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.

one of these days where I’m wishfully thinking about how wonderful life would be if Rust let you provide references “but only to this specific subset of fields on this struct”

(and this time it’s not even any of the usual reasons, but a weird thing I’m trying to do with a MutexGuard…)

WooHoo! DisplayCAL GUI for ArgyllCMS (color management system) is back in the Ubuntu/Mint repositories! The original developer of DisplayCAL, Florian Höch, who for years did a fantastic job of building & maintaining DisplayCAL ceased development when Debian & its derivatives migrated from Python2 to 3. Erkan Yilmaz & team picked it up & ported it to Python3 a few years ago. It was very much an alpha patch, but it worked. Now it's fully functional & in the repositories again--nice! 👏 👏

Just setup lagg on my laptop and it was easier than I first thought. So now if I'm not on a wired connection it'll jump to WiFi. My Wifi chipset is iwlwifi0: Detected Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz

On WiFi I get 275Mbps by 97Mbps
On wired I get 987Mbps by 94Mbps

FYI It was all in the excellent handbook here.

My work is cited in Congressional reports and I advise Congressional staffers.

The crypto industry spent $133 million installing pro-crypto lawmakers in 2024 and $285 million on lobbying. There is not a similarly funded effort on the other side; I do everything I can to offset that imbalance.

In fact, the crash has raised serious and legitimate concerns about potential insider trading and specifically whether a crypto trader was given information about the upcoming tariff announcements. As Molly White explains, in the aftermath of the crash, analysts noticed a wallet that had deposited millions into the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange before the crash, taking a heavily leveraged short position on bitcoin and ether. When the market plummeted, they profited to the tune of more than $150 million.

I maintain Web3 is Going Just Great, which documented 114 crypto disasters in the past year. web3isgoinggreat.com/

I run Follow the Crypto, tracking industry political spending. I’m in the process of updating it for 2026, where crypto super PACs have already raised more than double their record-breaking 2024 spending. followthecrypto.org/

The Wolf's Paw

Often I show up early to pre-compose a shot leaving me waiting for the sun to shift and the light I wanted to reveal itself. This gives me lots of time to explore the areas around me, sometimes allowing me to stumble onto small scenes like this.

On this occasion I found pockets of air trapped in the ice, with a few pockets having broken the surface to reveal what look like a canine paw.

An icy lake bed with bubbles form underneath the surface. A few bubbles have broken the surface revealing a patter that resembles the paw print of a canine.

in minecraft, you can smelt cobblestone to make stone, which i called "cooked stone" when i used to play it.

nowadays you can smelt stone again, which makes smooth stone.

what should this be called?

RE: socialontario.ca/@smattymatty/

After digging into Hootsuite more... it's worse than I thought.

CEO Irina Novoselsky personally flew to Washington to pitch ICE. She told employees to stay quiet because speaking up "won't change the narrative."

OMERS Ventures - the pension fund for Ontario municipal workers, firefighters, paramedics, transit workers, and children's aid societies - is a Hootsuite investor.

Let them know how you feel about that:
