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.
I know it's not just me but I hate how society puts all of these real-time assessments of an individual's behavior on you. For example, Lyft prompting you to give a tip *during the ride*, or getting a survey about an individual employee right as they leave. It just seems like one of those idiotic ways in which humans have mechanized society broadly but in a stupid direction that lacks serious substance
During the complete internet blackout in Iran, one of the most important things we missed was a way to receive news. The blockage still continues, it’s a little easier now to access the international internet, but it is still whitelisted.
So, I’m thinking about some kind of solution to selfhost or implement that would allow us to receive things like RSS feeds or news from Telegram channels. To be clear, when they shut down international traffic, there is no way to connect using normal protocols such as HTTP, SMTP, etc.
Do you have any ideas about this?
Interesting… just saw a sidebar on a YouTube video for a fundraiser being run by the channel. Was legitimately surprised to see YouTube doing product development to further YouTube itself as a revenue center instead of just treating YouTube as a site for investor storytime about how Google is adopting "AI"
These are the tools powered us during the complete internet shutdown of Iran. I don't know how to appreciate you guys. Thank you:

I'm making my usual #BandcampFriday plea: if you love music, consider spending as much today on music at Bandcamp as you do every month on music streaming subs. One $10 sale can make an artist's day-- and put as much money in their pocket as ~5000 or more streams!

@djangonews is a wonderful resource for the #Django community. I'm always excited to read the latest edition. This week's included some love for https://django-antipatterns.org
The site includes extra context on JsonResponse(safe=) which clarifies why it's important. Thankfully, browsers have gotten better to the point where this feature (and antipattern) can be removed!

Good morning, world!

I have learnt about Dijkstra using Leonardo numbers (basically like Fibonacci, but his first name was Leonardo) to virtually treat indexed array as binary tree in 1981... and my head kinda exploded:
So you can have binary tree without pointers and all this stuff! Just by knowing how far ahead you need to look into array.
From the outside it’s great that Open Source community looks like a lawn you water and fertilize.

한국의 정치인들이 차별금지법과 성평등 정책, 특히나 동성혼을 포괄하는 평등혼 제도에 대해서 굉장히 우려가 많은걸 압니다. 하지만 걱정하지 마십시오. 앞서나간 나라들이 있습니다. 물론 그 나라들의 정치인들도 대부분 우리나라의 정치인들과 비슷한 걱정을 했죠. 그들이 어떤 경험을 했는지, 직접 들어보면 어떨까요? 지금 보시는 영상은 12년 전 유튜브에 올라온 뉴질랜드 의회의 기록입니다.

I could go into history here, but suffice it to say: if someone tries to explain Class A, Class B, or Class C addresses to you, plug your ears and scream at them not to contaminate your brain with information obsoleted more than two decades ago.

TIL that SSDs can lose data if left unplugged for long periods of time (only required to hold data up to 1 year), unlike HDDs which as long as the material holds it can take years.

PSA: Did you know that it’s **unsafe** to put code diffs into your commit messages?
Like https://github.com/i3/i3/pull/6564 for example
Such diffs will be applied by patch(1) (also git-am(1)) as part of the code change!
This is how a sleep(1) made it into i3 4.25-2 in Debian unstable.

How to Play Accordion: Beginner Step-by-Step Guide:
Someone posted a link to an introduction to playing the accordion on mastodon last night
The article seems to be either really poorly translated, or very badly mangled and unfiltered AI slop
Or probably both: a bad translation run through AI?
Or AI fed on bad translations?
Anyways. The internet will soon be entirely useless. This is all we’ll see:

I am excited to update you guys on life with the 
@furilabs@fosstodon.org FLX1s, a new Linux smartphone that follows and improves on their previous model, the FLX1.
I've been daily driving it since shortly after I received it - over a month now! And, yes, you read that correctly: it is a daily driveable Linux phone. I have had to make a few minor compromises but a lot of it comes down to the fact that the mobile app ecosystem on Linux isn't as expansive as those of other platforms and isn't targeted by developers. Fortunately, the phone includes a Waydroid fork called Andromeda which makes it a breeze to launch and use most Android apps but, unfortunately, those relying on direct hardware and/or networking access may not function correctly. For example, you lose access to Roku Private Listening and my RingConn Gen 2 smartring is essentially a dumbring now. The great thing is, though, that if you are a developer, you have a lot of opportunities to chip in!
I wouldn't call myself anything close to a developer but I've made what I hope are meaningful, if minor, contributions. I've added to the FAQ via a merge request. I managed to pin down a small environmental variable change that would allow Qt6 flatpaks to render correctly at certain scaling. I got a merge request accepted to upstream Phosh that changes the bluetooth tile in quick settings to list devices by aliases instead of names. I've made and shared a handful of scripts to improve mobile usability (like ramping up alarm volume, being able to pre-dismiss alarms, automatic nightlight/dark theme/do-not-disturb settings) and I have more in the works. There is an active, engaged, and incredibly helpful community in their Matrix room (and the web forum) who have also been contributing in all sorts of amazing ways (most in ways far exceeding my small skill set).
Speaking of which, there is nearly always a member of the @furilabs@fosstodon.org team in the chat willing to provide one-on-one troubleshooting covering anything from payment and shipment hiccups to mobile network issues. They are friendly and approachable and the accessibility is something I am not accustomed to.
