What is Hackers' Pub?

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.

RE: social.wake.st/@liaizon/116102

Yes it seems that way. As soon as i saw the suthors fedi page it was fairly obvious. And to some extent a priori i trust the folks who apply it in their work.

Scam detector I'm just writing off as noise. Thanks for this History!

@deadsuperheroSean Tilley so, now it's time for *me* to put *you* on the spot.

As is probably clear from the last 12 hours of active conversation on the thread you started, you've got an audience and a network that really brings people together.

I wonder, how comfortable you are using that convening power more often? As in, when are we having the WeDistribute conference? 😉

two weeks of running

number of files generated by snac is huge, but i don't care that much anymore.

$ du -hd0 /var/snac
133M /var/snac
$ find /var/snac | wc -l
35603
i like snac a lot: i run my own server and client, i can modify css (and i do tweak it often, i can modify the source code---didn't get to that yet ;)

sometimes i use snac command line, but mostly snac web ui and nothing else.

someday maybe i'll try to build some minimalist server, but looks like a lot of work :)

A very easy message to run on at every level of government is “MAGA politicians are stealing our money for their own desires,” because it’s true. We see it here in Huntington Beach! We see it at the state level! We see it nationally! We need to stop these assholes from stealing our money!

오늘 눈깔 검사 다시 하고 왔는데 안경은 안써도 될것 같다는데 시력이 아직 완전히 회복안되는 이유는 니 눈깔이 너무 건조해서 그렇다고... 일회용 인공눈물(?)을 쓰라고 하던데 수술후 방부제가 없는걸 써야한다고 함다... 이동네가 특히 건조해서 그런듯 요샌 근데 비가 많이 오긴했는데...? 일단 주문은 하긴했는데 건강하게 사는것이 여러모로 쉽지 않다는것을 다시 느끼고;;

I recently posted about archive.today (also archive.is, archive.ph, archive.fo, archive.li, archive.md, and archive.vn) using its archive links to launch a ddos attack against a blogger they accused of doxing them: mathstodon.xyz/@11011110/11602

That attack triggered (at least, the English part) to discuss banning archive.today links, and the ensuing discussion turned up evidence that (as part of the same dispute with the same blogger) archive.today had also tampered with its archived content to falsify certain names in old archived links: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedi

This led to a quick close of the discussion and a consensus to remove all archive.today links from Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedi
For the same reasons I have removed all archive.today links from my blog, where I had been occasionally using them as a convenient way to access paywalled content. I suggest that others remove their links as well, lest you unwittingly become part of additional ddos attacks and falsification.

std::cmp::max fails.

The error message: "the trait bound `f32: Ord` is not satisfied"

*belabored sigh* sometimes the most frustrating thing about Rust is that it does things correctly

아니 근데 모-든 나라에 관세 10% 추가 하면 모든 나라의 수출 경쟁력에 문제 없는거 아닌가요(..) 미국 내수로 해결할 수 있는게 그리 많지가 않을텐데. 배도 램도 못 만드는게... (폭언)

Today's #calligraphy practice: this now-classic copypasta from @lynnesbianLynnesbian :bune_ylw: (CC4.0-BY-NC-SA)

I think this nib probably needs replacing, it keeps chewing up the paper and as you can see the fibres occasionally caught in the nib drag the ink on certain strokes like the tails of "h", "k", and "a". It is a Hunt 22, on the stiffer side, not capable of the dramatic changes in line width you get with a 101 or my beloved Leonardt Principal, but good for smaller writing.

Written in English round hand on a graph paper pad: 
Friday, February 20, 2026 Hunt #22 nib, India ink

"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."

the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

Hey, you, reader:

Ever been browsing someone's blog, website, repo -- even their social web profile -- and thought to yourself "Wow, that's really neat. I love what they did here!"

Consider telling them! Someone on here made a post a while back encouraging people to do just that, and I've tried to make a conscious habit of contacting the authors of neat little indie and smolweb sites.

Email, guestbook, comment; whatever it might be, consider reaching out somehow to share your appreciation. You might be surprised at how much it makes their day.

You might also be surprised to discover how much making their day makes yours, too.

I have another thing you can do to help people in Minneapolis!

These kids are raising funds to go to Space Camp. It’s a beautiful structure: families pay what they can, then •all• the families fundraise the remaining total for •all• the kids together. Either everyone goes or no one goes.

The ICE invasion really knocked the fundraising on its heels this year: everyone diverted, one major fundraising event cancelled. It’s looking a little dire; maybe no one goes this year. They could use some help.

@Mastodon is changing course when it comes to how people join the platform. In late 2022, the team decided to send sign-ups directly to their server in order to make onboarding more straightforward. But that didn't align with the promise of decentralization. Here, Community Director @haubleshannah aubry explains the new approach to server recommendation, along with some other ways Mastodon is helping build community.
