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.

1/ I wonder how the courts will square the circle when someone shoots an ICE or Border Patrol agent stating they had the right to do so under the 2A against the backdrop of laws and consequences of shooting federal agents.

Since the 2A advocates will argue the entire point of having the right to bear arms is to protect oneself from government tyranny.

What happens when someone actually does that?

Incidentally, one of the cool/frustrating things I've learned after a decade of living in various older masonry buildings is that you actually *can't* insulate them very much without fucking up the moisture balance.

Every masonry wall takes on water through leaks and the natural porosity of the brick/stone. That moisture has to leave the wall cavity through open joints or weeps. If you've ever seen those little pieces of rope hanging off a brick building, they're to let water wick out!

Cavity walls (2000+ years old!) allow air circulation within the wall, and damp-proof courses cut off capillary action from the soil.

But the problem of moisture balance is way, WAY more complex than that. There's vapor pressure and thermal effects for each layer of the wall, and those forces change throughout the year with internal and external heating and moisture.

wbdg.org/resources/moisture-ma is hands-down the best overview I've come across for this problem.

This morning in Minneapolis:

Somebody posted in one of the local chats that their neighbor didn’t come home last night, looking for help finding them. Family doesn’t know where they are. They’d been taking the legal path to seek asylum. ICE doesn’t have their name (but that means very little; they hide names, kidnap anonymously, even discard people’s IDs).

Meanwhile, confirmed ICE sightings are ramping up in my area now after some relative early morning quiet.

Just in case you wondered how things are going here.

Well, though I'm definitely against the resources uses, I'm also not 100% against the cases where it can help. This time I tried to see how far it could help me setup a secure, rootless server.

My conclusion after a week; the basics are ok, you get it going faster then looking up guides, but anything more complicated config-wise and it quickly just breaks down. Anything a bit more niche and you're way better off just going through the guides and actually learning it. Which is in one hand not that surprising, but in the other makes clear it only ever gets things somewhat right with stuff that is used a lot, like Docker. And that's super obvious given the training sets, but I was just reminded of that again and this is just a hobby! For anything niche and complex at work I would be horrified to use it willy nilly.

Inspired by the movement & website from @leavexLeave X - Protect Democracy - a team of passionate & talented Canadians have gotten together with a similar goal:

ownyourdigital.ca/

Pictured below is a showcase of our politician tracker tool! You can view Federal, Provincial, and even Municipal politicians - copy their emails!

We are trying to get people to join the , that begins with us lobbying our politicians who want our votes!

Screenshot of Own Your Digital politician tracker. Header shows '5 out of 2379 tracked' politicians on the Fediverse with a progress bar. Below, a map of Canada shows adoption by province - Ontario and BC are highlighted in salmon/coral color indicating 1-19% adoption, while remaining provinces are grey indicating 0%. Legend shows color scale from 0% to 80%+. Below the map, a 'Take Action' section displays '2129 unique email addresses found across all provinces' with options to 'Copy All (43 parts)' or 'Copy by Province', plus links to email templates for contacting politicians about digital sovereignty.

Are you running a server on the Fediverse, either Mastodon or some other type?

Would you like it to be listed on the human-curated server directory at fedi.garden/fedi-gardens-full- ?

Is it compatible with all seven points at fedi.garden/about-this-site ?

If the answer to all these is yes, please message my other account at:

➡️ @FediGardenFedi.Garden 🌱

Let me know a little bit about your server in your message, or send a link to your About page 🙂

An FBI raid in Fulton County resulting in the seizure of 2020 ballots and voter data should alarm us all. It’s not just about Trump re-litigating an election he lost. It’s an ominous sign of what to expect from the 2026 election. My write-up in the replies.

もう本当…これなんだよね。

だからイギリスの人たちにとってプーは100年ずっと大切な存在で居続けたし…

ディズニーがそれをアニメにした当時批判が上がったのも当然。

いちプーファンとして、、この根底の背景は絶対忘れないようにしたいなと勝手に思う。 x.com/i/status/201681708780587

クリストファーはプーに対し…

[1920年代の父が、当時の物事を、当時の人々を楽しませる為に書いた本。]と綴ってる。

ミッキーの背景に米の大恐慌があるように…プーも又1920年代の英だからこそ生まれた物語。

彼らの[何もしない日々]に…100年前を生きた人達の願いと希望が詰まってるんだよね。 x.com/i/status/201596106232424
