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.

Never trust lawmakers who want to expand surveillance “to protect children”.

On this day in 1990, Primal Scream released "Loaded" from their classic Screamadelica album, a euphoric blend of psychedelic rock, house beats, and gospel-inspired vocals and became an anthem of the rave scene.

Remember: when someone tries to tell you that the only Democrats who can be elected are the most corrupt, depersonalized and venal, who agree in principle with Republicans on every policy matter that affects our rights and collective future, you should:
1. shout NO as loud as you can
2. punch upwards with the base of your palm into the chin or solar plexus
3. run as fast as you can in the opposite direction

Holy shit, you're kidding me. Lauren Hart is the new singer for Arch Enemy? You mean THE Lauren Hart of Once Human? Once Human, described even on Wikipedia as a mix of DevilDriver and Arch Enemy, my favourite two bands?
I am SHOCKED. In a very good way. I need to sit down.
This very much means I will finally be able to listen to Arch Enemy again. Oh my god. And I need to see them live again.

Really enjoying this new album from 祝游会, a indie/ math rock band from Shanghai.

Mit wem würdert ihr denn reden, wenn ihr was über Altersnachweise im Internet/die damit verknüpften digitaler-Ausweis-Pläne machen wollen würdet? Fokus wird Luxemburg sein, EU-Perspektive ist natürlich auch super.
Ihr dürft euch gerne auch selbst nominieren. Nur dann müsst ihr auch mit mir reden :)

What I listened to today: "HEEL CENA", Westside Gunn
One more from the ringleader of the Buffalo, NY "Griselda" rap clique. The last one I linked was kinda surreal avant-garde but this is good solid hip hop basics. Fantastic flow and vivid production that feels like it's picking up what trip-hop set down. He has raps about how his kids like Minecraft.
Linking the Bandcamp version which has the bowlderized no-blood cover art. Last time Bluesky actually censored the link
What I'm listening to today: "Gold", Lamb (Autechre remix)
Æ used to do a lot more remixes and had this *fascinating* tendency to find a real particular vibe that resembled neither the source material nor Autechre's regular work but felt consistent with Autechre's other remixes. I really love the flip here about halfway through where the instrumentation suddenly pulls back and it's like an airplane bursting out of clouds or a train pulling out of a tunnel into the open

What is the web I want?
@vasilis asks¹, so here:
I want a web that is accessible.
I want the web that works without issue in a terminal browser like lynx(1) or a light-weight browser like 
@dilloDillo browser, a web that doesn't require 1GB (or even 1MB) of RAM just to display 25KB of actual content.
I want a web that doesn't run random, untrusted code on my machine.
I want a web that doesn't try and track my every movement and click across every site.
I want a web that doesn't require cookie banners on every site.
I want a web that doesn't have popups.
I want a web that doesn't beg for me to sign up for mailing lists.
I want a web that I can mark up semantically and instruct my browser how to style in my own fonts/colors that *I* find most readable.
I want a web that I can deploy on a low-end hosting box for $1/month² that doesn't require cloud-fronting services, CDNs, complex deployments, dozens of frameworks, and a complex build process.
I want a web that doesn't try to shove AI down my throat—whether useless slop content, or pounding on my poor server to scrape what I've created.
I want a web that is simple enough that a single developer could write a new/novel browser.
I want a web that connects people instead of companies inserting themselves between people to extract profit.
I want a web that is passionately crafted with love, not for capitalist motives.

A thing I do not like about Rust is sometimes an error says "expected an object of type VNode here" and I'm like what is the fully qualified name of VNode? Like I could look it up in the crate documentation if I knew which of the two dozen crates cargo pulled into this project it's from, but I don't. The compiler clearly knows but I don't know how to make it tell me.

This account has a website full of tips and step-by-step guides about how to use Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse:
➡️ https://fedi.tips <-------- Click here to open the website
The entire site is written in ordinary non-technical language, aimed at a general audience. There's a section at the top with quick links to the most essential stuff, and a complete list of guides below that.
If you can't find the answers you want on the site, ask me and I'll try to help directly.
@pfefferleMatthias Pfefferle on "How is this diff from WS?" for streaming, Server Sent Events is unidirectional, you get what you originally requested.
WIth websockets, you can do bidirectional "oh, I want these notifications on this resource", "oh, I'm not interested in that anymore, give me notifications on this other resource" (essentially adapting)
SSE vs Websockets also has automatic vs manual cursor resumption — SSE will automatically tell the server "this is the last ID I knew, give me events since then", where as with websockets you need to make that yourself via like a `cursor` parameter in the URL.

What a fucking dystopian hellscape these assholes are creating.
Heya, I just released Lunet 1.0 https://lunet.io the static website generator I started ~10 years ago ☺️
I originally built it for myself and used it in some of my repos, but it never hit the quality bar for a wider audience: no tests, no docs, and tons of small things to fix...
But what used to feel like months of work landed in a few days thanks to a coding agent.
I've put so much energy into the related projects to make this happen, so I'm really happy to reach this milestone.

@deadsuperheroSean Tilley I've quietly been borrowing ideas from AT Protocol for ActivityPub:
- declaring moderation actors
- supporting content labels (first party abd third party)
- looking at how custom feeds, DIDs and other tech may translate across
@thisismissemEmelia 👸🏻 @deadsuperheroSean Tilley
I was looking at #ForgeFed which is a very sizable #ActivityPub extension (constituting the "Code forge" app domain in app-centric view, but arguably "Software development" top-level business domain in a service-oriented fedi).
The way that things are modeled here adheres more to the actor model where there's a Factory actor, which in turn creates resource actors that expose various sub-domains. For instance for the management of Issues and PR's there's a TicketTracker actor to obtain via a Factory actor on a forge instance. Though I'm not sure whether I'd modeled that in similar fashion, it is a fascinating direction where we focus much more on good protocol extension design.
All in all AS/AP offers a very granular foundation that allows for very interesting architectures, if only we dare explore them and do not dogmatically stick to some engrained notion how "social media" ought to be. I see #SocialMedia as but a small subset of #SocialNetworking.

@trwnhinfinite love ⴳ "oauth i think HTTP auth-schemes for WWW-Authenticate and Authorization headers are a good idea to signal which ways of auth are supported. profiling oauth is one step; advertising it as an auth-scheme is a good way to remove ambiguity"
Yes, if you make a request to a resource server and it's unauthenticated respond with WWW-Authenticate.
But you probably don't want to use Basic auth with a decentralized network of applications because then all the applications know your full password..

If your main timeline on Mastodon is getting too full and too busy to keep up with, you might want to consider using the "Lists" feature. This lets you move accounts you follow over to separate mini-timelines and off your main timeline.
There's a guide to using Lists and lots of questions answered at:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon
People often use Lists to create themed mini-timelines, for example you might follow sport-related accounts on a sports list.

@django "with the open-ended nature of the properties in the document, will there be a need or use case for a CIMD AP profile?"
You could, AT Protocol did.

Note: restricting redirect URI based on "application_type" or "client_id" domain is probably a bad idea.
