What is Hackers' Pub?

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.

Pixelfed won't block blog posts, text-only posts or long form content, rather we should hide them by default, and give users the ability to choose the level of federation support they desire.

I believe software level filtering will be useful to most users who want to prioritize photo-centric posts.

It's not my place to enforce restrictions, or admins IMO, it should be up to the user to decide, even with an opinionated default.

Dr. Oz is pleading with Americans to get the measles vaccine.

WE ELIMINATED THIS FOR A REASON. WE DID THIS FOR A REASON. PEOPLE DIED. WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ANY OF THIS.

I'm glad to see it but you absolute "health" fuckwaffles, you did this. You made this happen. Turns out he's not corrupt or deluded enough to commit to the bit once the consequences start coming home.

Dr. Oz Urges ‘Take the Vaccine, Please’ amid Ongoing Fatal Measles Spike in U.S.

People should “for sure” fear measles, top health official Dr. Mehmet Oz said, as the U.S. continues to struggle with an ongoing rise in measles cases that began last year.

Linux 7.0 Officially Concluding The Rust Experiment (phoronix.com)

Linux 7.0 Officially Concluding The Rust Experiment

While Linux 7.0 is the next kernel version solely over Linus Torvalds' numbering preference, there is a notable symbolic change that was sent in overnight for this new kernel merge window: formally concluding the 'Rust experiment' with upstream kernel developers now in acceptance that Rust for the Linux kernel is here to stay.

당나라와 고구려 사이의 기묘한 관계 중 하나
당이 망했으면 고구려가 중원을 차지 할 수 있었을까?
아님. 고구려의 인구, 시스템이 준비되지 않았음.
당은 왜 고구려를 멸망시키지 않았나?
수-당은 모두 오호십육국시대의 여러 유목민족의 이합집산 끝에 선비족 계열 관롱집단을 주축으로 성립된 왕조라 만주쪽 유목민의 제어에 고구려를 외교적으로 활용하고 고구려가 내부에서 무너지는 걸 기다리는 걸 선택(오호십육국시대에 수많은 유목민족 국가들이 내부에서 무너짐) 했으나 가끔 나대는 윗대가리들이 정벌을 간 것.

airlines & carry-on luggage

Both with my flights to and from FOSDEM, and my current flights yesterday & today —

I have heard the airlines tell me that the airplane is full, and that all the overhead space for luggage is full.

And yet, when I get in the airplane, there is a lot of empty space in the overhead luggage cabinets. And, the cabinets are closed (before take-off) with empty space.

I have now experienced this on 8 airplanes.

It seems odd.

#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."

GO Transit signs insult PM | CBC News

Technicians with GO Transit are working to make its electronic message boards hacker-proof after the scrolling signs were programmed to read "Stephen Harper Eats Babies" over and over again.

[歐盟執委會主席支持歐洲製造　擬推戰略產業歐企優先⸺中央社](cna.com.tw/news/aopl/202602100)

"在歐盟召開商討提升競爭力的會議前，歐盟執行委員會主席范德賴恩今天表示支持「歐洲製造」，希望推動在「戰略」領域優先考慮歐洲企業而非外國公司的舉措。

法新社報導，歐盟執委會本月稍晚將提出一項提議，主張在涉及關鍵產業的政府採購中優先考慮歐洲企業，但這項構想面臨部分歐盟成員國及貿易夥伴反彈。

范德賴恩（Ursula von der Leyen）致函歐盟其他領袖時強調，歐洲必須能兼顧「捍衛自身戰略利益」以及支持本地生產。"

//歐洲人還沒想清楚，「中國製造2025」就是一種戰略行為。不用國家之力全力回應，就等著產業被掏空，最後受制於中國（這個戰略現在幾乎都已經成功了）。

The total privacy of has a trade-off: there is no global directory. Connecting for private messaging requires a direct QR scan or using an existing channel to exchange invite links. The hurdle is often the readiness of friends, family, or those around you to switch. However, once connected, the app is an enjoyable daily driver. It is about moving to a space where you cannot be found by strangers, but can still enjoy modern, reliable chat with those who matter. ... (2/3)

RE: social.lansky.name/@hn100/1160

While it's obviously good that the EU becomes more independent from the US, the focus on having this be a software based solution is scary.

We can already see in Sweden, how Swish has created digital exclusion, where some people cannot pay for products and services, just because they have the wrong/too old phone.

Cards might not be perfect, but at least they are ~20€/year pieces of plastic, not 500€ phones that can become unsupported at any point in time.

Simplifying Vulkan One Subsystem at a Time

When those of us in the Vulkan® working group want to modify the API—whether it’s a new hardware feature to expose, a new use case we want to address, or even just a gap in the spec we want to address—we have one invaluable tool that we make heavy use of: extensions! Extensions are a wonderful way for us to get improvements to the Vulkan API out to developers without waiting for a new core version. They let vendors expose novel functionali

I wanted to set up presence detection in Home Assistant without exposing my installation to the internet, and without giving the companion app on my phone access to location data.

I use MikroTik network gear at home, so I added the Mikrotik integration to Home Assistant. It showed my phone as a MAC address, connected through Wifi, and I used that as device tracker. Everything seemed fine, but then the next afternoon. the device tracker still showed me as Away.

I then discovered that GrapheneOS (edit: Android rather, see below) uses a different random MAC address for each connection to a network, as default. Changed it to use a static random MAC for my home network, and now it works as intended.

All this to avoid running the Morning Coffee automation if I'm not even home.

home-assistant.io/integrations

Screen shot from Home Assistant -> History for person Michael, showing me Home, Away, and then Home again. This matches my phone's connection to the home network.
