What is Hackers' Pub?

Azubi (1. Lehrjahr) fragt mich nach Empfehlungen für ein "einfaches Thema" zum in der Berufsschule einen kleinen Vortrag (5 Minuten) halten und ich glaub, ich steck ein bisschen in xkcd 2501 fest 🥴

Ob Dinge wie LTO oder BGP vielleicht doch zu komplex sind 🤔

> If your idea of an implementation for the sake of "getting out of the way" ends up taking more steps to activate and is more intrusive when you actually use it, then it's an intentionally shitty design to discourage anyone from using it.

Thanks for responding, I'm not interested in contributing on reddit, so responding here.

The criticism (the whole post is criticism) and the alternative I proposed is to drive home what an opt-in looks like vs. what Mozilla thinks.

Since you can never be _everywhere_ you want to be at #FOSDEM, sometimes you have to watch back some of the dev room talks you missed.

@aAdam Harvey from the @rustfoundation gave a great talk: A phishy case study - attacks on crates.io and others (namely @pypiPython Package Index and npmjs.com )

장애인방송 예산 삭감 공문에 방송사들 당혹 www.mediatoday.co.kr/news/article... "매년 2월3일은 한국수어를 한국어와 동등한 자격을 갖춘 공용어로 명시한 한국수화언어법 제정을 기념하는 한국수어의 날이다. 수어는 동등한 자격을 인정받았지만 방송 현실에선 차별이 이어지고 있다. 2026년 시청자미디어재단 예산 중 장애인방송 제작지원 사업 예산은 전년도 77억5900만 원에서 35억8100만 원으로 약 54% 삭감됐다."

@stefanoStefano Marinelli most good programmers are very hard on their own work! You can replace programmers by artists. The meaning of art is to seek perfection, as by your own definition of perfection.

Chat Control and Age Verification laws aren't about protecting the children. They're about mass surveillance and rising authoritarianism.

These laws endanger everyone,
including the children,
and including democracy.

With the currently released things about Bill Gates in the Epstein files (he had sex with the women and girls Epstein provided and asked Epstein for antibiotics to secretly give to his then-wife to treat the STI he gave her) how are we feeling about the Gates Foundation funding ... anything? Why should that creep (through his foundation) get to use that kind of power to shape what scientists and NGOs can do?

(Nobody should have that power, most foundations are politically a net negative on the world but I am talking about a specific case here.)

You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.

Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.

They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.

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

Russia struck a crowded area in Zaporizhzhia with a drone.

Two teenagers — both 18 — were killed.

Eight more people were injured, including three children. A 15-year-old girl is in critical condition.

The air raid alert in the region has been ongoing for nearly 24 hours.

We need to go back to Web1.0 and start again.

@eugenialoliEugenia L

@eugenialoliEugenia L because the real objective is not to check the teenagers. They assume you are a teenager until you present your ID.

The real objective is to check and ID every single adult.
Massive overreach.

The video for my FOSDEM talk, Separating the Wayland Compositor and Window Manager is online now!

I thought it went very well except for the demo of course, I really should have automated it fully with a script or just showed screenshots of various window managers instead.

I did get got tons of questions and positive feedback :)

For sure. And our momentum is right now. Move all the things off proprietary clouds and big tech. Decentralize the net (again).

Thanks to @stefanoStefano Marinelli 's excellent article about syncing Time Machin with a FreeBSD jail, I decided to give it a try, and since the instructions were clear and easy, I didn't expect much trouble.

I bootstrapped 15.0-RELEASE, ran doas bastille create -V tmjail 15.0-RELEASE 192.168.xx.xx/24 igc0

System said Attempting to create jail: tmjail
Valid IP.......
Creating a thinjail....

But then: jail: tmjail: exec jib: No such file or directory, Failed to create jail....

I tried it several times, I checked that jib is in my path, I ran it as root. I deinstalled Bastille, deleted all directories and ZFS datasets, reinstalled everything but the error is still there.

It seems like the script does not find jib although it's in the path.

Do you have any ideas? I am quite sure that I didn't have this issue before I upgraded to 15.

My thunderbolt dock randomly disconnects or gets randomly disconnected and it's kinda annoying because it's annoying..

Not seeing much in dmesg, just:

thunderbolt 0-0:1.2: retimer disconnected
thunderbolt 0-0:1.1: retimer disconnected
thunderbolt 0-1: device disconnected

and I wonder if it's a bad cable or what's up there. Anybody any ideas how to figure out what's going on there?

I miss my plushies, thankfully I will be home soon

No COPILOT.MD, which is not proof of human-authored software, but for an MS product seems like a strong hint toward it.

Updated my test mastodon instance, listodon.com, to v4.5.6 and updated TangerineUI to a nice lagoon theme for the default.

I had some slowness during this upgrade, I'm not sure why. At one point I thought it was completely stalled but it finally completed.
