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.

RE: tech.lgbt/@solonovamax/1160491

If I'm reading the disclosure correctly, the issue is:

- Windows Notepad is more than just a plain text editor now.
- In particular, it has a markdown preview feature, including clickable links.
- But, it doesn't have full web browser security processes for what to do if you click on a link with a protocol that triggers a local application. It gets treated as if the user was directly running that application.

So, don't open strange files & then click links. (And update Windows regularly.)

저는 글케 생각해요 어디에서 일어났건 갈등은 사람간의 일이잖아요 그럼 매개체가 sns일뿐이지 현실과의 차등은 사실상 없는거죠 경중을 두려고 애쓰지 않아도 괜찮다구 생각합니다 화는 낼 수 있을때 내는겨 삭히다가 독되는구

"The Afrofuturist heist game offers engaging puzzles, a memorable cast, and a sharp answer for how to start fixing colonizers’ centuries of wrongdoing. Nomali, an All-African freerunning champion whose speed has earned her the nickname Lightning, gets roped into her grandmother Professor Grace’s plan to reclaim stolen African artifacts from private collections and auction houses across the world, returning them to the people they were taken from."

Love the premise!

Got yelled at again for posting a photo description that included fancy camera gear while failing to performatively disclaim the fact that you can make good photos with cheaper gear.

Yes, OF COURSE THAT’S TRUE. But I’m captioning my work, not writing a complete tutorial on photography. Sorry if my use of fancy tools offends you, but I think it’s helpful to know how an image was created.

Instead of a WhatsApp group or whatever, my two oldest friends and me have a private non-federated Mastodon instance running on my laptop for some time now :blobcatgiggle:

It's all private and closed so only we 3 use it to communicate and share stories with each other!

You can just disable federation and set everything private so it becomes a little intranet for friends!

is really amazing :mastodon:

hey uhhh. I got fired yesterday. if anyone has rust positions in the Netherlands let me know!

update: for context, I'm a compiler witch and a member of the Rust compiler team. I've worked on a bunch of cool stuff in rustc, including "the never type", "tail calls", and "trait upcasting". See my github (I also accept sponsorships if you feel like it :D). Didn't expect this post to blow up way past my circle of friends :neocat_melt_blep:

Rust folk: now that it's been a bit since the serde-yaml thing, anyone got opinions on serde-saphyr? Or any of the other serde YAML libraries? The ecosystem still seems a little confusing.

7/ The new SAVE Act’s list of approved citizenship documentation is at the top. As before, marriage certificates are *not* included, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those with passports or EDLs that do match)

“When the Border Patrol was created in 1924, white supremacists entered the agency, building the culture of xenophobia and impunity that exists to this day. They built a culture of corruption as well — CBP agents are arrested for criminal activity and corruption at a per-capita rate that exceeds any other federal agency.” southernborder.org/border_lens

- Users not being able to control who can reply to their posts

The Fediverse having thousands of independent servers is one of its greatest strengths (fedi.tips/why-is-the-fediverse) but also causes whack-a-mole problems when trying to block hate.

If users could pre-emptively restrict who can reply to their post, e.g. followers-only, this would prevent hatemongers from random unblocked servers posting nasty replies.

Github users can vote for this at github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

🧵 Thread - Part 3 of 7

@FediTips Re: reply controls.

GoToSocial came up with a way (docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/) to do this. It doesn't “solve” malicious servers, but it lets benevolent servers honor each other's inhabitants' wishes.

I'm drafting a “Fediverse Enhancement Proposal” document to make it easier for other projects to join GTS. It's progressing, but I have day job stuff etc. It might help to add a few collaborators.

Anyone comfortable w/ technical specs similar to this fediverse.codeberg.page/fep/fe & want to help?

What I'm listening to today: "(Untitled1)", TAKAAT

Picked this up on Bandcamp Friday. "Is Noise". This band are somehow connected to Tinariwen, the group from 1979 called the grandfathers of Tuareg (Saharan) rock music. Here's an epic lo-fi rock album intro, "unedited jam… recorded live to tape in Washington D.C", made in the modern era but coming off plausibly like it could have opened the rawest rock album of 1982. Shredding

What I'm listening to today: "You Don't Know My Name", Alicia Keys

Keys off her 2003 album doing an effortless, irony-free resurrection of soul-flavored musical styles at least 23 years older than that. Finessed to feel like the kind of thing hip hop samples moreso than hip hop.

I love this song, it's just so guilelessly sweet. This is the kind of aw-shucks just-a-girl romance song Taylor Swift keeps trying to record, but for T it always kinda falls flat. Keys nails it

Last year's shutdown of @glitchdotcom🎏 Glitch was a blow to my pedagogy. Glitch was ideal for creative coding classes and workshops. I looked around for alternatives. But there was nothing that was open, decentralized, and not at the mercy of VCs or Big Tech.

So I built my own. Here's Glitchlet.

Glitchlet runs on any shared hosting service (e.g., Reclaim Hosting). If you can run WordPress, you can run Glitchlet. Projects-in-progress are stored in the browser's local storage, but you can also one-click publish to make them public and remixable. Glitchlet is designed with educators in mind.

There's no single, primary Glitchlet that everyone uses. The idea is that every instructor installs their own Glitchlet and manages their own classes/workshops/projects. You can seed your instance with template files, or Glitchlet can easily import projects (including archived Glitch .tgz files).

Making something so easy to install and host has trade-offs, of course. No fancy pants Node or React projects, but Glitchlet works beautifully with HTML/JavaScript/CSS. No live collaboration, but you can still remix published projects.

Best of all—you're in control and not subject to the whims of some startup that suddenly decides to "sunset" a key pedagogical tool.

Glitchlet is alpha now, but its code will available to all very soon!

When was the last time you felt like you learned something?

Not "oh yeah, that's a neat fact" that you forget a few minutes later, but really feel like you've learned something, no matter how small.

Bonus points: What did you learn?

I've been thinking a lot about organizational structures, people within them, and how we work and interact together.

Between the talks of Blue sky/Black sky/Fedi, Discord, and everything else going on today, this article helped me understand a lot about how tech (and capitalism) sees and divides communities as fungible people as opposed to individuals with ties and context. I'm still thinking about it.
