What is Hackers' Pub?

Someone do me a favor and remind me to check my post office box more please! 😁

Thank you @andypiper@macaw.social for the stickers that I FINALLY realized where in my PO Box from 6 months ago!

just got like twenty signup/activation emails from random company zendesk instances and i just want to know what i could have possibly done to deserve this

We're investigating European-based Patreon alternatives. Does anyone have any experience with any of them? We're looking at Steady but it appears that they process their payments through Paypal which kinda defeats the point of trying to use a European platform...

the answers to "what makes CORS hard?" here are so interesting, so far I'm getting

1) The browser's same-origin policy is very counterintuitive
2) Browser network tools do (I think) have all the info you need to debug, but navigating the Network tab is not easy if you're not used to it
3) Sometimes you need to coordinate with many people to set the correct headers
4) Setting up CORS headers to allow multiple domains (like a.com, b.com, c.com) is annoying

I really hate to see virtually every 'independent' journalist centralize themselves on Substack 🙁

A lot of great journalists just lost their jobs. America suffers. Who benefits?

As a proof, scrot output on NetBSD... aka, screenshot 🙂
Still, fonts are missing, but I only needed to download a few configs from my website to make it usable for me.
ratpoison, dmenu, firefox, emacs - and I can make a lot of work done...

That’s the way I like it. 🤗 Is a pizza without olives and anchovies a pizza? 😎😉

You’ll never guess the reason why this perfectly capable Netflix client is being sunset. It’s VHS.

VHS recorders, specifically. The PS3 supports AV (yellow, white, red) cable output, which does not have HDCP copy protection. There’s a retro trend happening to get Stranger Things on VHS and this puts an end to it.

WaPo laid off one of the journalists who won a 2022 Pulitzer Prize for reporting on the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

Ok, looking for a comparable static pages hosting to Cloudflare Pages, day 2.

Finally found it.

https://www.statichost.eu/

Whole set up took me literally 3 minutes. Big props.

I'll use it on prod, with bunny.net in front though because I need it on root domain and once bunny.net takes over my DNS it will work little better with ANAME.

@statichostEric from statichost.eu did you consider adding some lower tier like 5€ a month (or pay as you want) for people who want to pay but 9€ is little to much?

Decided to try BSD/OS... took a few tries to get it to work as I usually don't use Metro-X to configure the X server and do it manually.

This is BSD/OS 4.1 btw

it works!? proxy any arbitrary xrpc upstream, find links where you tell it to look in the response, attach linked records. here it's directly requesting a bluesky feed generator + injecting all posts into the response. single request, nothing bluesky-specific. so hydrated rn🚰

This time out, featuring lots of books, cryptography, and open-source clothing.

Fantastic overview of the atmosphere and the power it affords people. This will be my go to piece for people going forward.

1994 - 2008 internet was a magnificent place. Minus the obvious cesspools, the internet was a wonderful portable library of arts, music, literature, and a bunch of kids who wanted to explore the world.

It wasn’t until we put Obama in office using 2008 Twitter that a certain demographic of hegemonic racists decided to use their blood wealth to ruin everything positive about this space, out of pure spite and jealousy. It’s been obvious and disgusting to watch.

Today is #openzfsmastery, a footnote:

"See, once upon a time the phone company printed huge books that listed everyone with a phone and their phone number. No, phone numbers didn’t change so often, because they were all landlines. But then the dinosaurs knocked the phone lines down, so we went cellular."

I have no idea why anyone

Every now and then I look at my logs and think, of the many, many reasons we don't need to worry about "the singularity", one is that an exponentially self-improving software agent probably wouldn't ask my webserver for the same file four times a second for days.

Paul Barham once - possibly apocryphally - told a grad student, "You can have a second computer once you’ve shown you know how to use the first one."

He works at Google now as I understand it, so he probably doesn't say that anymore.

Social-Media-Altersgrenzen, puh, ja. Ich sehe die Schmerzen und die Hilfslosigkeit der Eltern, und ich sehe einen massiven Druck, sich jetzt endlich der Welle pro Verbote anzuschließen.

Nur: Wenn wir den Kids Social-Media verbieten, werden sie erst recht nicht zu euch kommen, wenn da was schiefläuft. Und da gibt es Gefahren, keine Frage.

Aber wir haben ja auch Altersgrenzen für Alkohol? Ja. Aber würdet Ihr sagen, Social Media sind dasselbe? Ich glaube nicht. Da gibt's auch ..

Conversation this morning that, if I understood the details right, and my own understanding of how LLMs process data (reinforced by experience) is correct... epistemia is gonna bite a bunch of projects and companies so so hard in the the near future. It's gonna hurt, bad.

@dansup Are you the creator of this platforms?

"Claude will never deliberately include advertising" is not the same thing as "Claude will deliberately work to reduce advertising content that it outputs" which do you suppose they mean by "ad-free"?

Want to know something funny? People in Spain don't speak Spanish. Spanish is a New World language. In Spain they speak Castellano, Gallego, Basque, Catalán, and a bunch of other languages. If you show up in Spain speaking Spanish, they'll understand you but that's not what they speak.

Epstein wasn’t a “bad apple”
He didn’t “slip through the cracks”
He was the logical outcome of systems designed to protect rich, powerful men & discipline the rest.
Prisons didn’t stop him. Policing didn’t stop him. The state didn’t stop him.
He was protected & enabled by institutions of power.

This is what the patriarchy looks like when it wears a suit and has friends in high places.

We’ve seen this before.

This is my face when modern Go self-tests that you can run during toolchain build require roughly 5 GBytes of temporary disk space.

(For Go people, this is './all.bash" on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, git tip.)
