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.
I upgraded my Shokz OpenRun Pro to the newest Pro 2 mini model and the difference in audio quality for spoken word, shape of the headphones, and smaller circumference makes them so much better for sleeping in. Not an ad, just info for other people who sleep in headphones 💕 https://shokz.com/products/openrun-pro-2-garmin

'They "move fast" when they "break things" so they're not hit by the falling debris. Similarly, the real race to space, wealth, and whatever the tech titans think they mean by "sovereignty" is less a race toward some vision of techno-utopia than a running away from all the damage and resentment they're trying to leave behind.'

试着配置了kagi`提高或降低搜索结果中的域名`的功能
主要是 提权/置顶 了部分”技术,学习网站、社区“，降权/屏蔽 了部分“新闻,垃圾网站、社区”，更深入可以参考这个项目：https://github.com/obgnail/chinese-internet-is-dead ，还有就是kagi的域名降权提权是：图二
然后用的Custom CSS是https://github.com/kawaiier/awesome-kagi-css 的kagi-search-custom-css：https://github.com/kawaiier/awesome-kagi-css?tab=readme-ov-file#kagi-search-custom-css
Lens还没配置，好像是类似专题搜索吗？
自定义 Bangs也还没配置，好像是类似shortcut吗？
重定向开了一个^https://x.com|https://xcancel.com ，之后可以加上其他的自建实例和其他规则
Kagi API 门户还没设置，之后（可能永远不会）再探索吧
Kagi Assistant选的模型是Grok-4.1-fast(reasoning)，不够不加reasoning应该对敏感话题更宽容

账户方面，换邮箱、开2FA、Recovery-Code了

Blocked the whole https://mostr.pub bridge domain as I got more and more completely unrelated seemingly #Nostr postings as reply notifications via #Mostr, neither mentioning me nor being replies to one of my Mastodon posts.
Example: https://mostr.pub/objects/caa8284d2b3d066310fca801f102abf8f4bfae4bf66b80e33c34dd29340da2b8 (But this link just returns a huge JSON file if opened in a browser. 🙄)
Bug in Mastodon? Bug in Mostr? Both?

Ars: we have retracted this article and will be enforcing editorial standards
Us: because your writer used AI?
Ars: Oh heavens no, because they used AI in a way that was so obvious, of course!
This general category of question from 
@griotspeaktj usiyan is something I wonder about a lot. For many/most human beings, hearing good information and even •knowing• it to be true just doesn’t seem to outweigh having bad information in one’s face over and over.
I know there will a Mastodonian urge to reply with “well ••I•• never succumb to that” or “Here’s how I avoid that,” and…good for you, I guess? (Also, really?) But not the question. The question is how we communicate to people who •are• succumbing.
I submitted a talk to speak about my ongoing effort to produce a HandlebarsJS but for #Django templates. It's called Django Template Transpiler —because I'm quite a boring person — and I believe this may have a place in Django's future.
I hope I'm selected. I never went farther than Germany 🤔

Let’s all start calling X, FB, IG, TikTok, etc the “legacy corporate social media”. Make them sound sad and old and behind the times.

@adafruit but… why? You talk about how this piece was made but don’t actually describe what it does. Why would I want yo buy this hardware? The only advantage you’re giving me is it was designed by AI.
AI sucks, you should feel bad for using such environmentally regressive tech, and you should feel embarrassed that your embrace of this imprecise, unproven technology shows your institution has poor critical thinking.

@Em0nM4stodonEm 
@adafruit man I recommended adafruit on my website, guess its time to delete that part =(
All the "AI" products they developed would have been impossible without exploiting the creations and personal information of millions of people without their consent.
This is happening without any compensation for the hard work and data of the people without whom their technology would be impossible.
They are making billions from this exploitation.
Is this something you support?
seems like there is some sort of effort to verify accounts on mastodon / the fediverse now
@kodingwarriorJaeyeol Lee what is fediverse-kr-verify?
@axbomPer Axbom what is FediSverige-katalogen?
there have previosly been post from 
@GargronEugen Rochko and 
@FediTips about verifications scams ,
and then there is the W by Anna Zeiter aiming for verification to align with new euro policy efforts. Did 
@_elenaElena Rossini 📍 FOSDEM write an article on it?
"Google has criticized the European Union’s intentions to achieve digital sovereignty through open-source software."
Umm...ok...I think I can see why they did that, but lets read further...
"The company [Google] warned that Brussels’ policies aimed at reducing dependence on American tech companies could harm competitiveness. "
Yeah. For Google itself it can definitely "harm [their] competetiveness".
"According to Google, the idea of replacing current tools with open-source programs would not contribute to economic growth."
Correct again, if you ARE Google. If everyone start using open-source alternatives it will most likely not contribute to Googles economic growth.
It quite likely will contribute to economic growth for a bunch of smaller/new companies. It will also open the playing field for software development which still being possible for anyone to verify/test/check/view the source code to ensure there are no flaws in there, or algorithms for tracking people based on advertising goals.
They are kind of correct too in that it will probably cause a temporary set-back in economic growth for all those companies that live under the illusion of "there should always be growth and we will do anything to make that happen", but I consider that a good thing. When that speed bump has been passed there will be an opportunity to do a controlled/reasonable acceleration.
Given that Google has removed the "Don't be evil" from their Mission Statement, for unknown reason, I think it is wise, for many different reasons, to cut down on the dependence on Google (and Microsoft, Facebook etc), and to look at alternatives. Ideally open-source ones that can be scrutinized by anyone who wishes to do so.

How do we clearly communicate to less tech focused people the issues with something like Ring cameras? My mom needs some security cameras so I immediately said “ok we’ll find something but don’t use ring cameras” and she asked if I didn’t think a ring camera could cover the areas she needed. I explained the ICE affiliation and she got it but I wish she had already known. She is still in the twin cities so “no ICE” *is* front of mind.

The fediverse now has a mobile-first personal server called Holos by @HolosSocial (via 
@appsFedilab Apps). It's a full ActivityPub server that runs on your Android device (iOS coming soon). You own your identity with a custom domain and your followers live on your device.
Project URL: https://holos.social
Key features:
✅ Your server on your phone – Your identity, keys, and followers live on your device, not a giant shared server.
✅ Custom domain identity – Permanently own your handle (@you@yourname.com) and take it anywhere.
✅ True E2EE for DMs – Real end-to-end encryption for private conversations, a major privacy upgrade.
✅ Relay-based connectivity – Connects to the wider fediverse via relays, so a personal server is practical on mobile.
Open source, privacy-focused, and built to give you real ownership in the fediverse. The Android version is available now.

We've been using LLMs for software and firmware for years... now we're trying hardware. Threw a MAX44009 datasheet at Gemini Deep Think, asked for an EagleCAD library file, and about 10 minutes later it popped out working XML. Loaded it in Eagle, checked the pins and dimensions, rolled with it.

@mavuAlien software, human hardware @adafruit Why though? This is a perfect use for generative AI. Creating footprints is pure slog work, pad size, pad spacing, solder paste, solder mask, silk screen. Look up the the sizes in the data sheet, or a seperate sizing spec sheet if it's from TI. The associate pins with pads. It can take hours and at the end you have a schematic component so now you can begin the actual engineering.
@orangutanlibrarianSam @adafruit because genAI companies are anti-social parasites who only thrive by stealing everyone's creations without asking for permission or giving even a thought to compensation. From music to art, from books to shitposts. Everything stolen and the result sold for money.
They destroy lives of people from artists to engineers.
They eat energy and capital at an insane rate, and the crash will be a desaster.
Use genAI and accept all of the above as inevitable, or fight it.
