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.

out of curiosity, when did you first start using unix systems?

(please no replies with details on this one, if none of them fit exactly that's ok, just trying to get a very rough sense)

This is a link to an article written by someone else, not me:

"I tried building my startup entirely on European infrastructure. Here's the stack I landed on, what was harder than expected, and what you still can't avoid."

We need more stories like this being shared in the open. You can criticise some parts of the decisions made here, but that's not the point. Someone tried, learned and shares the result. *That's* the point.

If you're writing a website link in a post or profile on Mastodon, it's important to include the https:// at the beginning as this makes the link clickable.

If you write the link without https:// then it just appears as normal text and people won't be able to click it open.

🤓 NERDY BONUS TIP: Mastodon also supports several rare non-web types of link including gemini:// dat:// dweb:// gopher:// ipfs:// and ssb://. The "Gemini" link type is nothing to do with AI or Google.

GIMP has again been accepted as part of the Google Summer of Code project - see the link for details and some project ideas.

We have a no-AI policy: in particular we need people who will understand the code they write :-) and write code that we can maintain.

Feel free to get in touch - see gimp.org/discuss.html

We're at this weekend, sponsoring the community hall!

Join us for a sticker swap in the "pink" Collins room to meet the local Melbourne community, and learn about the CFP!

2026.pycon.org.au/cfp

Make sure you say hi to the PyCon AU team in their swanky 2026 shirts! 👕 They might just have some exclusive stickers to share that aren't on the table. 🤫

Oh, and one last thing... if you register this weekend you can still snap up one of the last remaining blind bird tickets!

@thisismissemEmelia 👸🏻 @ricciRob Ricci

yes, if we're looking at mastodon and the model it has created that all microblogging apps have copied, then community doesn't really exist in the technical parts but must be artificially built up. The more interesting example is the threadiverse where communities are literal spaces: people congregate towards one or any number, they are independent from your server and from your identity. This, to me, feels closer to how communities start to create: pick an obvious topic, make obvious-y rules about what is on-topic or not to guide what people can talk about, then possibly graduate from there to another form (maybe a specific, closed community with your people). I do think more visibility should be given to the threadiverse rather than microblogging, or even mastodon, because of all the problems you have listed. And the future direction of AP should definitely split the server from the usage and build apps on the client only !

@rakoo@blah.rako.space completely right.

The "community" aspect on microblog UI is shallow at best. Instance names and domains are signalling community, but you're still screaming into a public town square about anything and everything.

Threadiverse absolutely does it better, but the crossover between it and the wider fediverse is minimal at best (I am posting on NodeBB right now.)

I'm going to be talking about this next week at FediMTL!

まさのあつこさん:
「「防災庁」を作るなら、現在、何がダメか、

国土交通省治水課と林野庁と環境省(自然環境の保全は防災につながなる)で何を失敗し、税金と人材と国民の声を無駄にして来たかを徹底的に反省すべき。

組織を作って何かをやったフリは、もう勘弁して。

看到有人評九把刀是「少數寫現代武俠」的作者,但我覺得九把刀的作品B級,很難認可他的所謂「現代武俠」的地位。說到「現代武俠」,我仍然認為我討厭的作者張大春寫的《城邦暴力團》寫得最好,是我難以理解他身為鐵藍為何又那麼下作的好。

最近再次想起1999年出版的《 》,是因為看到象友推薦 EP132時,引述了受訪者徐紹綱說的,他從檔案中讀到「王師凱」這個人一再出現,追查下去卻發現……這不是一個人,而是國民黨的一個黨部名稱,就像黃復興那樣。
open.spotify.com/episode/3JZnY

我在看到這段講述時,瞿然而驚,這就是《城邦暴力團》反覆在說的手法與概念呀!《城邦暴力團》講述的是一個真正的史實,它甚至比我讀過的國立編譯館的歷史課本還要清楚交代國民黨是怎樣的政黨:它從在中國大陸時就藉黑幫之力崛起(書中的漕幫、清幫大致為真)、蔣介石得了性病、少數重要人物才有資格隨國民黨撤退來台、在來台的船上,正直的外省人也動不動被砍頭,餘下的見證者為了活下來不得不整個餘生都卑鄙地保守這個秘密、漕幫(青幫)在台灣「落地」後的眷村子弟組成了竹林聯盟(竹聯幫)並壯大……

In analyzing the impact of LLMs, old-timers like me get pretty pissy about how bad the resulting work is.

But here's the thing: the bulk of the geek trade already does such shitty work such that LLM-generated code can actually compete.
