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.

Now officially shopping for an organization, ideally in Canada but absolutely out of US jurisdiction (Europe OK), to provide Web & DNS support. We have a few mostly-dormant WordPress blogs and static sites, a bunch of identity-supporting DNS records, and that's about it. Nothing very high-traffic, should be an easy ask. Would prefer something that demonstrates resilience and stability by having been around a few years.

So today and all week, Minneapolis has been on edge because some J6 Nazi type staged a Saturday hate rally downtown. They were going to “march” into a neighborhood with a large East African population, but…well, things didn’t exactly go according to their plan.

I haven’t been posting a lot about it today, because I wanted to keep the response local. But I’ve been gathering reports from the ground and folks watching live video, and I think we’ve reached the point where I can share some choice excerpts.

Habe den ersten Abend im Fediverse verbracht 🤓 und hatte viel Spaß 👍. Hab Content erstellt, 15 Follower kamen dazu. 37 interessanten Accounts folge ich. Einer guter Anfang.

Die Atmosphäre ist so freundlich, offen, vernünftig. Wie eine Insel im Meer des Irrsinns. Aufatmen nach der Vergiftung durch US Plattformen.

Its a well known fact that the 4 CPU architectures are x86-64, aarch64, riscv64, and s390x

Nobody has ever actually directly observed s390x but, like dark matter, we can infer its existence through compiler support

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

What I'm listening to today: "FREE ROLEYS", Westside Gunn feat. Benny The Butcher

I've been listening a lot to Griselda, a hip hop clique/record label in Buffalo founded by Gunn here. On this track Griselda's distinctive house style (oldschool lofi beats with an uncanny gloss) gets pushed to an almost surreal level, like you're listening to a horror movie soundtrack or a live field recording from Hell. Blood in your mouth taste delicious, stay vicious

Man kann gegen einen Schulhofbully oder einen Erpresser nicht mit Nachgeben gewinnen.

Irgendwann muss man eine Grenze setzen, die Frage ist nur, ob das nach der ersten oder nach der zehnten Zahlung geschieht.

Ob das nach Grönland, nach Island oder nach Helgoland geschieht.

Und man muss dem Aggressor auch irgendwann die Maskerade nehmen. Nicht mehr nach außen so tun, als gäbe man freiwillig. Den Brutalo als Brutalo erkennbar machen.

I saw a video about ‘Singaporean chefs working in top S.F restaurants’ and one of them says ‘there are too many labor laws in California’

My wife and I burst out laughing because it’s so typical (they were saying that they, as employees, did not want a 30 min break)

Our society has basically brainwashed us into thinking that overwork is normal and the only self worth one can have is how much other people think you are a success.

After many years of being away (and frankly being an oddball when I was there) it’s still very much baked into my DNA and it’s very hard to escape this ‘need for achieving’ and ‘disregarding what it does to you’ as the cost of it

Is there anyway to disable SwiftData’s History tracking?

I know there are hacks to delete it once it’s saved and that you lose a lot of “free” SwiftData features (like undo/redo, multiprocess access, and CloudKit sync to name a few), but my app doesn’t use those and most disk I/O is taken up by just maintaining/saving the history!

A graph of my app’s resource usage. CPU hovers near 0% while Disk usage is consistently high. It’s heating up my iPhone!

I'm doing my best to migrate my databases off DigitalOcean's managed platform. It has served me well over the last 4 or 5 years with no regrets.

I created a tool, I'm calling PG Hub, which makes it much easier to create a new user + database from a website and even returns a formatted DATABASE_URL.

Today, I shipped a dozen features for it, including the first backup, restore, and copy-to-another-database tool that I don't hate.
