What is Hackers' Pub?

the first bandcamp friday of 2026 is here 💗 back in december, i released my latest slab, weaving unreleased songs & feelings through a number of electroacoustic tools into an ambient tapestry of introspective yearning. everything left unsaid remains within me

What is the history of US sanctions on Iran?

The US first imposed sanctions on Iran in November 1979, after the Islamic revolution overthrew the US-backed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, halting oil imports and freezing $12bn in Iranian assets.

In 1995, then-President Bill Clinton issued executive orders preventing US companies from investing in Iranian oil and gas and trading with Iran. He banned US trade with Iran and investment in the country.

I started live streaming from the remote Arizona desert at sunrise this morning, and the stream has been going all day.

Join me for warmer weather, desert solitude and some dystopian cyberpunk background music.

I wonder where the pattern of "clipboard is invisible" got started.
Just an implementation detail of earlier versions that got copied by later implementations?

Do you have any questions about how to use Mastodon or the wider Fediverse? Feel free to ask in the replies, or DM me if you want to ask in private.

No question is stupid or silly, I'm especially trying to help new people 🙂

so moltbook and clawedbot are having a meltdown because it only took ten days for someone to realize it was a pietri dish for malware and packed the skills store full of backdoored malicious bullshit and they had no plan to deal with that inevitability? because this was a guarantee. it was GOING to happen. if we go save them, we are letting them fuck around, but not find out. they NEED to find out.

do not help

The results of the latest Marist poll showing 65% of Americans think the Trump regime's use of ICE to attack immigrants and others has gone too far.

minor tr(1) gotcha I encountered recently: It does NOT use regex-style "[a-z]" notation for a character class. One might do something like

$ echo 'abcd123' | tr -d '[a-c]'
d123

which does what's expected. But then put a "[" or "]" in the input:

$ echo '[abcd123]' | tr -d '[a-c]'
d123

The "[" and "]" are treated as literal characters and get deleted/translated too. You can use class-names with them though:

$ echo '[abcd123]' | tr -d '[:alpha:]'
[123]

Also, weirdly, woke up to all my notes in Obsidian deleted across all my devices. Luckily, I've got scripts that commit changes to a private git repo every 5 minutes, so things seem recoverable. Trying to figure out if syncthing had a spasm or something and nuked the files

New, by me: I wrote some words for TechCrunch about Sen. Ron Wyden's recent unclassified letter to the CIA director, citing his "deep concerns" about the agency's activities. This isn't the first time Wyden has sounded his "siren" — and history tells us why this new letter is likely a big deal.

The very faint planetary nebula, known as Abell 7, is about 1,800 light-years from Earth. It is located just south of Orion toward the constellation Lepus, The Hare. Posing against the Milky Way stars, its simple spherical shape about 8 light-years in diameter is revealed in this deep telescopic image.

Now(ish)

anyway i don't think any of those people were actively trying to read me in bad faith. and i do have some people who do deliberately read me in bad faith. it is what it is. just kinda had to accept that. being a public person is *weird*

"I’m not sure exactly how it happened. I think the lazy answer is “GitHub!!!!”. I do think GitHub played a role, but I think the answer is more complex than that. I personally think that gender plays a huge role. But that’s a different essay. Regardless of *why* it happened, something did happen."

i am always kind of vaguely aware of this, but one moment when it was made really clear to me: in a blog post of mine about open source i said this:

SwiftUI geeks, help me out. Just a simple thing.

I got a container that ignores the safe area margins to fill the screen, but how can I reapply the Safe Areas in the View within, like, a ScrollView so that the content scrolls through the NavBar and Tabbar?

이런거주움

옛날에 (한달에 120만원 주는) 인턴한테는 판교바닥에서 야근시키는 건 좀 너무한거 아니냐고 한 적이 있었음. 대표는 초보라서 이상한 노가다를 열쯔엉! 하면서 하고자 했고 대부분 경력직이고 일이 많은 사람들은 그 일을 외면했기 때문에 인턴이 판교 교통 끊길 때까지 일해. 그랬더니 나더러 “노조위원장이냐” 그래서 내가 “제가 하나 만들까요” 했더니 죽일듯이 노려봄. 이것이 머한민국 중소의 현실임.ㅋㅋㅋ 싸울래면 목숨을 걸어야됨. 뭐 옛날부터 내 고용은 파립목숨이고 해고가 살인이면 나는 재림을 몇번한거냐 아무튼 예수이긴 할 거야 그치?

Starting up now ⏰

Capitalism has convinced people that new always equals “better” so if you want to rebel against Capitalism start to recognize that “new” is often just a way to extract more money from you.

Existing (or “old”) things can be functional and beautiful, and often easier to repair.

The word “old” should not be an insult. Not to things or to people.
