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.

Promotion post: I’ve been building @incise for nearly a year now, and I like how it’s shaping up. Now, I’m looking for your feedback! I want to keep the ethos similar to Mastodon, Pixelfed, and others from the family.

Incise is a federated network for designers and artists to share and showcase their work, get new contacts and leads directly.

Head over to the site, sign up, post, and send me your feedback please.

Boosts are appreciated!

So, the Fediverse is going to be chock full of updates from Brussels for FOSDEM and EU Open Source Week this week.

I know that can lead to some FOMO if you wish you could be there too. There will be live streaming and lots of updates on the related hashtags.

We have a lot of other events throughout the year, around the world. Fediforum does a great job tracking Fediverse-related events:

fediforum.org/events/

I know there will be mean-spirited attacks from the usual suspects, trying to make Fediverse developers and enjoyers feel bad for getting together and talking about the things we love.

Every movement has its gatekeepers who don't want to do anything, but also want to keep the rest of us from doing anything, either. 🤷🏽

But I hope for people who actually care about the Fediverse, you know that you're wanted in this movement, and we can find ways to connect.

I knew this was going to happen, TikTok US being sold to Oracle and others.

This literally means all TikTok data gets sent and processed in the USA, even if you're not in the USA.

If only someone thought of building a better alternative that isn't funded by another US based billionaire like SkyLight is.

If only...

Paul Krugman:
"It has been clear for a long time, to anyone willing to see, that the people running the federal government — Trump, Miller, Noem, Bovino and more — are monsters. It has been equally obvious that ICE and the Border Patrol are now filled with sadistic thugs. Yet many people — almost the entire GOP, everyone serving in the Trump administration, some Democrats, a significant part of the media — were too cowardly to admit the obvious."

This is quite lovely. I remember deathcrash being the first (socially distanced) gig I've seen after Covid restrictions were partially lifted, in a Hackney church.

And I can't help loving a chorus that goes "this is shytown all the way" ❤️

In November 2023 I ordered four Kasa Smart light switches. I intended to install them over the holidays in 2023. Last weekend I installed 3 of the 4 I had purchased. Today I *finally* installed the last one. Why did I wait so long to install them? Not really sure … it was actually super straight forward. Guess I just needed to do the first one in order to finally get them all done. Anyway, peace has been reestablished in my home as everyone can use light switches as intended now 😁

Next week is European Open Source Week in Brussels, culminating in FOSDEM 2026 on the weekend. There are several important ways to stay connected to the Fediverse while you're visiting this week! Mastodon maintains a booth at FOSDEM throughout the weekend. It's a great place to get Mastodon merch or take a selfie with the Mastodon team. The Social Web Dev Room is a day-long event on Jan 31 in room H.2215 with loads of talks about Fediverse software and Fediverse organizing. There will be a […]
