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.
We're trying to gauge interest in developer events around local-first. If you're curious about adding local-first collaboration to your apps, which event format would you you prefer?
The Reflection team is currently planning priorities for the next months, and we're interested in what developers would need to get started using the p2panda stack to add collaboration to their apps. For this, it'd be helpful to know how important GObject bindings are to you:
i'm really thankful to be working for the kind of studio where one of my duties as a team lead is to remind my team not to crunch under any circumstances
... 어르신들이 많이 당하는것 같긴함 ㅋㅋㅋ 사기꾼에게 털리는 과정과 비슷한데 너무 말을 잘하고 신뢰를 쌓았으니 홀라당 넘어가는것;; 근데 모든 AI의 시작 즉 기업이 대규모로 투자했던것이 의료와 국방인것을 생각해보면 아마 이쪽은 빠르게 해결될것 같긴합니다 모두 이분야는 돈이 된다는것을 잘 알고 있고 실제로 느낄정도로 효과가 확실하고 그래서 어떻게든 해결해보려고 함.

Forty years ago, 21 people gathered for the first meeting of what became the Internet Engineering Task Force or #IETF . Every day billions of people use the open standards and technologies developed in the IETF. And nearly 8000 volunteer IETF participants from around the world collaborate in more than 100 working groups evolving those open standards and making the Internet work better!
What I'm listening to today: "First Encounter", Dissonant Witchcraft
A video showing off the "Antilope", a cryptic sound-making artifact by Manifold Research Centre (trade name for a designer formerly of Instruo, who before that… made wine? In transalpine Italy?).
Still Arctic landscapes, a stark sound collage in the shape of an industrial downtempo piece, clicky FM drums and metallic swells, standing on the freeway median as insectoid Things rush by. A loss of balance
What I'm listening to today: "SNWthr", Isobutane
Isobutane is known as "that guy who uses the Yamaha RS7000" and the Yamaha RS7000, honestly, is probably primarily known as "that weird old synth Isobutane uses". Here a series of cryptic machine noises sculpted into a techno piece, the way you imagine a computer from the 1940s would sound while operating, except the computer is sincerely attempting to make you dance. Scrunchy

Buenas tardes, necesito ayuda informática urgente. Actualicé Windows 11 (y no me deja desinstalar la última actualización) y ya no tengo forma de conectar dispositivos por bluetooth y no me va mi wifi principal, conecta pero no carga absolutamente nada.
He reiniciado router, el dispositivo deco, intenté desinstalar la actualización, hice movidas de limpiar la caché desde Símbolo de sistema... ¿sabéis que puedo hacer además de prenderle fuego a todo e instalar Linux Mint?
EDIT: Con la última actualización de Windows decidió usar las mismas configuraciones de DNS en todas las redes por eso unas van y otras no. Evidentemente que lo ha hecho porque patatas.
Ah, lo del bluetooth se solucionó sólo, porque en windows las cosas van por santería y magia vudú.
EDIT2: Con el edit anterior quise explicar que ya está, pero no se entiende bien, pero que vaya, ya está solucionado y espero poder disfrutar de mi ordenador este finde.

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.

Registrations on #holos are now open. Keep in mind this is a beta, your feedback helps us build this project.
It has two components: the App (hosts its own ActivityPub server) and the Relay (provides stable identity).
For advanced users: the relay supports CNAME records, allowing you to use your own domain. This makes you independent from the relay, which becomes just infrastructure.

I'm preparing the FreeBSD booth for the Fosdem, and plan to bring a RPI4 + a screen with some FreeBSD stuff installed in.
I have not that much idea of what's could be interesting to show or just makes sense so *ideas are welcome*.
oh look another Fortinet flaw
Ah, the indifference with which I get to let $DAYJOB know that the temporary snapshot of the pre-transformation data I'd kept up for a couple days in case they wanted to revert it, because the company (or Microsoft) forces updates and system restarts, that information disappeared with their reboot. Had they mentioned it yesterday, I could have pretty readily restored the data.
If you force reboots that destroy in-process work—yes, the issue I've mentioned countless times—it can cause lost work/data. Mmhmm, it bit you again. 😑
Finally posted my write-up on getting OpenBSD booting on my Chromebook:

"Your prompts remain private while using our AI" isn't the pro-privacy statement most AI companies seem to believe it to be.
What about the data of the subjects you used to train your AI model? Did you ask consent from all of them? What's that? Your product isn't possible if you ask for consent first?
Well, it's definitely not private then.
Duckduckgo has a survey for pro/anti-AI and I cackled so hard at the (current) results
Appreciating Nick Pope's review comments on django/django again this morning.
Folk wanting to level up their Python chops would learn something from reading/studying these reviews.
@fediversereportConnected Places I think that's a really healthy structure. I think it's likely that the Working Group will be focused on upkeep and maintenance of the core docs (ActivityPub and Activity Streams), and the Community Group will work on broader applications of the protocol through extensions.
@fediversereportConnected Places I hope people in the ActivityPub community put the invited expert policy to the test. There's a good explanation of the IE role here:
https://www.w3.org/invited-experts/
I would be really surprised if qualified ActivityPub specialists are turned down for IE roles!
Fun aside, but I guess that's the end of taking the Nobel Price for Peace seriously.

There's a lot of chatter here in Minneapolis about a far-right group staging a hate rally / “march” / attack on Saturday — and a lot of confusion about what the targeted community is asking in response.
If you want to rush in and play hero, STOP.
If you heard “don't go downtown, don't do anything,” also STOP.
The targeted community has a specific and nuanced request for us all. The information here is the best summary I've heard. Please take a moment to read.

Do you believe that Clearview AI, a facial recognition company that scraped more than 20 billions images from social media platforms and the internet, without consent from the subjects, to sell their product to law enforcement and government agencies, is a privacy-respectful product because it does respect the privacy of its users?
it was inspired by @whitep4nth3r.com@bsky.brid.gy (aren't we all?) though the implementation is probably very different

just added bluesky comments to my blog posts ✨ it auto-discovers when I've shared an article on bluesky and pulls in the replies as comments ... so you can reply on bluesky and it will show up on the blog (for example: roe.dev/blog/the-go...)
@fediversereportConnected Places So, I think this is a really interesting article, and I agree that participation and representation matter here.
I hope that more ActivityPub implementers step up to become W3C members. There are several funded nonprofits and commercial organizations that could probably afford it. I'd recommend that people who use ActivityPub software let the software creators know that they should participate in the WG process!
@fediversereportConnected Places
I think all of the editors and authors of ActivityPub and Activity Streams in the previous iteration of the working group were "invited experts", except one (
@jasnellJames M Snell ). One of the chairs (me) was as an invited expert.
The chairs (
@tantek.comTantek Çelik , 
@lehorsArnaud J Le Hors and I) had a "knock to get invited" policy: anyone who expressed interest in participating in the working group was invited to join. I can't remember a situation where we turned someone down.
Just a random butt from the archives…
