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.
@okOK Bot hello?
Very early stages, but at least we have the domain and marketing site up.

joking about kink
as an asexual reverse engineer, my favorite fetish to see come across my dash is hypnokink GIFs
because sometimes they do like YOU ARE BEING REPROGRAMMED with flashes of source code, and I get to take apart the GIF and figure out where they got the source from
We should all get used to no longer saying "GitHub" but "Microsoft AI GitHub" just so it's clearer where your code lies and for what purpose.

I see tons of posts about #selfhosting here, and it makes sense. It’s a great option for people who can.
But this excludes the vast majority of regular people who do not have the technical skills to run a data center.
We owe it to everyone to make open cloud services that:
- do not put profit first
- do not “own” or “monetize” their users’ data
- resist enshitification by letting users take their data somewhere else
- are as easy and straightforward as the “closed” status quo

We built Holos Discover, a 100% ActivityPub search engine, to solve a problem: Holos servers start with empty search indexes.
Being fully ActivityPub-native means every deletion, edit or block is processed instantly. Only public posts from consenting users are indexed. We respect every signal available.
This raised concerns, and that's fair. It may have highlighted misunderstood default settings. We're ready to shut it down if the community feels it's not welcome.

@leavexLeave X - Protect Democracy Netherlands, https://social.overheid.nl/directory part of the overheid.nl (gov.nl) domain.

@communitymanagerSocial.overheid.nl Support is in the best position to answer the question. The team behind it is responsible for functional management and also works on policy relating to the instance.
Btw the NL gov instance is also reachable via https://social.gov.nl :-)
Which EU country will be the first to officially move its public institutions to a national Mastodon instance, bringing political debate to the Fediverse and away from disinformation platforms like X?
We know some national-level instances already exist (e.g. in Germany). The question is: who will make it a political decision, not just a technical one?
If you think of another country, add it in the comments 👇

How do we Grow the Open Social Web? Good question! But lots of people have good ideas, and many of them are coming to our online un-workshop on this, March 2.
Some of them are already listed on our event page, with the ideas they submitted.
Sounds interesting? Join us! https://fediforum.org/2026-03-growing-open-social-web/#papers

Got off a video call with the humane society. We got final approval to adopt the cats!
They are very very picky about who can adopt their adult-caught formerly feral cats, since they're more challenging than a well-behaved kitten, but they apparently had a meeting about me and my husband and concluded that we know enough of what we're doing to give them a good home. 🥺
Hearing that made me feel like I could finally breath after holding my breath. We pick up the kitties next Monday after filling out some paperwork and taking two of them to their final humane society vet appointment. Then we bring them home, put them in our newly furnished cat room, and begin the work of making them comfortable.

LLMs do not think. They are an interactive, static snapshot of the statistical distribution of words (or tokens) in a large body of text.

Wow, gross. I don't think I've ever seen Apple do a macOS upgrade hard-sell quite this aggressive before. This is un-dismissable except via "remind me later”.

Die Konservativen nutzen in den vergangenen Wochen alle Kraft und Energie, um die Rechte von ArbeitnehmerInnen sturmreif zu schießen. Sämtliche sozialen und gesellschaftlichen Errungenschaften werden in Frage gestellt, um den Machterhalt der Reichen zu sichern.
Genau das ist #Klassenkampf.

There are enough faves here that I think I’m gonna do it.
I have to buy two IPv4 addresses though. It turns out you can’t just buy an IPv4 address, you have to buy a /24 and it costs $5–10k.
So… anyone know how I can get my hands on a couple of addresses?
