Twitter, there will be a flow from there to here too.

So yay, Fediverse wins in the end. But we're not at the end. We're not even in the middle. Fediverse is still not ready to be the place.

There are things to learn from BlueSky. I'm not interested in having a debate on this with anyone. If you don't think that there is anything to learn, then fine. I respect your opinion. But please keep that opinion out of my mentions.

If you're selfish enough to think "Fediverse works for me, and don't really care if millions of Black people aren't welcome here, and therefore have to use other platforms that also mistreat them," also fine. But again, please keep that opinion out of my mentions. I'm not Charlie Kirk and I'm not Steven Crowder. I don't want to debate you. I don't want to try to change your mind. And you won't change mine.

Because nothing you say will get me to stop supporting Fediverse and ATProto safety projects.

I'm stubborn like that.

Do you want to use data in your programs? Make queries? Even perform some vector searches? I have just published an article and a repo on how to make queries from Rust using the 'oracle' crate.

If you ever want to change servers you can move your Mastodon account to a different Mastodon server. There's a step-by-step guide to account transfers at:

➡️ fedi.tips/transferring-your-ma

Moving lets you keep your followers, follows, bookmarks, lists, mutes and blocks. Your old account's posts remain intact on the old server, and (if you follow the guide's instructions) they redirect people to your new account.

wo will man denn grad Server abseits von Hetzner haben? Ich hab noch sonen ollen netcup-Server für Backups und Monitoring rumliegen (die man ja gerüchteweise nicht beim selben Provider und auch nicht im selben DZ will), aber das Netcup-Webinterface ist, äh, ja. Es existiert, oder genauer gesagt: sie existieren.

Anyway, brauche primär etwas Platz für Backups + minimal Saft für son Grafana.

WP group actor ID URL encoded?

julian @julian@activitypub.space

<p>Hi <a href="https://mastodon.social/@pfefferle">@<bdi>pfefferle@mastodon.social</bdi></a>, I was trying to figure out something else (which I'll ask in a separate topic), and then went down a rabbit-hole when I discovered I could no longer find @notiz.blog (:point_left: see, no link!)</p> <p>NodeBB was unable to retrieve the Group actor because the webfinger response notes its' ID as <code>https://notiz.blog/%40notiz.blog</code>; note the <code>%40</code>. Possibly related, the actor self-reports its own ID as that value as well.</p>

Not sure what went wrong training the Xcode autocompletion model but it routinely attempts to access a CGPoint's x/y coordinate through `point.dictionaryRepresentation["x"] as! CGFloat` for me.

我覺得現代的犯罪側寫還有很大進步空間

比如我今天無差別殺人的話,大概還是會被歸類成生活孤僻、不愛交際、原生家庭關係不好、事業學業成績普通…之類

但我就是這樣平凡在街邊可以一把抓的人而已
