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.

We talk about #HolosSocial forgetting some of you might not know this project.
#Holos is a full ActivityPub server running on your device. Currently on Android, next on iOS.
We already introduced #E2EE DMs and #ActivityPub identity through custom domains. You own your followers, your keys, and your identity. Relays are just infrastructure.
On the footer of https://holos.social we added pages explaining the project. Have a look!

@HolosSocial Don't hesitate to share
Hey everyone,
I built nixmate, a terminal UI that brings together the NixOS tools I found myself using daily but scattered across different commands.
10 Modules, Pipe support, lots of themes, EN/DE, works over SSH.
Try it: nix run github:daskladas/nixmate
Repo: github.com/daskladas/nixmate
Written in Rust, MIT licensed. Its my first public Project, so rough edges are expected — feedback and issues very welcome!
#seattle are there Buy Nothing/free share groups Mastodon? I love my neighborhood one but I’m not on Facebook any more.

Just found out about storyden.org/ .
I joined their Discord to ask them to consider #ActivityPub support. They haven't, they don't know much about it, but I'm sure someone could help if they're interesetd.
Barney dropped a line to me though that 100% resonates with us on the #Fediverse and what they're going for.
"Knowledge gardens, not content farms."
ONE OF US! 😁

The last week has left me grumpy, but it's getting better now. Let's hope Monday won't ruin the progress.
I think I'm also getting sick of hearing about AI all the time.

I was given a lovely anniversary present, a guitar, so I’ve been doing that instead of a wall of Claude instances. I’m at an IRL arcade with some kids right now, it’s great. But if I was 20 right now? I’d be those people too, for sure. I was without AI, no reason to believe I wouldn’t be again.
Different people want different things in life. All change relies on unreasonable people. It’s easy to judge and psychoanalyze strangers. Working too hard can enrich your boss but it can also be directed towards the things you want to do. Work doesn’t have to be everything but it also can be.

Some related feelings: * I’ve been a lifelong workaholic so, I get it. * I think it’s easy to, as a slightly older person who’s already accomplished, tell the youngs that they shouldn’t work hard. It’s well meaning but also a bit hypocritical * some of these people have real addiction issues
Just sayin’….
