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.
Solving the problem in general is going to take a lot more sophisticated thinking and organizing but at the very least, if you're a github user, go to https://github.com/crabby-rathbun 's page and in the lower left click the faint grey "block or report" button and ensure that this unrepentant asshole is blocked from all of your repositories.
this is what it looks like if you did it right
Happy Friday!
Lots of folks in tech are looking for work right now, so here's a thread of some tech for good (or at least, hopefully not explicitly evil) roles I found around the web.

Genuinely very impressed by the SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle I just got out of Google's new Gemini 3 Deep Think model https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/12/gemini-3-deep-think/
@simonSimon Willison Very cool. I also think at this point "every" model maker must have the Simon's Pelican on a Bike filter set to 100% for pre-launch, no?
Strange that a pachinko company would move into video game development but here we are.

I saw yet another “CSS is a massively bloated mess” whine and I’m like. My dude. My brother in Chromium. It is trying as hard as it can to express the totality of visual presentation and layout design and typography and animation and digital interactivity and a few other things in a human-readable text format. It’s not bloated, it’s fantastically ambitious. Its reach is greater than most of us can hope to grasp. Put some *respect* on its *name*.
what in the actual fuckery fucking fuck is this fucking shit
The European Commission told TikTok to “change several key features, including disabling infinite scrolling, setting strict screen time breaks and changing its recommender systems. The demand follows the Commission's declaration that TikTok’s design is addictive to users.”
Now do the same for the US services!

i hate all these sick motherfuckers who are inflicting this garbage on us.
they are forcing us to go to gas town, kicking and screaming, despite our never having consented to go to gas town or live in a world where going to gas town is actually appealing.
People: I won't use emacs, elisp does exactly what I tell it but I don't understand
Also people: I won't use regular expressions, they do exactly what I say but I don't understand
Also also people: I will write a small novel of instructions to my LLM-based editor and it'll do some semi-random weird shit but that's 100% OK, at least it's not elisp or regexes and deterministic behaviour's overrated anyway!

My health insurance provider just updated their terms to say that any information they have about me can be used to train AI, either by them or third parties they provide it to.
Continuing to have health insurance through them automatically constitutes accepting the terms. If I don't like it, I can stop having health insurance.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.
Zuck taking advantage of every opportunity, I guess. "World's going to shit? Well, I guess EFF will be too busy opposing fascism to notice that we launched surveillance glasses!"
Cool, cool.

What I'm listening to today: "Sex", the Necks
This is an Australian jazz trio whose "albums" all seem to be very long single pieces. This is their first release, and it hits a satisfying loungy groove in second one then digs in for *an hour*, constantly shifting the whole time, like a knob is being very slowly turned up on a single emotion. If you like electronic music with very long track lengths this basically is jazz custom made for you. Like, Plastikman fans attn
What I'm listening to today: "To Day Interval", Autechre
One of two remixes Æ did of "Ten Day Interval" by math-rock/post-rock/progressive-jazz group Tortoise. The other remix is straightforward if Autechre-y but *this* one, this one's a minimal obsessive dissection of a single piano track and I love it—one of my fav points in Æ's whole discography. It's like a meditation, emptying your mind except for a single image which you focus on until you understand it Completely

Oops, 16 people on the waitlist for first and I snagged the last seat. Neener neener.
Also getting home 2h early. So yay.
One of the funny things to me about the way we use languages with coroutines (or "async" if you're nasty) is that we set up the coroutines and then... Immediately await on them.
It's like... We're halfway there. So close. So close to actually taking advantage of concurrent programming. And yes, letting the event loop get in there instead of blocking hard on a main thread is a good thing and a strict improvement in circumstances where it matters.
But I do think sometimes about all the code I've seen where there are three network requests to three separate services that are totally independent of each other and the code is just... Eating the cost of "fully resolve request 1, fully resolve request 2, fully resolve request 3." I do wonder, sometimes, how many people think of these tools as concurrency and not just "the magic pixie-dust syntax I have to use to make half my functions the right color to be called from my other functions."
This is a well-written #FOSDEM presentation about #Nubo cloud from France: https://archive.fosdem.org/2025/events/attachments/fosdem-2025-6234-nubo-the-french-government-sovereign-cloud/slides/238670/fosdem_sxFXcPL.pdf

I've been doing some tests of Valgrind on OmniOS. Mostly looking good.
One thing that I've seen is that there are some gaps in the virtualisation of /proc.
For instance, if you call open[at]() or readlink[at]() on /proc/pid/object/a.out without any virtualisation that would work on e.g. memcheck-amd64-solaris rather than the guest executable. In the open/readlink syscall wrappers we have to check the path and if it is a special procfs path then switch it to use the path to the guest exe.
Been a little busy with work / family life, but finally got around to pushing out some very minor updates to the wruby project.
Also wrote about building wruby through #sourcehut builds + hosting with pages:

With me, staying at home for Saturday and Sunday, there has to be some alternative plan created so that I will use the time as useful as possible.
I think we'll make some progress in the italian textbook, I will most likely end my Gentoo adventure and reinstall the laptop for something else and setup it for 24/7 access over ssh.
I was also checking if and how I could setup some virtual hosted server and learn new things on the real machine with some nice domain 🙂 Ideas?

With #HolosDiscover we checked multiple criteria before indexing: "indexable" enabled, account not locked, no #nobot or #noindex in bio, not in opted-out list, only public posts. Every deletion, edit or block was processed instantly via #ActivityPub.
Google uses that same "indexable" flag but ignores everything else, keeps deleted content cached for weeks.
We shut it down after pushback. Was that the right call? Don't hesitate to share, this concerns the whole Fediverse.
