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.
Hi, new followers! Seems like a good time for a re-introduction.
I'm Hong Minhee (洪 民憙), a software engineer based in Seoul. My pronouns are they/them.
I build tools for the fediverse. Fedify is an ActivityPub server framework in TypeScript, Hollo is a single-user microblogging server (what you're reading this on), and BotKit is a framework for making ActivityPub bots. I care a lot about making federation more accessible to developers, which, as my recent JSON-LD rant probably made clear, sometimes means wrestling with parts of the spec I have complicated feelings about.
I'm a free/open source software person through and through, and a socialist, which informs how I think about tech. Lately I've been thinking a lot about LLMs. My position is probably not what you'd expect from either camp: I think the problem isn't the technology itself but the enclosure of the commons. I wrote about this at length here if you're curious: Histomat of F/OSS: We should reclaim LLMs, not reject them.
Outside of software, I have a long-running interest in CJK languages and writing systems. I'm always happy to talk about Chinese characters, Korean orthography, or the weird corners of Unicode where these things intersect.
Nice to meet you all, and thanks for following.

これみて思い出した。左翼って本来は新しい物好きでインテリな人たちみたいな定義だったはずなのに、日本の左翼と言われる野党はそうじゃないよねって気持ち。チームみらいなのが正しい左翼だわ
＞Xユーザーの加速の会さん: 「チームみらいみたいな、日本固有の戦後左翼要素(極端な反戦平和など)のニオイを消した“脱臭左翼”はかなり今後の脅威になると思う 欧米の左翼は大体チームみらいみたいな感じだが、日本は“左翼”の指す対象が特殊だから、アレが左翼だと認識されない」 / X

if i ran firefox, this is what i would say wrt AI in firefox in 2026.
1. ai is exciting!
2. it's also in its infancy.
3. we don't know yet how or if it connects to the web.
4. the web is 100% our #1 priority.
5. so we're going to wait.
6. for now firefox is a no-ai browser.
7. we won't include ai until we know why.
8. and then it will be opt-in.
9. and we will continue to make firefox the best web browser.
sincerely,
the developers of firefox

I used 
@stefanoStefano Marinelli 's excellent guide to redo my wife's Void Linux laptop. Now it's on ZFS and runs great!
The guide is here:
https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/12/22/void-linux-zfs-hibernation-guide/
The only adjustment I'd make to the guide is when you're setting up the encrypted swap. Do you use the same password as the main encrypted ZFS? Or does it matter?

As part of the recent django-tasks refactor, I had to extract some directories, with history, into their own repositories.
The process was quite interesting, and easier than I expected.
Extracting directories into their own repositories
Software projects in git repositories (or Version Control Systems - yes there are others) tend to be made up of much more than just 1 file, or even 1 directory. To make functions and functionality easier to find, good software is split up, forming modules or isolated components which can…

“Because the iPhone was in Lockdown mode, CART could not extract that device,” the court record reads, referring to the FBI’s Computer Analysis Response Team
I’d like to see more reporting like this. One can and should go deep here, but just working out the basic facts like this goes a long way:
- It’s bad information
- Here’s who’s spreading it
No both-siding. Takes a factual stand without any sense that do so makes this an opinion piece or a polemic.

There is no much need now that I have to triage. It's like you wake up every day to someone asking you that unconscionable question "If all your children were drowning, but you could only save one, which one would it be?" Well, what I want is a way for all of us to never have to ask that question again.

Finally, someone who has a grasp of Set Theory!
I had already read the essay,
but watching it was as fantastic.
This Cory Doctorow talk is so awesome. One of the most punk proposal I have heard lately.
I really hope Canada does it!
Thanks @pluralisticCory Doctorow 🤘💚
