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.
anyway, thanks for everything treehouse quoted posts patch ❤️
but tonight I am told we will finally be deploying Mastodon 4.5 (or at least there is a scheduled window to try, it may slip a few days).
thanks to 
@linaHoshino Lina (星乃リナ) 🩵 3D Yuri Wedding 2026!!! for writing the necessary code to migrate treehouse-style quotes to upstream-compatible quotes.
but as the treehouse quotes patch rides off into the sunset, it would be nice to reflect on why we made it and where it came from.
a thread.
Digital sovereignty isn’t just about buying European software - it’s about control, choice and avoiding lock-in.
Open source + open standards let governments operate independently, switch vendors, and keep control over critical tech.
Europe has strong open source foundations, but they’re underfunded. More investment in interoperable, open technologies would boost resilience and EU economic impact.

In an internal document reviewed by The Times, Meta says it will launch the feature “during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

I want to go back in time and tell the small band of norwegian sailors who briefly set up a boat repair shop on a remote section of newfoundland that, in 1200 years, random guys with wraparound sunglasses will base their entire personality around them

After shutting down #HolosDiscover, we're rethinking the approach with #HolosIndex: users explicitly opt in by adding #HolosIndex to their bio with interest tags, then submit their profile. No assumptions, no default settings.
This will power interest-based discovery across the #Fediverse, helping people find each other through shared interests. Still all through #ActivityPub of course, with real-time deletions and updates.

In 1993 it would have cost you $1,400 (about $3,140 in 2026's money).
PSA: ban/block evading and hell just in general contacting people who have clearly stated on multiple occasions that they do not wish to speak to you or be contacted by you is never okay
it is, in fact, harassment

FYSA: Videos Being Posted Right Now Include Epstein Shit
So evidently some large number of the 'blank' PDF documents in the epstein dump have, according to numerous reports, turned out to be MP4s renamed to .pdf
People are posting these videos on various social media sites.
You may wish to turn off video autoplay - or visibility - whenever possible, because my fucking gods do I not want to see a couple of fucking pedophiles interacting with an underage person and I imagine many of you are similarly disinclined.
I’ll probably release the first alpha of #MastoBlaster later next week.
There are bugs. There are missing parts. But it works!

One of the best pieces I’ve read. I’ve been having that Jan/Feb 2020 feeling lately. Strongly suspecting that something big is about to happen.

in awe of the resolution of these thermobolometers
@whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ RIGHT!!! on a whim i looked at ATN's catalog since I hadn't since an internship (wildlife video capture) 3.5 years ago and holy shit! you can get a 1280x1024 microbolometer monocular for 5k usd??? in my head that resolution/handheld should still be Insane Military Contractor level expensive, not just normal expensive.
If you were ever in an abusive or unhealthy situation, what was the thing that made you get out?

Andrew nails here many parts of what actually makes OSS maintaining hard work.
Empathy is needed more for OSS sustainability than money.

i think an under-appreciated aspect of rust in this space is that various folks have iterated on good error messages + suggestions for a long time, so the compiler helps you (and therefore the agent) fix issues
