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.
Unbemerkt von den meisten verschiebt sich die Macht vom Menschen zur Maschine. Erste Studien bezeugen: Der Mensch wird dümmer durch KI. Je mehr er sie als Hilfsmittel nutzt, umso geringer seine kognitive Aktivität und schließlich seine Fähigkeit zum kritischen Denken: https://www.blaetter.de/ausgabe/2026/januar/fortschrittsfalle-ki

I hope this email finds you interesting, and so must I.
Being DevRel occasionally gives you glimpses into how people treat service staff. A guy today got mad because I didn't reply to him for _two hours_. These hours were during my evening. He cited that I was replying to other people, so he's entitled to my attention right?
These same people will weaponise therapy language to try and get what they want. I feel bad for people who can't simply block them.

Every once in a while, someone gets the genius idea of impersonating me online and I spend an afternoon looking for the most chaotic way to make them regret that choice.

Putting data centers in space doesn't really make sense unless you think it puts them beyond the reach of the law.

Sometimes, people on Facebook don't know the Fediverse exists.
The European Commission likes to tell them. 💜 😉
So. Mein Antrag an die Lehrerkonferenz zum Thema: Whatsapp als Kommunikationsmittel für dienstliche Angelegenheiten verbieten", wurde nicht in die Anträge aufgenommen. Stattdessen habe ich übermorgen einen Gesprächstermin bei der Schulleitung. Ich bin gespannt.

Some suggestions for fighting bigotry on the Fediverse:
- Challenge and report bigotry even if you're not the target, don't leave it to victims
- Listen to victims, don't question their honesty or demand a solution from them
- Don't remain neutral, take a stand
- If you're an admin, defederate servers that knowingly tolerate bigotry
- If you're comfortable using Microsoft Github, give thumbs up for reply controls (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/8565) & keyword flagging (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/21306) on Mastodon
The #SocialWeb track at #FOSDEM kicked off with a talk by 
@pfefferleMatthias Pfefferle that covered WordPress and a "single click" philosophy to set up an ActivityPub instance. Matthias also talked about how blogs and similar sites can broaden the reach of the open social web - this was one of the themes of the day.

Ask any SysOp what kind of tools they prefer and you get very different answers. And that is a beauty, because any SysOp whom has been in "the field" have build up their preferred toolchain 
In the last decade (or so), I've grown quite fond of Ansible, for system automation and orchestration. It is not perfect - far from it. But it allows me to manage fleets of machines and keep everything running well 
I was asked to partake in a project. Big (sub)client, quite a high pay. It required being comfortable with Terraform. No previous experience, just being comfortable with it.
I told them I was willing to give it a go and learn it on the fly. But heck, I ended up throwing in the towel after one week - due to it seriously draining my energy (and with that, my mental health).
High pay is nice. But your mental health should never, ever be for sale. No amount of money should weigh up to selling your soul.

才剛踏上人行道，三輛車就在我面前踩油門過去了。連兩百米開外的車，也想趁空檔加速在我之前通過，結果是緊急剎車，鏘一聲停在我面前。車讓人，車讓人，一直都說車讓人，不過短短二十來年...
小狗跟大家道晚安~

What I listened to today: "Show Me What You Got", Busta Rhymes
Busta Rhymes sampling my favorite Stereolab song ("Come And Play in The Milky Night"). J Dilla beat! Kinda archetypical for Busta, near-miss brilliance, great production, incredible rap flow… & an overlong chorus that drags the whole thing down (the chorus *really* needed a professional singer for guest vocals).
Listen careful on verse 1 for the rap equivalent of a oner. Rhyme scheme is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
What I'm listening to today: "Eutow" (live at Flex/Vienna 1996), Autechre
These days each Autechre tour is like a unique album, but their live sets have always been full of unreleased tracks, alternate versions, mashups¹. Here's a completely screwed version of the danciest track from Tri Repetae++, feeling way slower without changing the tempo, something mesmerizing, a decaying orbit around a black hole, spiraling inexorably inward

꿈에서 지진해일
꿈에서 엄청난 규모의 해일을 동반한 지진을 봄.
해일이 너무 높아 하늘을 가릴 정도인데, 파도의 모양이 마치 갓 피어난 검은색 꽃을 연상시키는 모습이었음.
나는 버스에 있었고 나 포함 같이 탄 사람들은 놀라고, 버스 기사님은 어떻게든 해일을 피해 안쪽으로 이동하려고 노력하고 있었음.
누군가 열려있는 창문을 닫으라고 소리치고 있었고, 버스는 열심히 이동해보지만 해일의 속력에 따라잡힐 수도 있다는 불안감이 엄습해왔음.
그리고 꿈에서 깸. ㄷㄷ

님들아 블루스카이를 경배하라 우리가 흔히 블스화질저하라고 알고있는 강제압축 (CDN 최적화)과정을 거치면서 기존 이미지 대비 생성형 AI 이미지가 동일 퀄리티로 더 잘 압축되는 경향이 있다고 합니다 = 용량 작아짐 AI 이미지는 컴퓨터가 인식할때 노이즈가 없는 매끄러운 상태로 출력되므로 동일 퀄리티로 보여도 실제 그림보다 용량이 훨 작아진다 하네요 그리고 jpg 변환과정에서 해당효과가 크게 나타나는데 이 역시 블스가 자동으로 해주고, 10%씩 압축을 반복하기 때문에 타 플랫폼 대비 용량으로 이미지 구분이 가능하다고 합니다
This petition wants contributing to Free Software to be legally and officially recognized as volunteering in Germany on the same level as youth work or ambulance service:
This would bring fiscal and funding advantages for FLOSS organizations and the volunteers themselves.
If you are a German citizen, please sign the petition and let's get our volunteers the recognition they deserve!

I've never worked in an "agile" job before, but I've read the agile manifesto, and now I'm looking at Azure DevOps and thinking "No, this just isn't what you say it is."
