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.
Heya! 🥳 I just released XenoAtom.Logging https://github.com/XenoAtom/XenoAtom.Logging a performance-first structured logging runtime for .NET focused on zero allocations on the hot path! 🚀
Bonus: it integrates nicely with XenoAtom.Terminal.UI: https://xenoatom.github.io/terminal/docs/logging/ ✨
There are obvious missing platforms in the #offpunk packages:
https://repology.org/project/offpunk/versions
No #openbsd ! 
No #fedora ! 
No #opensuse !
and probably several other missing. If you are doing package for one of the missing platforms, join us on the dedicated mailing-list:
did my civic duty today:
went to a local donut shop
noticed they had a new ring camera up.
i ask the nice hispanic girl behind the counter "hey you know ice can see through that ring camera, right?"
she goes UHHHH NO WTF I HAVE ONE AT HOME
"tear it out of the wall. yank the power. ring gives ice free access to those"

#CDNpoli moment that lives rent free in my head: the time someone hacked the GO train scrolling signs to read "Stephen Harper Eats Babies", with a story featuring the money quote "I worked with Stephen Harper for five years and never once did he, in that time, eat a baby."
Perfect bed time reading
A tragedy in three acts.
ACT I: Why can't I get this stupid hardware to show up? What a piece of garbage!
ACT II: Huh, it's using TTY over USB. I wonder if I'm in the dailout group.
ACT III: Nooooooo!
Clear paths but very snowy benches at Georgetown today.
If you love researching and writing technical content and/or blogs about technology and software, please reach out to me. I'm exploring potential partnerships :)
we're launching RK3588 processor + 8GB RAM + 64GB eMMC models of MNT Reform and MNT Pocket Reform at prices lowered by 100 EUR: https://shop.mntre.com
at the same time, we bumped up the eMMC on the 16GB RAM + 128GB version, which was the only variant since the beginning of the year, to 16GB RAM + 256GB eMMC with a 50 EUR price increase.
we've also updated the variants of the upgrade modules for Pocket and classic Reform in a similar fashion.

What has been the worst part of working with ActivityPub (and its ecosystem), and the worst part of working with ATProto? Do you believe multi-protocol to be the way to go for decentralized social media? - Nelson, TSN.
More than the details of one vs the other: the difference of architecture between both of them!
Knowing how fedi works wont help you understand how bluesky works. In fact, it will make your understanding of it harder!
Fedi decentralization is "simple". If Mark Zuckerberg had made facebook self hosteable and federated, he would had ended up with an architecture very similar to activitypub: I write post, I send the post to my followers. Simple to understand.
Bluesky is decentralized, but asks the quesiton "do you actualy have to take care of everything?".
I first conected wafrn to activitypub because it was my project and I saw that my 200 or 300 users were gona get bored and leave. So i decided to torture the internet.
Then bluesky hapened and some people said "its not decentralized". "then explain the bridge" "they cheat". Ok.
I got annoyed so I conected wafrn to bluesky anyway

the terraform provider creates and owns the channel. it is the only user with the right to turn on encryption for said channels. voila. this is a perfectly reasonable solution.
matrix E2EE channels are fucking stupid because they leak all sorts of metadata
for example, the topic is unencrypted
reactions are unencrypted
replies reference unencrypted MXIDs so you can tell what is being replied to even if the payload itself is encrypted
do not use them. do not waste your time on them. it is not worth it.

I'm going through #fosdem 2026 videos and I need to point out the good work with the files themselves. We have the option of downloading .mp4 videos with older coded for old devices, but we have everything also encoded in modern av1 (using webm as container) which makes for very small files with good quality. I'm saving them directly to my jellyfin instance and watching one by one at my tv, popcorn in hand. Good job fosdem people!

@inthehandsPaul Cantrell An aside. When people used to ask Dawn wasn’t it hard to treat animals because “they can’t tell you what’s wrong,” she’d answer that they also can’t lie about it. She thought the latter probably outweighed the former.

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.
this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.
yc now wants your claude code transcripts, which is the first time a startup accelerator has explicitly asked you to show your homework to prove you didn’t do your homework
This is interesting. I've been using the full spread method since forever and it serves me well, glad to know that it's also tied for the best method. That being said my spread is usually thinner than in the article photos. I use the edge of an old credit card to make it as thin and uniform as possible.
updating a branch that's 12 days old on @npmx.dev@bsky.brid.gy there were ... a few ... merge conflicts 💥

The felony charges facing Bay Area student protesters could have a chilling effect on protest generally, says a local criminal defense attorney. “These cases restrict people from getting involved in activism—and that was the intention.”

Felony conspiracy charges are increasingly being used to quash protest, says a legal scholar. They are “now really effective at going after social movements and coordinated action amongst activists.”

maybe genAI is just like cilantro and there's a genetic predisposition to disliking it. case in point: I can't think of any particular ethical or structural concern with DLSS. and yet, DLSS, FSR, and MetalFX all look like absolute shit to me. I really just wish that developers would focus more on clean rasterization performance and not hinting at the GPU to guess what their game *might* look like 60 times a second. it's the "motion smoothing on your grandparents' TV" of gaming
