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.
Very early stages, but at least we have the domain and marketing site up.
Japan's Ministry of Justice will "consider" arresting the buyers in prostitution stings. Currently, they only arrest the seller - a move that disproportionately affects women & has led to women having their names dragged through the press while men get off scot-free.

@lorenzofbLorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai: Google sent personal and financial data about a student and journalist, who attended a pro-Palestine protest in 2024, to ICE agents in response to an "administrative subpoena," which had not been approved by a judge.

The tech giant handed over the personal information of a journalist and student who attended a pro-Palestinian protest in 2024. This is the latest example of ICE using its controversial subpoena powers to target people critical of the Trump administration.

If you could change one thing about various social media services, what would it be? For me:
- Mastodon: more visible search indexing option, ie not hidden in settings, to allow aggregation services to use that data (would still be user-controlled!)
- Bluesky: users RTed much more
- LinkedIn: respect hyperlinks again
- YouTube: better child safety controls
- Flipboard: better promotion of social magazines across the network
- Threads: beyond saving
- Facebook: friend export (I know, but what if)
We observed a 65% drop in global telnet traffic in a single hour on Jan 14, settling into a sustained 59% reduction. 18 ASNs went silent, 5 countries disappeared, but cloud providers were unaffected.
Our analysis of 51.2M sessions points to backbone-level port 23 filtering by a North American Tier 1 transit provider.

@appsFedilab Apps You said it follows every user, but why? Why not make it an ActivityPub relay? Nobody would have an issue with that.

The top of the Maclock includes a touch sensitive area that would turn the backlight on and off, this area marked in red. It doesn’t move, it’s just plastic.
Underneath is a board that is likely difficult to remove, embedded with glue. It has two leads coming off of it.
Without seeing the board, can you theorize how it works and how it could be utilized with a Raspberry Pi GPIO?

“This 21-Year-Old Bagpiper Plays Through Tear Gas to ‘Fire Up’ Anti-ICE Protesters.
Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.”
What I'm listening to today: "Sleepless", Soul Coughing
Gosh, I love Soul Coughing. Nobody before or since has ever quite nailed their particular bizarre formula.
Here's my favorite S.C., from "Irresistible Bliss", the album where they couldn't get their regular producer and M.Doughty talked everyone into a stripped-down sound. It's a quiet lounge song that hits like a truck; if you listen to it on a setup with a real subwoofer it will literally make your walls rattle.
What I'm listening to today: "Placelessness" (excerpt), Chris Abrahams with Oren Ambarchi and Robbie Avenaim
A beautiful single stretched-out abstract jazz moment, like time itself is made of honey and will not let you go. I remember Spin once described a Boredoms song as "like the opening to an epic rock song that never starts". This is more like a single five seconds between bridge and verse stretched out forever, growing and deepening without progressing. Anti-music.
